VBT has an excellent program--wonderful guides, well designed courses and great places to visit or dine. It is about as easy as it can get, one call & a credit card--airfare, guides, hotels, and transportation are all laid out, well planned and reasonable.
I have done it two years in a row and will be working on a destination with VBT for 2012.
Ate my butt off, drank good wine and did not put on a pound. The bike riding portion is designed & managed so that you can ride at any pace you chose or even skip portions you don't want to try (i.e.. hills!)
I have watched their program grow and am still impressed with the quality they are maintaining.
On both trips (2010 & 2011) I went solo but made several new friends that still keep in touch.
I really don't think the skill level or age matters that much. On both trips we had strong or skilled riders mixed in with novice riders plus late 30ish folks mixed in with 70ish couples and it was a party each day.
VBT has a super Web-Site, certainly worth a peek.
