Fabulous and easy even for non cyclists (hire an e-bike though). Trip notes of 30 pages long were not all that helpful and needs to include a simple list of toilets stops, cafes and key sights. It’s easy to use the phone app and also work out which side of the river you should be on.
Overall excellent.
A very enjoyable and scenic ride along the Danube River. With idyllic views along the way and the Wachau region stood out as a real highlight.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long cycle along the Danube from Passau to Vienna. The bikes were excellent and we had no issues along the way. We enjoyed the changing landscape and cycling through villages, agricultural areas, vineyards as well as along the river. Several of the days were longer than 60kms, due to where our accommodation was located. All in all, an excellent trip and holiday!
Another fun adventure on the Blue Danube Comfort Cycle. My wife Kandi and I set out on April 26 for a 6 day ride rated 2 Star for difficulty. Despite one showery day and another into a nasty headwind for 50 km, ??, it was as advertised: spectacularly beautiful along the Danube from Passau, Germany to Vienna, Austria. Great stops along the way included Linz, Grein, Melk*, Krems and then Vienna. This was our second ‘self guided’ trip with them and we really enjoy the flexibility of deciding when and where we go in between towns. Having said that, we met up with some great people also from Canada, Australia and Switzerland. Would have rated it 4.5 Stars if possible. Only bumps include a bike pickup location far from our hotel in Passau and in the town of Melk* we were actually on the other side of the river in Emmersdorf. Cute town, but Melk looked more interesting. All good. Our ‘standard’ Hotels were all great and all of the breakfasts top quality. 2 for 2! We are already scouting out routes for our next trip.
