Lovely trip
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
“This was a lovely way to see various small cities along the beautiful scenery of the Danube River. The hotels were all so unique and had such character of their own. The e-bikes were perfect.”

“This was my first time taking a bike trip and it was magical! I would recommend this to everyone! We started our 7 day self guided bike tour in Germany (Passau) and ended in Austria (Vienna) but I can’t wait to do this trip in other countries! The self guided tour was easy to use, had great recommendations, and the hotels were amazing! What an adventure we had! As someone who doesn’t really cycle, I was worried I couldn’t do it, but since I got the hybrid bike it wasn’t too hard at all (I know that’s cheating but it was worth it), my husband got a regular bike and that worked great too! One of our cyclists on our trip needed a bike repair and it was resolved right away. Communication was great, received quick responses, friendly service and everyone was super helpful. What I loved is that we go at our own pace, got to enjoy some areas longer than others and didn’t feel rushed at all. I also loved that I didn’t need to lug my suitcase around and that it was always waiting for me at the hotel upon arrival. I was very impressed with this trip and am already planning my next one. I can’t recommend this bike tour enough seriously! Book today!” Less

Beautiful scenery, fabulous hotel, good routes
Bicycle Paths of the Dolomites (based in one hotel)
“It was a self-guided tour with residential stay at Belleview Hotel in Dobbiaco. Hotel boasts fantastic views and fine cuisine dining. Everyone was extremely helpful and welcoming.” Full Review
“It was a self-guided tour with residential stay at Belleview Hotel in Dobbiaco. Hotel boasts fantastic views and fine cuisine dining. Everyone was extremely helpful and welcoming. The routes were well-thought through, with a minibus taking us there or back on some days (saving the need to cycle uphill). Really enjoyed the scenery and the culture. The company app was a great help on finding the way too! The only thing that we were not absolutely happy about were the loose gravel tracks which at times were slippery and not safe for a less experienced cyclist - but the most of routes run (at least partially) on paved paths and are a joy to ride.” Less
