Amazing!

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.

Amazing!

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!

Amazing!

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 ☺️

Amazing!

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!

Amazing!

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!!!

Amazing!

A fabulous way to spend a day. Nicholas was a great guide - fun, knowledgeable and with a good sense of humour. A leisurely day with very generous wine tasting (+/- 10 different wines!) Lunch in Durnstein was relaxed, sociable and well organised. We cycled about 25km in all. Needs to be done on a sunny day to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the Danube.
