Switzerland

This trip was better than anticipated. We expected a great time, but this was outstanding in service, leadership and bike friendliness.

This was our first VBT trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The guides were knowledgeable, positive, friendly, helpful and very professional. The GPS navigation was great. The routes were scenic, culturally diverse, and well thought out. The excursions/tours were interesting too. Recommend the ebike for the hills!

VBT truly exceeded all expectations on our recent vacation! They made everything so easy, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience without stress or hassle. It was the perfect way to explore the breathtaking valleys of the Alps — every detail was thoughtfully curated, from the stunning hotel selections and engaging cultural activities to the incredibly scenic bike routes and just the right amount of free time. What made this trip even more memorable was our amazing group. Our tour guides Felipe and Luigi were really the cherry on top of it all! The camaraderie we shared felt effortless, and it's clear that VBT puts a strong emphasis on creating meaningful connections among travelers. That focus really shines through and turns an already beautiful adventure into something truly epic. Can't recommend it enough — we’re already dreaming of our next trip with VBT!

We have done several VBT trips and this one rates at the top. The view and scenery were stunning. The biking was easy and relaxing. And fortunately, we were blessed with perfect weather. But as with all VBT trips, the guides truly make a difference. Jacky and Cedric were awesome. They are long time friends and play off of each other so well. They are helpful, informative, and really take care of you. The biking is easy and relaxing on this trip. The accomadations and meals were great. Highly recommended. We had a great time.

This was our first river boat and bike tour and it was a very enjoyable tour. It was nice to only unpack once at the start and not pack up until the end. The guides were great and knowledgeable of the areas. Everyone in the group rode the first day in the rain, we didn't want to miss a thing! Accommodations on the boat were great and the ship's crew were attentive and polite. Only suggestion for making it better would be to cut down on the time allotment for lunch and spend more time exploring the areas instead of eating. Enjoyed the pre and post extensions also, especially Den Haag.

The trip was wonderful, good bicycling and excellent guides.

Our experience hiking in the Swiss Alps with Alex and Cedric was the very best of any we have ever had. The selection of locations to hike, as well as our hotels, meals, and exact pathways and local people yodeling, making cheese, as well as the local mountain restaurants was absolutely wonderful. The weather was sunny & in the 70’s, even God was good with clear skies. Our guides were patient, experienced and very good company. We are grateful for it ALL. Thank you!

This is simply a mind-boggling trip. For a midwesterner like me, the sight of the Alps is nothing short of magical (I'm afraid the Rockies will never look the same to me again). Each day's trip is very thoughtfully planned-the walks are energetic without being too technical or difficult. Our guides, Alex and Cedric, were wonderful-very knowledgeable about the area, and culture and history, and shared generously. You will always eat well, and the lodgings are very comfortable.I'd do it again!
