One of the best holidays we have had...

Inese
(Review obtained from Tour Operator)

We just LOVED the whole thing – route, weather, food, scenery, being outside – it was probably one of the best holidays we have had. Getting exercise every day and being able to eat Austrian cakes without guilt was a win-win. Cycling into Vienna and using their cycle paths in the middle of the city was a thrill.

Our favourite day was when we started off in Passau and spent the night at the MOST amazing hotel in Aschach which was a Schloss dating from the 1600s. The signage along the way was excellent for the Danube cycling route and, given that we didn’t know what to expect from our first cycling holiday, it gave us lots of confidence and also delight in the wonderful scenery on that first day. Loved the fact that to get across the Danube at certain points you just had to ring a bell and the bike ferry would come over from the opposite bank to take us across.

Excellent holiday...

Hard to pick a favourite every day was different but superb. We both enjoyed every minute of our holiday. If we were pushed the first day setting of from Passau with lovely weather not knowing what to expect what a start to a holiday and then to cycle into Vienna on my 65th birthday – WOW beat that if you can!

Our bikes were brand new and great comfy bikes to ride. Both my wife and I felt sad to leave them on the last day as it was a pleasure to ride the bikes even on the one day when it rained very heavy.

Cycling through Wachau wine lands with the Blue Danube sparkling in the spring sunshine, stopping and enjoying the odd drop of the local grape juice!!

Favourite Day : The day cycling from Enns to Maria Taferl. Great day of cycling with good weather. Travelled on the South Bank of the Danube where the route takes you away from the river and through some great countryside. Great views in Maria Taferl and very good hotel (hotel Rose) on top of the hill.

A very special holiday...

The best day for views was the day cycling through the Wachau with the vineyards, pretty villages and the opportunities to taste the wine!

This was a very special holiday with our adult children which we all enjoyed and will never forget. The smooth organisation that we experienced before and during the holiday helped to make it all very easy.
