Switzerland

Wonderful trip to Alsace!

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!

Fabulous Trip

This late September trip was our 17th VBT trip and in our top two along with Valley of the Dolomites. We had great riding weather and spectacular scenery. Most of the riding is on bike paths. There are several interesting towns to visit during the rides. The guides, Sophie and Eve, were among the best VBT guides we have had and were able to suggest a slightly longer ride on Day 4 with great views of Lake Annecy and successfully deal with two medical issues during the trip. Unfortunately we had rain during the pre-trip to Chamonix and did not get great mountain views until the day we were leaving. The post-trip in Lyon is worthwhile. I would recommend getting the 48-hour Lyon Pass at the TI center, which is close to the Hotel. Another reason to recommend this tour is that in every town you can find a very good chocolate shop.

Switzerland and France VBT trip

This was a easy and beautiful trip. Perfect for first timer VBT bikers and Ebikes . The views were spectacular and one of the many high points were the para gliders in Annecy. Look up on your ride. It looked like butterflies coming down. There was a glider port at another hotel.Also, bring a bathing suit in your “Gucci bag” along with a camp towel. There were lakes to cool off in along the rides. Our guides were wonderful and considering this was the first time this ride had been done, everything went well. If you do the Post trip in Lyon, the City Card was a good value for the second day. It covered public transport, admission to museums and guided tours. VBT has never disappointed us. Planning our next trip already This was our 7th trip and you can’t beat the beauty of the Alps and the people.

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.

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.
