This was truly the highlight of our trip. Biking through the.Wachau valley was absolutely gorgeous. The wine tasting was incredibly fun. We had a lovely lunch in Durnstein and had time to explore the lovely village and also climb to see the ruins where Richard of Lionhart was held captive. I’d recommend doing that for anyone that can do a hike because the views are spectacular. Sonne our guide was incredibly fun and accommodating.
We had a really fun day with Anna. She was very knowledgeable about the Wachau Valley and about the processes and approaches to winemaking that are used there. The sampling was enjoyable and we decided to buy several bottles to bring home, but we were limited by what we could carry! It was great to get out of the city and see the beautiful Wachau Valley after the very hot days we'd had before tour. We visited one small vineyard, then lunch and free time in Durnstein, then one more vineyard, then back to the train and Vienna. The bicycles were very nice and well-maintained. E-bikes are not an option and none of us needed extra help from an e-bike. It IS a bicycle tour, so you should know how to ride a bike and be able to ride for several hours.
Thank you for your detailed and lovely feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the day and had a great time exploring the Wachau Valley, the tastings, and the scenery. It's wonderful to hear the ride and the bikes worked well for you and that you appreciated the balance of activity and free time. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

Our family of four had a great time on this bike tour through a part of Wachau - it was one of the highlights of our holiday. The quality of the bikes provided was very high, and the experience of riding along the river and through the villages, across bridges, and even taking a river ferry was very special. Our guide was super friendly and accommodating, and we enjoyed the diverse group (totaling 8) that came along on the tour. As the tour title suggests, this is much more of a wine tasting tour vs a winery tour — think small shops and tasting rooms vs exploring the winemaking process. It’s a great day trip as a break from monumental Vienna, and we’d recommend highly for people who like to get outside and off the beaten path a bit.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so happy your family had such a memorable day and that it became one of the highlights of your holiday.

Amazing bike ride through a beautiful wine valley with stops and tastings along the way. Picturesque and stunning views. Ron the tour guide offered us a personalised tour with only a few of us letting us stop when we needed with a wealth of knowledge for the region. English speaking tour however Ron fluent in multiple languages. A day well worth it! Need to be active enough to manage the ride. Thanks
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted you had such an enjoyable day, and we'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Ron. We hope to see you again for another adventure!

This was such a memorable excursion! I hadn’t ridden a bike in years and I’m so glad we did tgis. I was a bit nervous to ride thru the city but the guides did a great job escorting us. The views were amazing! The wine was fantastic and time to shop was also included.

We had an amazing day on bikes with Sana. We visited 2 wineries, both with excellent tastings. The bike ride was flat and we saw so much on the Danube. Most of the ride was on bike trails. Lunch was extra but very good. This was a highlight of our holiday !!! PS bicycles were excellent!!

We were a group of 15 traveling through Wacau on Viking. We wanted to do something different than what the ship was offering and found a bike tour in Wacau. Although the weather wasn’t perfect it was still a great day. Beautiful scenery, leisurely biking, a great lunch and discovered some really good wine! Thank you Veronica and thank you to Bram for all your help and patience in coordinating

What a great tour. Our guide Nicklaus was amazing. So knowledgeable and personable. We were a small group but he made sure he talked to everyone and made us all feel welcome. The weather wasn’t on our side, but the tour is well prepared with ponchos and places to take shelter under for heavy downpours. The wineries picked were great and the owners so personable. Lunch was great as was the climb up the castle. I would definitely recommend this tour for the wine, scenery and biking.

AMAZING experience. This is the best way to experience Wachau Valley and their wine region. Nicholas was the best guide. We had gorgeous views on either side of us entire bike ride, saw so many adorable towns, had a fantastic lunch, and tried divine wines. We have done winery tours on other trips where vans drive you to and from and now I see how much we missed out on during those. This allowed you to be in nature and beauty.
