Switzerland

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!

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?

I have done 5 other VBT trips and this was my least favorite. There were no "experiences" with local people which we have had in our other trips. Accommodations were all nice, but none were in towns where you could walk too. The time between riding and dinner I like to walk around the town and see the locals. Don't want to hang at the hotel and use their pool. I can do that at home.

Wonderful bike routes, great lodging, and guides were fantastic

First time on a river cruise/bike trip. Very nice! Convenient not to pack up suitcases every night, as we have done on previous bike trips. Loved seeing different countries and tasting their food (LOTS of food). It was a perfect way to gather with our friends from different states. Our leaders (Felix & Matilda) and local tour guides of each attraction were knowledgeable, available and fun to be around.

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 have been on 24 CW trips. This trip is one of the top 3.

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.
