Switzerland

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

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!

Although the Rhine itself is developed, we had rides that took us out in the country along bike paths and seldom used roads. The ride with GPS and the downloadable ride instructions were invaluable. It was the difference between worrying that you were on the right path or sitting back and enjoying the scenery. The two winery stops were great. I liked that the second as at the end of the ride where you could relax without fearing you had more biking to do. But... the first gave us a nice break in the middle of the ride. The two add-ons were a great addition to the trip.

It was a great trip. Everything thing went well-even the weather.

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.

The guides were professional and well prepared for this trip. They shared a great deal of cultural information. Each morning we were adequately prepped for the daily rides. The sag wagon provided enough snacks and water. When asked to provide sun screen, they did. All the bike mani tenancy was thoroughly handled well. We have done another cycling trip with VBT in Puglia and really enjoyed the cooking class. It would have been nice to have had an activity like that. The wine tasting was not very interesting or informative.

"It was an exceptionally rare week, with superb guides, breathtaking scenery, excellent walks, seamless logistics, wonderful companions, and nearly perfect weather."

Absolutely beautiful tour. The guides did an excellent job in presenting the best of the country. Lots of movement with the public transit, but both Claire and Cedric were fully available to everyone in getting us where we needed to be. High energy tour!

It was fantastic from beginning to end! The Alps were amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed Chamonix as well as all the villages and huts we visited. Our guides were so knowledgeable and paced the group very well! We loved it!

The guides and the pace of these long hikes made this a very enjoyable trip. Experts guides know how to make the daily hikes enjoyable for all hiker skill levels and interests.
