Seamless on and off boarding, decent quality bicycles, incredible food, knowledgeable and patient staff, entertaining musicians, beautiful, breathtaking scenery (I cried with awe in Vienna and wine country), and generally well-marked routes.
My comments are nitpicky, considering the experience offered for the price:
•I recommend more navigation signs for the alternate routes.
•The hot tub was too cold to enjoy.
•It would be nice to rotate a couple of times with other guests at dinner.
•After 1 attempt at the meat sandwich / salad lunches we chose to eat out. Without thermal lunch containers or a way to freeze ice packs, the food was soggy and melted. Possibly some packaged options – peanut butter and jelly, granola bars, trail mix, dried fruit, and snacks would stand up better to summer conditions.
•I would bring my own bike seat, seat cover and definitely bring chamois cream next time, even though I am an avid cyclist.
Otherwise, I only wish we had time to stay aboard longer! Thank you for the best vacation I have ever had!

Our bicycling trip (Passau to Vienna) was a wonderful family adventure for myself, my husband, and our adult son and daughter (ages 28 and 26). Everything was extremely well-organized by the tour operator, and the staff there quickly responded to any questions or issues that arose, both before our travels and during. We had some difficulty locating the place where we were to pick up the bikes despite following the instructions provided, and few people in the area seemed to know of them. We eventually found it, but as it was raining hard, we were all somewhat sleep-deprived, and the distance from our hotel was longer than we had expected with only major roads on which to travel, we asked the bike rental company for a ride back to our hotel, which they did for 60 Euros. That process felt more stressful than necessary, but once we started out the next morning from Passau, everything was perfect. We loved biking along the Danube - the paths are well marked, the scenery is stunning, and the information provided by the operator was extremely useful. We would definitely book again with this operator and look forward to our next adventure!
