Switzerland

Couldn't be better.

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?

Highly recommend - VBT and Alsace Region

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!

VBT France and Switzerland 2023 - Great trip!

VBT France and Switzerland 2023 - Great trip in every way! ============================================== Six fantastic days of biking! The pre-trip in spectacular Chamonix was idyllic in every way. The first highlight was riding up the gondola at '' l 'Aiguille du Midi '' to the top of Mont Blanc. It was our first ever bike trip and we thoroughly enjoyed every part of it. We were very lucky to have such perfect sunny days except on our warm-up ride, we were caught in the rain. Easy riding through stunning scenery on rail trails and around lakes, stops in picturesque medieval town centers, great food, and amazing accommodations. The views were spectacular and one of the many high points were the para gliders in Annecy. Look up on your ride. It looked like butterflies coming down. This would be an excellent trip for someone's first VBT experience. Most of the people on our trip had participated in many other VBT Tours and that fact spoke volumes to the satisfaction and high quality they have previously received. My wife and I will sign up for another trip in the future! This was our first trip and will not be our last. Had an awesome time!

Spectacular Beauty

this was an all-around exceptional trip. The beauty of the surrounding snow capped mountains, and the stunning lakes were just breathtaking. The riding was mainly on dedicated back paths without much interference from traffic. we rode along the Rhône River, through fields of cows with their cowbells clanging and agricultural fields with beautiful poppies.The hotels were beautiful, comfortable and so unique, including the 1000-year-old Abbey-turned hotel on Lake Annecy. The presence of hang gliders as well as gliders added to the whole experience. The guides were knowledgeable, helpful and made the trip a lot of fun. We had a good variety of experiences and the food was very good. This was my fifth bike trip with VBT and right at the top for beauty.

VBT Rhine Bike and river cruise

We had 2 guides that rotated driving the sag wagon and riding with the group. Guides were very easy to relate to, knowledgeable about the area and fun to be with. I would rate the level of biking to be easy but beautiful country's to ride threw on a bike. The ship was top notch in every way. The food, staff and ammenities on board were the best. I wouldn't hesitate to sign up for this trip.

Had the trip of a lifetime

Had the trip of a lifetime. The guides took us to areas that were not crowded. The views were amazing and the walks were not too easy and not too hard. The restaurants they took us to were delicious and the hotels were nice. I would recommend this to anyone. I especially loved the meaningful conversations with the other travelers and guides. I learned a lot about Switzerland and the beautiful country.

Amazing Experience!!!!!

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!
