I feel that G Adventures exceeded my expectations. I figured the hotels and transport would be taken care of, but I was surprised at everyone's knowledge and eagerness was truly amazing and I would recommend this company and this Journey to other people. I felt I learned a lot, experienced a lot, and saw a lot in a fairly short amount of time.

This was our first ever multi-day bicycle trip. We loved it. The Danube cycle path offered a variety of scenery…the beautiful river, forests, rural and agricultural areas, small towns, cities, ancient and modern places. The hotels that were arranged for us were lovely and the luggage transport worked flawlessly. We loved the bountiful Austrian style breakfasts. Our only complaint was that one bike was difficult to pedal for the first two days, until we had it repaired at a bike shop. The chain was rubbing on the chain guard and the front wheel was overtightened. Later, as we were approaching Vienna, the handlebars on that bike suddenly became loose and swiveled 30 degrees, which could have caused a serious accident. So we recommend that the mechanics who provide the bikes do a much more thorough job of inspecting and testing each one, as if their spouse was going to ride it for 210 miles.
Its very hard to research eating place until we have assigned the hotel was such a last minutes. Wed rather have a option to book hotel near center of the city if we requested the extra days staying before and after the package trip.

This is a wonderful itinerary for the price. We were able to see many points of interest in a short period of time and many of the add-on activities were excellent. I particularly liked the private Danube cruise in Budapest and the folklore night in Prague.

There is too much free time and not much to do in the city centers for more than a few hours. It would have been nice to go some other places beside the city centers.
Regarding our guide, Patricia, she was very nice and friendly and we enjoyed her company. HOWEVER her English accent was heavily accented that I could not understand more than 50 of what she was saying. It is not her fault, but still we paid for an English guide and I think I should have gotten a guide who is more understandable.

City sight seeing - Panoramic tours arent great, use of local guides should be more in city highlights. walking tours / hop on -off tours should be more. Berlin visit was a failure. wastage of 2 days. If any local events are arranged in the city then accordingly itinerary should be modified so that we dont feel cheated.
Hotel Albatros in Venice was the worst. Disorganized check in, room small cramped and smelled bad. Extremely small shower with inability to get warm water. It was either hot or cold. And water middle the floor less than a minute after the shower was turned on. This hotel should 1 and taken off your list of hotels.

Petra is fantastic! She provided a wealth of information about all the countries.
This tour was jam-packed with historical sites. There was always free time to explore on your own.
We traveled on the Amadeus Brilliant and loved it. The ship is beautiful, relaxing and comfortable. The crew and staff are incredible.
The are helpful, fun and so kind. One night, we were asked to leave one shoe for each person outside our cabin. Santa came in the night to fill our shoes with goodies! That was only one of our fun activities. See photo,
