A fabulous experience with beautiful scenery and brilliant company - Out of our 9 day trip to Prague, Vienna & Budapest, this was the best day. Tim was very knowledgable about wines, took us to some fabulous wineries and was great company for the day. He really added extra personality and value to the tour. The bikes are great, tour is mainly flat and manageable. The scenery is beautiful and really encourages you to go back to Austria. Worth every penny.

One of the best things to do in Austria - Tim, our guide, was brilliant. He was very knowledgeable of the area and the wines, and was really accommodating to everyone on the trip. I couldn't believe just how beautiful the countryside is. And enjoying it all on a bike, cycling through the beautiful scenery and vineyards, after having a couple of wines, was just bliss. We bonded with everyone else on the trip, and all enjoyed an amazing lunch together. We even had some free time to go for a swim or walk up to the Dürnstein Castle ruins. It was such a memorable experience that I would recommend it to anyone travelling to Austria.

Amazing biking experience - This tour was the highlight of my trip to Austria. Sina was an incredible tour guide... knowledgeable, great at helping a diverse group become comfortable and close for a beautiful day together, and explaining every step of the day. Also the bikes were excellent quality, and the wine stops were thoughtfully curated

My favorite day! - LOVED this tour! Our tour guide, Tomas, was wonderful- 6 ⭐️! So much fun getting out of the City and exploring a couple of beautiful, small towns in Wachau Valley. The bikes were easy and a great way to get around. Wine tastings and lunch were fantastic. Explored town on both sides of the river. Highly recommend.

Great tour and beautiful... - Great tour and beautiful scenery. Lunch was fabulous. Moderate bike ride, the second half requires more endurance. 18 mile total trek with multiple stops. Time also allotted for browsing the town.

Highlight of Vienna - This was the highlight of our trip to Vienna! Our guide was really personable and shared lots of interesting info with us about the region. The scenery was breathtaking, and the two wineries we stopped at were very nice as well. The tour company arranged lunch in Dürnstein, and we had a chance to explore the city for about an hour. We finished off the tour with a dip in the Danube. It almost made up for the Taylor Swift concert we missed in Vienna!

Beautiful views and unique tour - We had Tim as our tour guide and he was great, we had the best time!! Very informative and it was great to see the countryside, which was beautiful. Would definitely recommend the bike tour, as you are able to see more than if you were able to do so via car/van.
