We had an amazing time - And I can't speak highly enough of every aspect of this trip! Our VBT leaders, Sophie and Bruno, were exceptional, planning everything down to the smallest detail. They were a pleasure to be with in every way. We loved every hotel, each unique, and in the heart of a city, with lots to do in the area. Our e-bikes were brand new, and easy to navigate. We were blessed with beautiful weather and enjoyed our rides each and every day. I would highly recommend this trip - it will definitely not be our last. We are already booked for one next year!

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!

Good sights, leaders and food. Unfortunately got injured on day one which deeply limited my ability to participate in biking. Disappointing and depressing.

I thoroughly enjoyed an awesome trip with very scenic bike paths, taking walking tours of historic villages, and trying different cuisine.

Rhine review
The two guides were really great. They did everything possible to create a very enjoyable riding experience for all of us. My carbon fiber road bike was phenomenal. Like floating along. The choice of bike routes was fine. Very scenic, and illustrative of how people lived in these rural communities. I especially enjoyed the wine tasting stops. Learned a great deal about the EU and agriculture there. The ship was very nice and the food excellent. However the VBT group was a bit constrained by the rules and schedule of the large number of people on board for the cruise only; ex:!the dining experience was very loud and raucous. The only other comment is that the airport pick up in Zurich was not well organized and the taxi taking us from the hotel opera to the ship was totally disorganized resulting in the driver being lost for a couple of hours searching for the boat.

Rhine bike and boat
Very small group. Two excellent guides. Boat was nice. Some rides were longer than usual and were after lunch but of course were dictated by the boat schedule.

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!

Excellent.
We had a great time on our hike in the Swiss alps. Our guides, Cedric and Alex were personable, knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed each of hotels. They were of top quality, clean and comfortable. The breakfast offerings were delicious and staff were friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the many forms of transportation - trains, gondolas, cog wheel trains, and boats. The experience allowed us to easily find our own way to Geneva for our flight to London. And all our fellow guests were fun to be with. Most of all we loved the beauty and grandeur of the scenery. We sent photos home each day, but none did justice to the experience that we enjoyed. The hikes were well within our capabilities. The tour was exceptional.
