One week like few seconds
Innsbruck to Lake Garda Across the Southern Slopes of the Alps
We took our ride from Innsbruck to Lake Garda at the beginning of September and we were lucky for sunny weather. Electric bikes were quite new, but they belonged to the urban types. They worked on those flat and asphalt paths that dominated but they would be deceiving on the gravel paths. The organization of luggage transport and the quality of the hotels were perfect and the alpine landscapes as you might expect were gorgeous. Local tour operator guys were friendly and helpful.

A great intro to bike touring
Danube Cycle Path Passau – Budapest
This was a fairly gentle tour along the river, passing through and staying in some lovely picturesque cities and towns. The scenery was sometimes pretty but lengthy sections could be monotonous. This isn't anyone's fault - it's the official Euro Velo route.
On two days, train tickets were provided, presumably to limit the distance ridden, but, on both occasions, we elected to ride, making the longest days a touch over 80km and there was ample range in the ebikes for that. The bikes were great and appeared almost brand new. I would, however, recommend a pair (or two) of bike shorts or your own saddle.
The (optional) phone app from the local tour operator (Pedalo) was generally good for navigation, though a distance countdown for the day's ride would be a great addition.
However, we only stumbled over information about the day 1 briefing and bike handover in the app at the last second. More proactive communication (a welcome email a couple of days out?) would have been helpful. Pedalo support was good when we needed to contact them, though.- What was the date of your tour?

Beautiful scenery
Innsbruck to Salzburg: Through the Alps Along River Cycle Trails
Great way to see beautiful Austrian scenery and small villages as well. Weather was great and our local contact, Helmut was fantastic. I messed up on the deadline to pick up our bikes and he coordinated with the bike shop to adapt to my mistake and meet us after hours! Much appreciated! Also, my wife had some back problems and he coordinated transfer for her on 2 days and a train related short cut for the biking on another day so she could take part as she improved. He was immediately accessible, kind, and sooo helpful.Also the employee at crazy bikes who stayed after hours to get us our bikes in Innsbruck. Thanks for all the extra effort! The hotels were all very nice with great breakfasts and staff. We did not do the extra stay day in Zell am See but would recommend it. Biking days were well balanced with some shorter and a couple longer days. One of the best tours of the many I have done with bike tours!

A good experience
Danube Delights: Biking through Four Countries
Due to the low water levels of the Danube, we were bused to Budapest. The guides were not provided transmitters, so the walking tours were hard to follow.
Kudos to the ship crew and cruise director, Jürgen. - ★★★★★ John T
Beautiful Alps, streams,forests, and alpine valleys
Innsbruck to Salzburg: Through the Alps Along River Cycle Trails
Wonderfully scenic and peaceful way to see Austria. The alpine valleys were beautiful and the trail varied with forest, rivers and of course the Alps

Excellent trip bathed in beautiful nature in all directions
Dolomites to Trieste via Lake Bled at the Foot of the Julian Alps

Every part of the journey was without any troubles at all. The navigation app was flawless and very easy to use.

Really beautiful scenery and a great bike to take me down the paths
Danube Cycle Path Passau – Budapest
I really enjoyed the trip. The scenery was gorgeous. The navigation app worked well, and pointed out the details we needed to cross the road when needed, and circle around to cross bridges. Our luggage transfers were seamless. I was happy with my pedal assist ebike, which worked without a hitch and made the riding just the right level of athletic challenge (but not too much). We got a great overview of the ride from Vienna to Budapest from a meeting with the tour operator, so we knew what to expect, and weren't confused on our rail and boat transfers towards the end.
I liked staying in the smaller towns, where I could see how people live, and experience local hospitality.

Life-time experience!
Prague to Vienna via Cesky Krumlov
We had a wonderful experience on this tour and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Our guide, Milan, and our driver, Henry, were exceptionally helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the journey. Milan enriched the experience by providing extensive historical context and fascinating insights about the places we visited, which made the tour even more memorable.
The cycling route was excellent and very scenic. Some sections, particularly the hilly terrain, were quite challenging, but the rest of the route was manageable and enjoyable. The effort was definitely worth it, given the beautiful landscapes and rewarding experience.
Overall, this was an outstanding tour, and I would definitely do it again. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great trip
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
Overall it was a great trip. We had standard bikes and never had a problem with them. Our bags arrived with no problems.
It was lovely riding along the Danube and seeing different small towns in Austria. It was very hot when we were there with a head wind so some hard days but doable. - ★★★★★ Emma
Great trip
Innsbruck to Lake Garda Across the Southern Slopes of the Alps
Very well organised. Lovely hotels. Superb helpline which we ended up using daily as one of our group was ill and couldn’t cycle most days. The help included the bike being transported on the days it couldn’t be cycled and when that couldn’t happen a new bike got delivered instead. Amazing.

Prima volta in bici
Vienna to Budapest (Classic)
Volevo fare una vacanza all'aria aperta e con un pò di movimento. Il mio desiderio è stato esaudito. Mi è piaciuto molto il fatto di pedalare tutto il giorno e poi potermi fare una doccia e riposare in hotel belli con tutti i confort. Mi aspettavo dei paesaggi migliori durante le pedalate invece ho visto piste ciclabili eterne in mezzo a chilometri di campi. Ma come prima esperienza la valuto assolutamente positiva.

Record Low Water Levels on Danube
Danube Capitals Bike & Boat Tour
Despite the disappointment of having the itinerary substantially changed because of the record low water levels on the Danube River, we were impressed that the crew was able to pull off a really nice trip with only about ten days' notice. They provided nice bike routes for each day, the dockings were at interesting places, the meals were amazing, and the tour guide Jurgen did an amazing job of pulling it all off.

Slay Down the Danube
Danube Delights: Biking through Four Countries
An incredible way to see the Danube and explore the country side of Germany and Austria. Unfortunately due to weather our boat was stuck in Vienna, but our cruise director Leslie made sure we hit every spot on the itinerary and organised tours to take us into Bratislava and Budapest. The meals were incredible onboard, and always served with a smile thanks to Khatti and Mohammed. Our room attendant Nabil always made sure our cabin was well kept and cleaned it so efficiently. It was incredible to have the sailors not only guiding us safely down the Danube but sorting out bikes for us everyday. Everyone on board was incredible and it was an awesome experience. The cycling app to guide you around was so easy to use and the routes were so easy to ride on.

Staff and the route were just excellent. The hotels were great. I would have a suggestion for a local company, but it does not detract from the experience.
