VBT Bicycling Vacations and Country Walkers, two leaders in active travel, have announced new tours and destinations for 2023.

“We are excited to unveil our new tours for 2023, including carefully designed itineraries that deliver exceptional active vacations — such as our first-ever tours in Mallorca. Demand for European departures is strong, so now is a great time to reserve next summer’s adventure while space remains,” said Timo Shaw, president of Country Walkers and VBT Bicycling Vacations.

Highlights of VBT Bicycling Vacations’ new 2023 itineraries include:

Balearic Islands: Mallorca and Ses Salines

This guided cycling tour takes guests along Mallorca’s stunning Mediterranean coastline, through wetlands, rolling countryside and vineyards. Riders enjoy lunch at a historic finca, observe traditional salt-mining, and meet Majorcans at lively open-air markets.

Cape Cod and Provincetown

Explore scenic coastal routes along Cape Cod National Seashore, sail Chatham Harbor in search of harbor seals, and cycle the Cape Cod Rail Trail and Province Lands bike path. The itinerary also offers time to wander charming Chatham and Provincetown and sample fresh local oysters and seafood paired with wines from Truro Vineyards.

The Dalmatian Coast: Korčula & Dubrovnik (self-guided)

This inn-to-inn, self-guided itinerary lets travelers set their own pace while discovering coastal towns such as Orebić, the historic isle of Korčula (linked to Marco Polo), and the medieval walls of Dubrovnik. Riders encounter island routes that reveal hidden coves, beautiful beaches and several UNESCO World Heritage sites.
