5 Star Austria Tour Reviews — 61 to 90 of 675

The scenery along the Danube was gorgeous, as well as all of the cities and towns.

The ride was enjoyable. Easy to follow instructions and GPS. The hotels were very comfortable. My favorite was staying in the hotel that used to be a monastery. Thermal baths nearby, cute town and wonderful people. Even though we had some rain, to be expected in spring, the flowers were in bloom. Especially the red poppy's. The boat ride into Budapest gave you a wonderful panorama of thee city. Great trip overall

Budapest was the best city we visited during this tour. The room and food were great. The staff on the boat were very helpful and nice. The only thing I would recommend would be better bike route maps. The ones they give during the nightly presentation are not very accurate or detailed.

The biking! Be prepared for a quick visit to Budapest and Vienna. More time is needed at these stunning world class cities!

Experiencing the sights while riding a bike is magical. Forest, farms, charming small towns, stunning cities, and castles galore. Loved meeting new people. Loved being on the water and enjoying the scenery gliding by. And the food, wow!

All of journey was gorgeous. in the beginning the routes are more steeps and when you reach Danúbio River the path is more flat. All of cities that you stay are super nice. Anyway, I loved all.

We really enjoyed this self guided tour. You are basically following the Danube or Donau, as the Germans refer to it, essentially downhill, making it fairly easy riding. The best part was riding with a group of curious friends. Poking our noses into things along the way and asking lots of questions made for a good travel experience. The bicycles we received were brand new and half of the group chose electric versions. All of the equipment worked well and the support team was responsive answering questions via cell along the way. We even got a first class detour around a road closure. Two vans transported us and our bicycles around a closed area along the river, thank you! There are a number of bicycle ferry crossings. This was really fun to load up the bikes and cross the river by boat. We also finished the trip on a short boat ride into Budapest. I would recommend this finish as you get to see all the bridges from the river coming into the city. Our accommodations were a good mix of private guest houses and hotels. Perhaps one suggestion, would be to have 2 nights in Vienna, since there is so much to see there. There is a lot to see in Budapest so we extended our visit there 3 more nights. Overall a very nice bike trip.

My husband and I are not avid cyclists but we found the 7-Day Family Biking Tour rated “easy”, exactly that in terms of terrain and distances. The towns along this course are quaint and easy to navigate as a cyclist. The terrain in between towns and overnight stays were especially scenic and enjoyable!

Bike paths were very good and enjoyable. This was the first bike trip for me and I felt safe. The company was very responsive to our inquiries along the paths. The scenery was beautiful and the villages and hotels along the way were very good. Breakfast included in every stop was very helpful.

Great hotels, good e-bikes, beautiful views, very good planning.

We do self-guided and was a great experience.

Very recommended.

Being able to see the country side at a leisurely pace with our friends. Stopped to visit the goats and trail side coffee shops. One of the most memorable of any of our trips was the boat leaving Budapest at night. A sight we will never forget. Food on board was very good and service was great. The only issue we had was we were a large group of 18 that sat at 3 tables and we were asked to not change places but we missed out visiting with our other friends. We liked it so much we came home and booked another trip with Tripsite

This trip allows you to immerse into the sites and scenery. Our after look strolling Stein am Rhein was like sneaking into a fairytale storybook. These are places you only imagine exist in history, and they are so beautifully preserved for us to enjoy.

We loved sitting at Hotel Reutemann and having an afternoon glass of wine at the Insel Lindau port (casually noticing Rapunzel’s golden hair hang down the tower window in the main square).

In Bregenz we watched the sunset from the Seepromenade before going for our dinner further down the seawall. In the morning we took the Pfanderbahn/Cable Car up Phander Mountain where the view was magnificent, and rode our bikes down (if you arrive before 10 am your bike travels up free).

Our favourite meal was at a German Restaurant called the Constanzer Wirtshaus in Konstance.

Hotel Waldhaus Jacob in Konstance and Hotel Messmer in Berganz were luxurious places to land after a day of riding.

I also want to note that Rosalie, who picked up our bikes, was delightful. Ensuring we knew everything about the E-Bikes before we left. Giving us a nice sense of security as we left on our self guided tour of Lake Constance, or as we know now.. Bodensee.

The crew was extremely helpful and always available to help.

wonderful staff on the boat, great itinerary, fabulous food.

