Switzerland

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!

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!

We have done several VBT trips and this one rates at the top. The view and scenery were stunning. The biking was easy and relaxing. And fortunately, we were blessed with perfect weather. But as with all VBT trips, the guides truly make a difference. Jacky and Cedric were awesome. They are long time friends and play off of each other so well. They are helpful, informative, and really take care of you. The biking is easy and relaxing on this trip. The accomadations and meals were great. Highly recommended. We had a great time.

Six fantastic days of biking! This was our first ever bike trip and we thoroughly enjoyed every part of it. We were very lucky to have such perfect sunny days that were book-ended by rain. We loved the two gals that led the tour...they were "over the top" in every way! I had never been on an E bike, but quickly took to it and now want one of my own. I still felt that I got a lot of exercise ...just loved it. Every morning the bike would be ready with a bike bag and fresh water with lemon and the helmet. The hotels were all top notch also. This particular trip has amazing scenery, so it was very lucky that clouds didn't obscure the magnificent peaks. Will definitely try another trip!

Loved the trip, but would prefer a VBT only barge like on the Mossel river trip I took 6 or 7 years ago.

A wonderful trip with leaders, Marijn & Werner taking care of our every need and joined in dancing, eating and having fun with the group of 12 velo meisters. Beautiful and easy rides mostly on pathways with dramatic scenery and lovely destination cities to explore. The one stop accommodation on the river boat was a big plus compared to the usual movement from hotel to hotel on other bicycle trips. Good cuisine, comfortable quarters and a great upper deck to view the natural and historic man made surroundings, even a pool for a refreshing plunge. A great all round experience that opened our eyes to a beautiful part of Europe. Our mantra: "From Basel to Amsterdam we ride, With Dutchman and Deutschen as our guide. Keep us safe, let winds be kind, Joy and laughter as we climb. Amen to wheels, to roads, to friends, A blessed journey till the end."

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!

It’s too bad there are only 5 stars - I would give this trip a 10 if I could.
