Switzerland

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

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!

One of the best trips we’ve ever been on! The guides were top of the line and the terrain was amazing!

This was my third VBT trip. The cycling and beauty of this tour was outstanding, but I felt that there were some shortcomings in comparison to previous trips. There was no local experience of dining at the home(s) of locals, nor were there any guided tours provided by outside guides. The support vehicle had limited snacks and they were only available once in the morning when we stopped an hour or so after breakfast. It would have been nice to have snacks available at the end of the morning cycling or in the afternoon as on previous trips. I still provided a good rating based on the other aspects of the trip.

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.

The activities selected for cyclists were wonderful. The guides were amazing, despite a few slip-ups, as this was the first tour of this region.

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.

Enjoyed almost every aspect of this trip: awe-inspiring scenery (having near perfect weather certainly helped), excellent guides, great comraderie among the group. I got a good moderate workout with each hike. Kudos to the CW staff who planned the itinerary. First trip with CW where I traveled by regular train/cog-wheel train/ferry and gondola..no vans (which I did not miss). We never waited more than 10-15 minutes from one means of transportation to the next. My only complaint was the room size at the first 2 hotels which were small for me (single traveler). The last hotel was wonderful with a great indoor pool for end of day relaxation. The food at the included evening meals was OK, certainly not gourmet, but the group always had a good time.
