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

Highly recommend - VBT and Alsace Region
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!

Beautiful biking in Alpen valleys
Biking on bike paths and small roads was fabulous. And little time was spent on transit. Two hotels stood out for both accommodations and food: Lavey aux Bains and Talloires.

Refreshing Vacation
The scenery is spectacular! The guides were knowledgeable and helpful, as well as entertaining. It would be nice to have local tour guides for the towns where Ride With GPS walking tours were included. This was a refreshing vacation.

Rhine Bike & River Cruise: Basel to Amsterdam
Rhine River Bike and Cruise
The VBT portion of the trip was 5 stars as always. The itinerary was excellent and our guides were fantastic. I enjoyed staying on the small barges and ships much more than the big ship. To be fair, the ship’s staff was excellent, the room was fine and the food was very good. My biggest complaint was the acoustics in the dining room which made it impossible to talk to anyone who wasn’t seated next to you. Further, we did not upgrade our room and found ourselves on the lowest level near the water line. We heard every vacuum toilet flush and a lot of water sounds that kept us awake. Additionally, the furniture in the lounge was uncomfortable and there didn’t seem to be enough seats for all the guests at once.

First-rate tour experience - we will use CW again!
This tour was everything I hoped our visit to Switzerland would include: challenging hikes with breathtaking views, interesting educational sessions featuring local culture, and top notch accommodations with stellar amenities. Every detail was taken care of so we could just relax and enjoy our trip. Our guides were from the area and provided a wealth of information we would not have discovered on our own.

Amazing Experience!!!!!
I am new to hiking and am so glad a friend and I decided to sign up for a Country Walkers. My entire experience from initial inquiry to details and travel was seamless and such a pleasure. Amanda promptly responded to my newbie questions and made me feel at ease. Country Walkers air package was a great choice since literally everything was taken care. All I had to do was show up at the Zurich airport. The other group members were a pleasure to hike with. The tour guides Corrine and Claire were spectacular and went above and beyond to accomodate all of our needs. I had a medical mishap and they promptly provided me with everything I needed to continue with the hike. 5* experience and looking forward to booking my next hiking adventure with Country Walkers!