The staff was above exceptional. The weather caused problems for the crew, but I thought it was handled extremely well. We missed the Iron Gates because of weather conditions, but the staff made up for that as well. The final dinner was fantastic, but the change in plans on our arrival, not being able to land in Passau was very discombobulating, and highly stressful. Plus, we didn’t have time to collect my thoughts properly. It was horrible.
I would have like a better room than in the hole of the ship where I couldn[t see anything
I would have liked a better electric bike from the start than the one I was originally given because I had to miss some biking.

Fantastic active vacation with beautiful rides. Incredible delicious and healthy food. Fun activities on board and options for additional tours were good. Highly recommended.

The ride along the Danube was spectacular! Especially the last day from Krems to Pöchlarn. Some of us opted to go for city bike tours in Budapest and Vienna. I found Vienna to be especially crowded and wouldn't do that ride again. Nevertheless, our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting.

The beautiful scenes while biking along the Danube. We would of liked to have a longer trip in order to spend more time in the cities.

The beauty of the old towns, villages and cities we rode and cruised through was breathtaking. The fact that two weeks prior to our arrival the Danube flooded most of our routes and was already cleared was inspiring. The accommodations on the Vivienne were excellent and we were very well fed! The crew were excellent and very accommodating to our needs. The bikes met our needs and beyond (they survived riding through mud and flood waters).

Great food, good cycling and enjoyable trips to Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava

The best part of the week was being able to spend time in three European capital cities, namely Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava. The biking too was fabulous and we enjoyed meandering along the Danube. The food on board was amazing. The crew was exceptional.

While some of the routes were challenging at times because they weren’t marked well, the biking part of the trip was phenomenal.
The ship food was excellent!

We did a bike/barge tour several years ago in the Netherlands on a small 20 guest boat so we weren’t sure what to expect on a larger ship. We loved the ship and the larger group wasn’t a problem. We had some special dietary needs which the crew handled seamlessly. Our room was pleasant and comfortable. The crew had our bikes ready to go in the morning and reloaded on the ship after we completed out ride. The rides were beautiful. We enjoying cycling through villages, natural areas and the wine region. A lovely special trip!

Great trip! Despite flooding on the Danube that did not allow us to dock at some locations, we got to all advertised locations. The bike ride through the Austrian vineyards was absolutely stunning!

"Pedalamos por 8 dias incríveis, de 11 a 18 de setembro! A organização do passeio foi simplesmente sensacional, superando todas as nossas expectativas. Mesmo com o tempo meio fechado e fresquinho, o lago e as cidades que visitamos estavam lindos! As ciclovias eram ótimas, bem sinalizadas e seguras. Foi a primeira de muitas aventuras de bike que já estamos planejando! Uma viagem de férias completamente diferente e com experiências incríveis! Vale muito a pena, super recomendo!"

The bike rides and the night view of Budapest.

Please improve the GPS file for the last day of biking as the end doesn’t agree with the new ending at Marbach from Melk. We used the Danube river crossing at the power plant and damn from Melk to Marbach at Wehr Melk Damn.

We were paired with a fun couple at mealtime. They ended up cycling with us most days and we shared stories and laughter.

We enjoyed the whole experience! At the end of day 1 my wife said I could do this again - that didn’t change. Our group leaders (and support team) had to manage the impact of flooding and gave us a memorable experience - they couldn’t have tried harder. E-bikes made it accessible for less experienced or older riders but it still requires many hours in the saddle. Don’t expect to lose much weight as the food was plentiful and excellent. The WhatsApp group created for us made it easy to keep in contact. We are so pleased to have picked this tour!

The scenery was out of this world. Path was mostly flat and well marked. Wife was glad she had rented an e-bike. Ship was comfortable and staff was friendly. A few cold rainy days we chose to just stay on boat and watch scenery. Places we stoped at were wonderful to visit. There was slight impression we might run short of time to make it to some of the destinations but it all worked out fine. Only issue- while hand sanitizer was very available at restaurant, many guests seemed to bypass it. We came home with mild case of Covid.

Great trip! The chance to ride through small villages and see the large cities too was wonderful and taste the local cuisine and the beer & vino was a great treat! Thanks Tripsite & Euro- Bikes. For the bikes and transporting our luggage..the hotels were perfect!
