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!

Couldn't be better.
I LOVED this vacation. I am an avid biker; my husband is not; and we both enjoyed the levels of activity and flexibility. The vineyards and villages were amazing to see, especially by bicycle. Jean and Jean Francois took care of our every need, and the accommodations were wonderful. What's not to like?

Life altering experience!
This trip was a life altering experience. VBT made everything so easy! The itinerary was well thought out and the tour leaders had extensive knowledge of the areas that we visited. We had a wonderful group of participants which further enhanced our experience. We can’t wait to take another tour with VBT.

Good itinerary with a variety of scenic wonders.
Very pleasant riding in mountain valleys & around lakes with a nice mix of city and village life. I enjoyed the longer miles. Hotels for the most part were very good. Food included in the tour varied from OK to great.

The Rhine River biking/cruise
Cruising the Rhine River with Emerald and biking in every port along the way was a wonderful trip. The guides Marjam and Felix were excellent, the excursions along the way were so interesting and fun and the biking scenery was terrific. We biked along canals, through vineyards, small villages and so much more. Highly recommend this VBT trip.

As always a great VBT adventure. Great bike routes through vineyards and orchards, along canals and rivers, and through quaint villages and countryside. Excellent tour leaders who were knowledgeable of the culture and area. Good group of bike riders. This was our first bike/river cruise. Emerald was a great partner. Past VBT trip have allowed us to become more immersed in the culture by staying at local hotels and dining at local restaurants. It was nice not having to move every other day. Overall an excellent adventure and would certainly recommend.

Switzerland tour
Absolutely beautiful tour. The guides did an excellent job in presenting the best of the country. Lots of movement with the public transit, but both Claire and Cedric were fully available to everyone in getting us where we needed to be. High energy tour!

A wonderful balance of adventure, comfort &culture
Our guides, Corinne and Claire, were fantastic - knowledgeable, thoughtful, and fun to spend time with. The hikes were beautifully planned with stunning scenery and many fun modes of transportation, and the hotels were all lovely in excellent locations. Most memorable were the experiences; each one felt authentic and special, like something unique we wouldn’t have found on our own. It truly gave the trip an exclusive feel. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Switzerland with everything thoughtfully taken care of.
