History
Back in 1971, a Middlebury College professor turned his passion for cycling Vermont's winding back roads into an experience that others could share. He established America's first organized bicycle tours, setting up shop in the lovely rural town of Bristol, Vermont. It wasn't long before Vermont Bicycle Touring started to offer bicycle tours in Europe. Vermont is still our home, but we now offer an exciting roster of active vacations that include over 50 VBT Bicycling, Barge & Sail, and Walking Vacations. No matter how far we roam, we will never stray from our Vermont roots. These include a reverence for the great outdoors, a tradition of neighborliness that extends around the world, and a commitment to unbeatable value and quality.
