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!

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

Title is fine so you know where you're going!
We loved our trip with two great tour guides! We enjoyed the food, the wine, the culture, the scenery, the lovely villages and of course the fabulous Alps! Biking was through some very scenic areas with agricultural fields and gardens everywhere! My luggage was lost for four days, but the representatives from our travel insurance company were very good about tracking it down and getting it to me on a timely basis. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone! Croissants anyone??!!

Exceptional bike guides!
The biking trails every day were excellent and guides were exceptional. The only drawback to the trip was the adjustments due to the high water level on the Rhine. In an effort to include what we would have seen traveling down the Rhine, we ended up being transported in buses. An understandable adjustment but the original itinerary would have been truly enjoyable.

Disappointed
Least favorite VBT trip taken. Being on a river cruise ship with 100+ non bikers made for a less personal group biking experience and placed time restrictions on long rides. Our guides were excellent. Those who planned the locals highlights, however, failed to provide culturally interesting or important events. Take for example, two winery visits where we learned little or nothing other than that their wine tasted pretty good. Too much riding in buses and too little biking.

Don’t know how I will top this
It’s too bad there are only 5 stars - I would give this trip a 10 if I could.

Country Walkers’ new Swiss walking tour
This tour is a new offering for Country Walkers. The itinerary offers just the right amount of hiking and other activities in the stunning surroundings of the Swiss Alps. The guides were very personable, fun and knowledgeable. The accommodations were excellent boutique hotels close to transportation hubs and attractions. The included meal were all first class.
