" ... VBT is a great value compared to many of the other groups. I bought the add-on which included my flight and 3 extra days, and the price couldn't be beat.".   - CSS, Ft. Collins, CO 

" We LOVED our tour leaders. They were very knowledgeable and accommodating. But it was surprising how many of our fellow riders used the van a lot. Out of a group of 13, there were only two other strong riders."   - DH & HH, San Jose, CA 

"... We had a wide range of riders, from novice to very experienced.  All got to bike at the level they enjoyed. Food, accomodations and bike rides were seamlessly arranged and pleasing to all." - Elizabeth S., Orlando, FL

"The trip itinerary was good, but guides seemed tired of their job, some days I never saw them that would have been okay if I could trust the written maps, they were wrong several times." - Christie, Manhattan Beach, CA

"They provided lots of activities on top of just the bike riding, which was fun and helps the group bond together. Even though they said it was intermediate, most days we did surprisingly short rides of only about 25 miles, so we didn't cover as much as I'd hoped. Next time I'll choose one of their more challenging trips.  - John G, San Diego 

"I thought I would save money and buy the plane ticket through VBT. What a mistake! We had two layovers, and one was for 5 hours! I suggest finding out the entire itinerary of your flight before booking it with them. - David S, Hollywood, CA

"Great tour, great price, with great leaders, and wonderful support.  We loved the fact that there were other things to do besides bike.  We had an optional hike on one day, right along our bike ride, and kayaking on an other day, as well as an included boat tour." - Barbara & Jim, Bridport, Vermont

"Be very careful when booking airfare with VBT.  Lost luggage on both ends of trip resulted from too many stops in flight to Italy.  (30 hrs from Baltimore.)  we received info re: flights too late to change itinerary.  Flight schedule was  terrible!" - Lisa Silver Spring, MD

"After ten Backroads trips, I tried VBT.  I had the time of my life with VBT!  Accomodations were wonderful.  Food was great!  The guides were the best! I did the Prince Edward Island tour, in August.  I really appreciated the air fare package and coordinating hotels being an option.  It made life so easy.  It is a little bit older group, which I like, and I found everyone to be so pleasant to be around!" - Edie,  Long Beach , CA

"We went to Ireland with VBT last year and found the trip to be very enjoyable and worth every penny.  The acomodations were very good and a good value for what we paid.  The guides were knowledgeable and even tho it was the end of the season gave us extra service and caring.  The routes were very good and although some of our group had problems with their air routes we did not and found the air connections to be very good. Excellent value - great trip. - Rosie T., Denver, CO
