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?

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

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.

Awesome tour. Was everything that was advertised. Well organized with great guides.

This trip was a life altering experience. VBT made everything so easy! The itinerary was well thought out and the tour leaders had extensive knowledge of the areas that we visited. We had a wonderful group of participants which further enhanced our experience. We can’t wait to take another tour with VBT.

Wonderful Trip. Beautiful part of the world. Great trails. Informed guides

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

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.

This was the trip of a lifetime! The views were even more spectacular than I imagined. The terrain was ever changing and fascinating. The hikes were challenging but doable with some prep and training. The evening recovery was mountain-luxurious in beautiful inns with good food. What I could not have imagined was the incredible experience of being guided by Corinne and Patricia. They talked to us about the mountains, the flowers, the animals, the mountain climbing history of the region, cheese making (!), and a hundred other interesting topics. Truly a magnificent trip!

Even the most prolific writers would have a challenging time putting into words the whole of TMB experience, and our Country Walkers guides, Clair and Patricia, were simply outstanding. Their passion for hiking, attention to detail, and breadth and depth of expertise were nothing short of amazing. They took time each day to explain the schedule, hiking route, expectations, etc. During the hikes, they were a fountain of information and made even the most difficult parts of the hike so enjoyable. The hiking was exhilerating and exhausting all in one and the scenery was intoxicating! We (group of 6) reviewed many options for a guided TMB experience and are very pleased that we landed on CW. We all agreed this was a once in a lifetime experince for us, far exceeding our expectations.
