South America

This trip exceeded my expectations in every way. VBT attends to every detail so that travelers need not worry about a thing. Our tour guides, Gorge and Miguel, were incredibly knowledgeable and made every effort to ensure that all travelers were having a wonderful vacation. The hikes, cultural experiences, hotels, and restaurant choices were all excellent.Unexpected surprises along the way added to our appreciation of VBT’s, and our guides’, attention to detail. We could not have asked for anything more to enhance our visit to Peru and Machu Picchu. Thank you, VBT!

We’ve been planning for years to take this trip and could not have been more pleased, Every day was carefully planned to maximize the experience. The trip leaders insured that we were involved in the culture, food and physical activity in the best way possible, Both the pre- and post trip totally enhanced our enjoyment as we learned about the beautiful people and country of Peru.

This was, by far, the best VBT I’ve taken (and the rest have been great). Peru is physically gorgeous. The guides (a notch above excellent) spoke eloquently about the history, culture and geography of the country. We had local experiences that we never would have had if we had attempted this trip on our own. The food was outstanding and our lodgings were quite nice. We saw amazing sites (an agricultural experimentation station from the 1500s) and learned so much (the Incas were an extraordinarily accomplished group). Highly recommended!

Just got off the trip and had a wonderful time! They guides (as always) are so great and really add a lot of fun and spark to the trips. Beautiful hotels, lots of time on the ocean, and the most incredible food at the final hotel. Highly recommend the trip!

This was the best trip we have ever taken. We were immersed in a very unique, beautiful and interesting culture. Our wonderful guides, Jorge and Miguel, shared their wealth of knowledge in a passionate, funny and heartfelt way. The trip was well organized, every detail attended to. We could not have asked for anything more. It was truly perfect.

There’s nothing like experiencing a country from a bike. Our guides were fantastic. Chile is full of breathtaking landscapes, beautiful people, and delicious food.

This was my first bicycle vacation, first trip to South America, and first time with VBT. Chile is a beautiful country with nice people, great weather and delicious food and wine. Be sure to visit the Atacama desert, too!

The rugged Pacific Coastal vistas were each more spectacular than the last vista. Biking the coast and the Andes Foothills made this adventure one that I will never forget. Biking was not challenging, just beautirul. Penguins, Sea Lions, and Wine made the trip glorious. Great Tour Guides and wonderful companions too.

This tour was a wonderful experience with terrific guides. Outstanding value for money. Our guides – Alvaro and Jorge – were simply fantastic …. informative, engaging, kept it interesting every day, on schedule, helpful …. we could go on, but you get the point. If you are interested in the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, we recommend this tour VERY highly!

This is our 6th VBT trip and I would say that Chile was one of our favorites if not our very favorite, without question! Beautiful county and variety: big city, vineyards, farming villages, coastal beach towns. Guides were super and the Chilean people so friendly

We were reluctant to give up the freedom of traveling at our own pace by joining an organized tour. VBT proved us completely wrong. They did an amazing job from start to finish. Looking forward to traveling with them again. The tour guides were first-rate professionals (Jorge and Miguel).
