By bike and boat from the “Bavarian Venice“ directly into the heart of the famous and glamorous former K+K monarchy Austria/Hungary. Look forward visiting three of Europe’s most charming capitals: Vienna, the metropolis of waltz, Bratislava, the capital of coronation and Budapest, the „Paris of the East“. The bike tours lead you to the romantic „Great Loop“ (Schlögener Donauschlinge), the picturesque Danube Bend with Hungary’s largest cathedral and the legendary Wachau valley, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage with its small villages, beautiful palaces and castles. On board the two premium cruise ships, you can expect an exclusive atmosphere. Look forward to spacious and comfortable cabins, stylish outdoor areas, and a varied onboard program. Indulge in culinary delights and enjoy the service on board.

A thoroughly enjoyable trip rolling and floating along the Danube. I joined the trip with a group of 7 friends of varying cyclying experience - all were able to fully participate in each day with the choice of e-bikes or standard bikes. Being a specialist company for cyclists, the days were very well-organised and all equipment of high quality and very well maintained. The guides highlighted key attractions on the cyclying routes each day., which was tailored for our weather conditions. The core cycling days take in not only stunning scenery along the river but also vineyards and villages. Food was also great and very plentiful, and there was a great fun vibe on board!

Really enjoyed this tour, despite not being a regular cyclist. The tour company went above and beyond to arrange a suitable itinerary in the face of significant flooding along the Danube. The crew were amazing, and the bikes they provided were very well maintained. The Tour Director, Leslie, did an incredible job at our daily briefings, switching seamlessly between English, French and German to accommodate the guests. He even had a go at Icelandic given there was a large group from Reykjavik on board. Would highly recommend this tour company to first timers, and also to those who are more experienced cyclists.

This was a wonderful trip. While we had challenges due to the floods we always had an alternative offered for what we were unable to do. The rides were all on flat terrain and the days were varied in the landscape so as not to become boring. Being able to unpack once for the trip and have the boat follow was fantastic and it made the trip extremely relaxing. The tour director was extremely knowledgeable and did a very good job accommodating changing conditions. I would recommend this trip to someone looking for a relaxing holiday and for those wanting to try a bike trip for the first time.

Fantastic trip, great fun! Despite the difficulties faced by the organisers with the Danube floods they quickly arranged things so we could still enjoy great riding and the sights of the beautiful Danube valley. Will definitely use the company again for my next trip.
