The route from Passau, on Germany's eastern border, to Vienna is one of the most popular cycle paths in Europe, and it's no wonder! This stretch of the Danube carves its way through a thousand years of history; 60 dramatic castles and palaces lie along the river and the ever-changing landscape is a kaleidoscope of fertile plains, narrow gorges, lowland forests, bird-rich marshland and acres of picturesque vines.

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.

1st time doing a group tour with expat explore and it didn't disappoint. Our tour guide Justin was really good and was very knowledgeable of Prague, Vienna, Slovakia and Budapest. Prague is just an amazing place to visit, I recommend all the optional excursions with the exception of the folklore show. Vienna is a great place, the food is incredible. Bratislava proved to be a charming day tour so don't skip it! Budapest exceeded all expectations and the overall vibe / style reminded me of NYC (in the mid 90's) and very safe. Whatever you do it seems that the heart of the nighlife is right in the Jewish quarter so don't pass on it.
