    Great but we wish we controlled the weather😀

    Berlin – Copenhagen

    It really was an excellent tour. Between the GPS file and the maps, navigation was pretty easy. Despite having to back track once for a total of 5 Kms, the cycling was straight forward, the scenery varied and pretty with so many flowers in bloom.

    Generally, distances were good but our longest day, the last, 90 plus kms, had the most things to stop and see and we missed out on a couple castles etc. This after already taking the shorter less scenic route. Rødvig to Copenhagen, in our opinion needs rethinking.

    We used the company’s standard touring bikes. We are both in our late 60’s and we found them reliable and rolled along at a 20 kph pace very nicely.

    Hotels were all good, however, location choice were not always great. For instances, Stege the hotel was 6 kilometres past the town in the middle of an area of no services, costing riders 12 extra kms. Also the hotel in Copenhagen was a 50 minute ride from the time you entered the city to the far side of the city. This again was our longest riding day, and though it was relatively easy city riding, the time constraint of the day was a little frustrating (8 am start-7 pm finish at hotel).

    We would highly recommend this tour and loved the city of Rostock, hotel at the brick factory, loads of history and farming, and seeing so many small towns along the way. In addition, you have the option to go off course and discover even more cool areas with limited extra distance.

    Danube May 26

    Danube Cycle Path Passau – Budapest

    Personally I rarely do reviews. This one is one where I couldn’t wait for an opportunity to thank this group for providing myself and my wingman with the best ride of my life. I’ve done a lot of touring. Distance wise this is shorter than most I have done however the tour itinerary provided me with more great memories and fun riding days than any other. To sum it up my expectations were completely exceeded at every level.

    A beautiful part of Germany!

    Dedicated cycling paths and the boat/hotel moves along as you cycle! A relaxed cycling day with stops along the way to explore a castle, village or garden.

    It was epic!

    Danube Bike Path 8 Nights (Upscale Lodging)

    What a wonderful way to see Austria! We thoroughly enjoyed the changing vistas, the quiet villages, the charming cafes and restaurants, and the upscale lodging!
    The bikes provided were of high quality and the navigation was clear.
    I had chosen a standard bike as I was informed that the tour was mostly flat or downhill. However, I found terrain ti be up and down, some days with an elevation of 600m. This should be mentioned in the tour description.
    Overall it was a great experience and we highly recommend this way of exploring Europe!

    Delightful Doesn't Begin to Describe It! Incredible scenery, history, and perfect amount of riding

    Danube Delights: Biking through Four Countries

    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.

    Berlin to Copenhagen interesting and okay

    Berlin – Copenhagen

    This tour could have been so much better if we had better bikes that were better maintained. Additionally, we had to convert all the gpx files to Ride with GPS ourselves. The routes were good but it would have been nice if more places to stop and eat or grab something were indicated along the way. Also more things to see should have been available. The books and maps were cumbersome.

    Amazing! You have to book this trip!

    Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)

    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!

    Beautiful Landscapes

    Danube Delights: Biking through Four Countries

    We had a lot of fun on the e-bikes. It was a fantastic way to see the countryside. The boat was not luxurious, but would be considered adequate. We did not like the Cruise Director. He was more interested in being right about things than he was in pleasing his guests.

    Absolutely beautiful bike tour!

    Prague to Dresden Along the Vltava & Elbe Rivers

    The scenery was incredible! Some many great stops along the way. Highlights during the ride were the Bastsii bridge, Terezin, and hiking in Bad Shandoh. Every city were we lodged was cute and unique. The route was great, almost all on bike paths.

    First experience riding bikes in Europe was really cool!

    Lake Constance Classic (11-nights)

    We rode without a guide aided by Google maps. The map files you provided didn't work for me! Google maps did an adequate job and I always felt comfortable relying on it! We truly enjoyed the ride, the hotel stays, and the map book was a great reference to have available!
