The scenery biking across Austria was spectacular. We were on the self-guided bike tour (Passau to Vienna) so tripsite was responsible for booking our hotels, reserving our e-bikes and working with a local vendor to transport our luggage from hotel to hotel. All the hotels were terrific except the hotel in Vienna (where we assume it was difficult to find lodging for five there at reasonable cost, so we understand). The e-bikes worked great. The route was entirely flat along the Danube, but e-bikes still helped (distances were sometimes nearly 70 kilometers per day), especially for our eleven year-old daughter. Directions from the maps and iphone app provided were excellent. Everything met or exceeded our expectations. We continued on to Bratislava and Budapest via train after the bike tour ended. Would highly recommend tripsite and this tour for families interested in visiting central Europe.

The scenery was spectacular, especially between Passau and Linz and later through the wine region. Flat bike path almost all the way from Passau to Vienna. The booklet with directions that was given to us at orientation was extremely well organized, very clear, and useful. We enjoyed very much the freedom of the self-guided tour, stopping in villages for a cappuccino and pastries. Our luggage was always there when we arrived at our hotel. The hotels were nice, except for the one in Linz, (Shwarzer Bar) which was right above a noisy bar, and with poor service. I would recommend a different hotel. A major highlight of the trip was Hotel Kirchenwirt in the lovely village of Weissenkichen, in the one region. In fact, I would recommend staying two nights there to enjoy the spectacular biking through the vineyards and resting bit in the middle of the trip. The two 70+km days were a bit long but very doable. Overall a memorable vacation, very well organized by Tripsite.
