Switzerland

I LOVED this vacation. I am an avid biker; my husband is not; and we both enjoyed the levels of activity and flexibility. The vineyards and villages were amazing to see, especially by bicycle. Jean and Jean Francois took care of our every need, and the accommodations were wonderful. What's not to like?

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!

Biking on bike paths and small roads was fabulous. And little time was spent on transit. Two hotels stood out for both accommodations and food: Lavey aux Bains and Talloires.

Great Bike Trails and Scenic Views. The routes were great and indeed rated correctly at easy. Only on the the last day did it get more rolling and a little challenging.

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

Wonderful people, great food, very comfortable room on the Emerald river cruise boat. Biking on long dedicated bike paths through beautiful country was great. Some biking in heavy traffic areas requires caution. VBT takes care of everything! VBT guides were fantastic. If you are in good shape for biking, you will love this adventure through historically important regions of Germany, France and Amsterdam. Guides and local people share their knowledge and thoughts about recent as well as centuries of old history.

Our guides, Corinne and Claire, were fantastic - knowledgeable, thoughtful, and fun to spend time with. The hikes were beautifully planned with stunning scenery and many fun modes of transportation, and the hotels were all lovely in excellent locations. Most memorable were the experiences; each one felt authentic and special, like something unique we wouldn’t have found on our own. It truly gave the trip an exclusive feel. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Switzerland with everything thoughtfully taken care of.

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.
