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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Fab 4 Bike trip
Vienna to Budapest (Classic)
We had a wonderful time biking the Danube from Vienna to Budapest. The accommodations were great and the app was easy to follow. The bikes were very comfortable with soft seats and fairly upright so no wrist or neck issues. Our group of four ladies was a perfect amount of people to travel with. I would encourage anyone who can bike to do this trip.

Great cycling trip!
Vienna to Budapest (Classic)
The classic tour from Vienna to Budapest exceeded our expectations. We had a lovely stretch of weather, warm with no rain, so the riding was easy and pleasant. The small towns were delightful, especially Gyor, and every hotel was comfortable.
The bikes were sturdy but lightweight, easy to ride and control.
Power banks were needed every day to maintain the provided navigation. -

Super Fun Bike Tour
Vienna to Budapest (Classic)
This was a great tour. All of the details were handled very smoothly. Sandy took care of the luggage transfer with no problems. We enjoyed the towns and hotels that we visited. All of the meals were delicious. We usually don’t purchase dinners through the tour but in this case we were glad that we did because we got several evenings of authentic Hungarian meals. The bikes we rented were great for the terrain we cycled on. We will happily book other bike tours with this company.

Tales From the Danube Cycle Path
Danube Cycle Path Passau – Budapest
This was the trip of our dreams and was so great, I had to write a book about it!
We had amazing sights along flat paths, delicious wine in wine country and met interesting people. Navigating from the app was a bit challenging and there may have been a corn field we found ourselves in in Hungary where the paths weren't as easy to follow. However, it all added to the adventure. BikeTours was easy to work with and I highly recommend them.- What was the date of your tour?

On our own. In the land of Castles and Beer
Vienna to Budapest 5-nights (Active)
Perhaps I had not done all my homework as my Zmom had just passed and we were in Rurope two weeks before this. We never received any hardcopy trip material. Emails told us not to print anything off / we’d get everything
Our Vienna contract was very helpful and gave us a printed guide book. We failed to download the routes which others found helpful. Local gps also came into play.
Hotels and booked dinners were all quite lovely.
My husband fell on the third day and bruised ribs so we rode in the luggage fan the next two days snd I doubled back on the paths for a few hours.
The ebike was extremely heavy - twice the weight of his ebike at home.We would recommend the experience to others but warn them to do their homework.
