Our trip was fabulous. Our guides, Michel and Cedrick, were excellent. Their humor, attention to detail and genuine concern for our comfort/enjoyment was fantastic and made the trip top-notch. We stayed in lovely, high-quality lodging and the food was delicious. I always felt safe on the routes we rode and appreciated the many options of bikes, distance, etc. Most of the people on our trip had participated in other VBT Tours and that fact spoke volumes to the satisfaction and high quality they have previously received. My husband and I will definitely sign up for another trip in the future!

Fantastic Experience!

Great first ride
Great place for a first bike tour. Most of the rides were along water of some sort. All was easy riding along bike specific paths, except for some short road sections. Hotels were ok, except for the last hotel was very mediocre.

Rhine River Cycling Trip
This trip was a little disappointing. The Emerald Dawn ship was just ok. Both espresso machines were broken the entire time we were onboard. Definitely not as nice as other cruise lines I’ve been on. As for the cycling, it was nice, but with such hot weather, it would have been nice to ride earlier each day. A few days, we didn’t even begin riding until the afternoon when it was too hot. The two “light” lunches we had off of the ship were dismal. One day our ride got cancelled, although it wasn’t the fault of VBT.

Rhine Bike & River Cruise: Basel to Amsterdam
Basel to Amsterdam
We throughly enjoyed our first VBT bike trip. Our leaders (Marijn and Mathilde) were amazing and quite knowledgeable of all four countries we visited. We both used the E-bikes which made the biking super easy. (We do not bike much at home.) The Bike with GPS app was fantastic and you didn’t need to be on cellular to use it. The Emerald Luna ship that we sailed on was great. (Though, don’t worry about which side of the ship to pick your cabin, we mostly sailed at night and during the day when at port there was usually another ship tied up next to us. We were not on the ship much during the day)

Wonderful trip to Alsace!
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!

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?
