Austria Bike and Boat Tours

“A bike-and-boat tour is truly the perfect way to experience the beautiful Danube! Our barge, The Vivienne, was spectacular, and the crew and guides were absolutely wonderful throughout the trip.

We cycled mainly along flat, scenic bike paths, making it easy to relax, enjoy the views, and take in the beautiful surrounding countryside. Each day brought something new, from charming towns and stunning landscapes to fascinating castle ruins and historic sites.

What made the experience even more special was learning about the region’s rich and fascinating history from our incredibly knowledgeable guides. Their stories and insights brought the places we visited to life and made every day feel like an adventure.
The combination of cycling during the day and returning to the comfort of The Vivienne in the evening was fantastic. It was the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, beautiful scenery, and history.

An unforgettable way to explore the Danube — we absolutely loved every moment!” Less

“This is my second tour through biketours.com, and it was incredible. I've never done a bike and boat tour, but I would absolutely do it again. It was wonderful to unpack and have the same room to come back to every day. We did May 17-24th 2026, and the weather was outstanding; sunny and 75 degrees. I loved the format of the itinerary as we would ride in the country and alternate with visting a city the next day. The amount of architecture and history you will see in one week is truly breathtaking. Cycling through the Austrian countryside, particularly Wachau, was dreamy as well. I highly recommend this tour on e-bike if you want to have a more relaxing time, but the Danube cycle path is very flat and easy for regular bikes too. One of the highlights was seeing a classical music concert at Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna. Wow, wow, wow! Food on the ship was good, and the tour guide's daily brief and visual slides before the ride were excellent. They have an app called Guibo that provides very good GPS navigation of the route with particular stops of interest marked.” Less

“Our first bike and boat trip but won't be our last. What a great way to experience both the typical travel destinations and some of the beautiful countryside and small villages in between them. The crew and cruise director were so friendly and welcoming. We had very comfortable accommodations and got to meet so many other like-minded travelers.” Less
