Austria Self-Guided Tours and Trips

Overall our cycle trip was a great experience. The pre-departure briefing was a little disorganised but everything along the way worked out well. The hotel in Trento was a real highlight accommodation-wise. The cycling paths are in excellent condition. The mapping app worked well. Overall we had a great time despite 2 days of rain.

Highly recommend this cycling trip. The hotels were all of a high quality and the cycling easy except for 2 spots where we had to cycle up steep hills to get to our hotel.

Beautiful bike ride along the Danube. The trails are well maintained, well marked and easy to ride. They provided us with everything we needed, booked great hotels and our bags magically appeared at each hotel at the end of the day. We will definitely use them for future trips!

1. The Wachau Valley was the highlight. 2. Finding the correct bus route to pick up the bikes on the first evening was a bit of a challenge. 3. The GPX worked so well letting us know within 50 yards that we were off the suggested trail. 4. While St. Agatha was beautiful and the lodging comfortable; contacting the pickup and waiting for a couple of hours was not our favorite way to end a rainy biking day. 5. Had we realized several hotels were not in walking distance to restaurants, we would have purchased the evening meal plan. 6. The days were filled with a variety of beautiful changing scenery while riding the entire week along the Danube — good trip.

Did this trip in September 2025 and had the best time. Would recommend a baseline fitness level where you're comfortable with extended cardio because there's a fair bit of uphill-ness. Just a heads-up one of the mountain cabins was shared bunk room and no showers if that's really not your thing (the other hut is amazing though and the views from both are incredible). Generally amazing hikes and views and seamless transport of our big luggage to accommodation.

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.
