Canada

I am a 'rookie; with VBT having completed my first trip to the Canadien Rockies. I had a wonderful time with the leaders and all the bikers. Te scenery and cycling were breathtaking. The meals and camarderie with our guides made for a very enjoyable time. Experience the wonder of the great outdoors in the Canadian Rockies! You will have the time of your life.

Our two trip leaders were wonderful! Very understanding, patient and kind with me on my first VBT vacation. Each place we stayed at were exceptional. I hope to do another trip in the near future. Everyone in our group of (20) were thoughtful and friendly.

The scenery was incredible, especially at the 3 places where we stayed during the trip. The trip leaders were excellent and very attentive to the group. The additional excursions, kayaking, Butchart Gardens, a visit to a cheese farm, wine and cider tasting were a lot of fun. I would have classified the biking as moderate, the 1st 3 days were quite hilly but I did improve my cycling skills.

The tour featured beautiful scenery, fun and attentive guides, interesting ferry experiences and outstanding properties. The rides were a combination of bike paths and roads. Compared with VBT European trips, the routes were often on roads and traffic was definitely a consideration. The hills on Pender Island were challenging so renting an e-bike was a huge help.

Great taste of Western Canada. Hit all the highlights around Calgary, Banff and Lake Louise. Beautiful sights and easy walking. Only wish the trip was a day or two longer.

Wonderful hiking experience! Excellent choice of locations for our hikes and hotels. Very knowledgeable and extremely positive guides. Great group of companion hikers too!
