I had the most amazing experience and time of my life on this tour. Choosing G Adventures and the 'Gotta-See Europe: Germany, Austria and Italy' tour was one of the best decisions of my life. Our tour CEO Filip was incredibly enthusiastic and responsible, and he created the most fun and positive environment. The whole tour was incredibly well organised and I always felt safe, happy and relaxed knowing that someone else was taking care of the tour group. I was very fortunate to have such amazing people on my tour. We were able to bond so quickly as we all shared our love and enthusiasm for travel and these specific places. Every place we went to was so beautiful, rich of history and culture and truly unique. The included activities were so much and full of variety as we relaxed in lakes, went on bike rides, visited museums and much more. This tour was the perfect blend of free time and included activities. Through this I was able to not only have an extremely joyful and relaxing vacation but it also enabled me to achieve so many things including improving my skills for travelling without feeling the stress of having to figure this out alone in a foreign continent and on the other side of the world. I definitely recommend this tour, especially to young, solo and inexperienced travelers but really to anyone who has a passion for travel and who is open to meeting new people and trying new experiences.

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.

Connect two of Europe’s most stately capital cities as we trace the course of the Danube River through Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary. From untamed wetlands to manicured vineyards and from vast, farm-covered plains to narrow, history-steeped city streets, this immersive bike tour offers a fresh perspective on life along the Danube. We discover some of the region’s most iconic heritage sites, wine & dine at local eateries, and spend our nights at cozy hotels.
Meeting in Vienna, the adventure begins with a ride south through the Danube Floodplain National Park to reach the small, bustling Slovakian capital of Bratislava. Here we spend two nights in a unique “botel” right on the river, explore the city by bike, and indulge in a wine tasting. We then journey across the Transdanubian plains and rolling hills of western Hungary, immersing ourselves in the rustic countryside. We also explore charming Hungarian cities such as Győr, known for its enchanting baroque town square, and Esztergom, home to the country's grandest Catholic basilica. On our final cycling day we ride the Danube’s "Great Bend” to reach Budapest where we end our tour amongst the city’s glittering landmarks.
Join us on this beautiful three-country ride in the heart of Europe!
Combine this tour with “Cycling Prague to Vienna to” and make it a 16 day Central European rhapsody! Departure dates are aligned to give you some time to explore Vienna before beginning the journey to Budapest. Click here to see the tour details.

It was one of the best trips that I ever had. It was a great experience from Paris all the way to Bruges (I did not go back to Paris). I saw 11 countries in 26 days, and it was surreal. I met some of the best people on this trip and now they are my lifelong friends. I had 2 excellent CEOs. I saw and experienced so many European countries in terms of their cultures, food and landscapes. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. It was well worth the money and the time. I thoroughly enjoyed it in every way!
