We enjoyed this self guided cycling trip from Prague to Vienna. Accommodation was fantastic, the bikes great and the terrain a mix of forest, cycle paths and quiet country roads. At the end of each day we had UNESCO listed towns to explore. All the details were taken care of. Thank you!

The tours were good and the tour guides were great and very helpful. I was happy with the extensive coverage of Europe withing a short period of time.
When I booked my travel, it included Verona where I really wanted to visit. I was disappointed that the itinerary which included Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet was changed at the last minute 2 weeks before the trip. This was a place that I really wanted to see and thats why I decided to book this trip.
Although most accommodation was good throughout Europe, a few accommodation really disappointed us particularly Novotel, Bagnolet in Paris and the accommodation in Italy. This was well below the average.
Beautifully preserved Prague has enchanted visitors for ages, but it is only a tiny part of this extraordinary voyage through eight nations. Sail past quaint villages and great cities on the glorious Danube, visiting baroque abbeys and medieval cathedrals, tasting fine wines, and encountering new cultures. Along the way, you’ll uncover the splendid Habsburg capitals of Vienna and Budapest, as well as the many hidden treasures of Croatia, Romania, Serbia, and Bulgaria.
Travelers seeking to explore famed capitals and storied lands, to meet new people and encounter diverse cultures, will relish their time on this picture-perfect journey.
Portraits of Eastern Europe is a combination of Delightful Danube & Prague and Highlights of Eastern Europe.
Guides were inconsistent.... Some were very good and took personal interest... Some also knew their history well.. A special mention of Julio Magyar.. He did an excellent job of giving us a backdrop... Mariano too... Hotels were not always upto standard especially innsbruck Allen the breakfast of which was very basic.. Too long bus rides.. Should have kept trains for the longer trips.. My legs were swollen... Guides shd be with us much more... Some disappeared..

I really suggest this trip, suitable for everyone, also for people not particularly trained. We rode along the Elba river, in a very safety roads, on bike tracks almost flat, not accessible to the cars. Beautiful landscapes and nature, lovely villages, very welcoming people. Prague and Dresden really worth the trip!
