Enjoyable bike-riding that I will never forget - We had only two participants including me and they still went ahead with it. It was enjoyable seeing beautiful autumn scenery on the bike. Lunch at Durnstein and wine tasting was lovely ! We did not use e-bike that day and thus a bit challenging as part of the roads were hilly. Glad that I made it being a 50+ lady.

Wonderful time! - This bike tour was quite amazing. We went right after the flooding this year so the boat ride was unavailable but it was still a great time. Nicholas was our tour guide and was friendly and knowledgeable. Fully recommend for a nice day out of the city. Cheers!

Great Experience Highly Recommend - We had a great day in the Wachau Valley! Our tour guide Tim was amazing from start to finish. The valley itself is absolutely stunning, the bikes were easy to use and the town of Dürstein was picturesque. We ate lunch at the restaurant the group tour offered and it was great. There is some time after lunch to explore the town and walk down by the Danube. The wine tastings were wonderful and we bought some local wines. It is a long bike journey the total tour in the valley is about 6+ hours with stops in between and then the train ride back to town. I would highly recommend this tour we had a wonderful experience ☺️

The best day trip! - This was the best way to experience the country side while learning history and culture. We loved that this was interactive with the bikes, but also had a hike available to us during the day. We also met great people throughout the trip. Our tour guide really made this entire trip easy and fun for everyone!

Highlight or our stay in Vienna! - This tour with our guide, Aussie Tim, was the highlight of our stay in Vienna. We were able to meet and talk with a vintner, sample many wines and enjoy the scenery on excellent bikes. 5+ stars!!

Memorable fun day round the wineries - We had the most fantastic day yesterday. Our guide Tim was knowledgeable, lots of fun and very organised. The whole day from start to finish was brilliant. The cycle group was a lot of fun. The wineries were lovely, in particular the first visit to see Max. A real family winery with delicious wines. The lunch was also very tasty. The walk to the castle is a must. Amazing views. It was definitely the best day of our holiday. We laughed a lot. Thank you, Tim. The Scots!!!

Great bike ride, but our guide was just along for the ride. - The bike ride was amazing, our tour guide was a flop. He was just along for a ride and to buy our train tickets, that's about it. If the guide was worth it I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this but we got a dud. If you do book, don't sign up for the lunch, it took over an hour which was all the time alloted to walk around the cute little town we stopped in.
This is an easy ride to do on your own and you won't be subject to a poor guide, or stuck in a group that you constantly have to wait for. You could jump on the train in Vienna, travel to Mitterau and rent a bike from there. The riding path is easy to find from there and you'll pass many vineyards and wineries along the way. Mostly flat riding with small intermittent inclines.

Leisurely ride this time - Leisurely bike trip this time. We were the slower ones, although we would rather have shorter stops and be on the move more. The itinerary reportedly depends a lot on the composition of the group. On reflection, we would have liked to explore organising this ourselves, renting bikes out from their very good cycle shop in Krems.
