Creator's Key Takeaways

you're in these little towns that you probably would never go to you're out on a bike just experiencing the beauty of whatever country you're in

the trip leaders on this tour are awesome you just get immersed in a culture and I think a lot of that is the guides because they're from these areas

I had luggage tags with my name one and I have planned activities for the day I honestly don't have to think about anything

no matter what your level of biking you feel very comfortable on these Adventure experiences

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

When you bicycle through a destination, you are not just another tourist. On a VBT Bicycling Vacation, you get to travel with a local, bilingual leader who is passionate about sharing their home with you. You’ll eat in local restaurants, stay in accommodations that have been family-owned for generations, and learn to make pasta with an Italian grandmother. All you have to do is show up at the airport. And your local team will handle the rest. Discover amazing destinations around the world from Cape Cod to Capetown, the Netherlands to New Zealand -- you'll find an itinerary of your dreams. One of the big questions we get is "Am I too old?" Certainly not! VBT's guests range from ages 13 to 93. You can bicycle as little or as much as you want at your own pace with the assistance of E-Bikes, as well as VBT's support vehicle transportation. Today, we feature the "Puglia: Undiscovered Italy" itinerary from Bari to Lecce in Southern Italy. Plus, we discuss some of the new itineraries for 2023 (Croatia, Mallorca, Cape Cod) as well as everything you need to know about the bicycling experience including biking styles, equipment, accommodations, activities, and more.
