  • Vienna to Budapest
    (4/5) Steve Chodat 11 months ago

    A "watered-down" cycling trip

    · Vienna to Budapest (Classic)

    No fault of your operator, we arrived in Vienna in midst of Storm Boris, and historic Danube flooding. While the tour operator did great job trying to accomodate for ever changing conditions, we only managed to cycle 3 of 6 days... Flooding made sections impassable, including last couple days. What we did see while cycling was not particularly scenic. And I'd heard that the Vienna/Budapest ride was not the best of sections to ride along the Danube, but my experience was limited. Bratislava was definitely worth a stay over and Budapest is a city we enjoyed very much throughout our extended stay (5 nights).

    Fabulous trip!

    · · Danube Delights: Biking through Four Countries

    What a great way to visit four countries and bike through the lovely countryside. We chose to follow the map on the app ourselves and not have a guide which worked perfectly for us as it gave us more freedom to set our own schedule. We thoroughly enjoyed Leslie, our cruise director, who was full of energy and made each person feel special. The electric bikes were great quality and the crew did all the work moving them on and off the boat for our rides. This is a great introduction for us to the bike and boat world!

    It's so nice to be pampered and set up for success on an adventure that includes zero daily packing/unpacking and great routes on a bike. The meals were way above expectations and the e-bikes were perfect.

    It would be nice if the information about fees for ferries, bus, etc. with the required currencies could be included accurately in the pre-trip materials or the navigation app.

    · · Danube Discovery: Bike and Boat through Enchanting Capitals

    Wow! - what a fantastic experience gliding down the stunning Danube. The itinerary was first class - our bikes were just great while the accommodation, meals & service on the 'Manon' were all excellent. It really was an experience of a lifetime riding adjacent to the Danube on high quality pathways a lot of the time while also exploring some stunning sights along the way including some gorgeous towns.

  • Vienna to Budapest 5-nights
    (3/5) Kitty Brodie July 31, 2024

    Not quite what we expected

    · Vienna to Budapest 5-nights (Active)

    We booked a self-guided 5-day tour from Vienna to Budapest.
    There were a few things that did not sit well with us on the organizational front.
    The tour itself was great once we got started and the cities/hotels en route were great.
    The bike service was great... we had a mechanical issue on Day 1 of riding, and the bike was replaced the next morning.

    Organizationally:
    Confirmation of tour was delayed until the 1 day before the original day of departure.
    When I tried to cancel because we wanted to book something that was confirmed, I was told this was not possible.
    That seemed unfair, when the tour operator has the right to cancel, but not the client.

    The initial orientation meeting on "Day 1" in Vienna did not happen until "Day 2".
    Nothing at all was arranged for "Day 1" other than the hotel in Vienna.

    The 5 day tour turned out to be 5 nights, with the 1st night in Vienna, where we already were staying.
    So not 5 nights on the road, but 5 nights in hotels. Starting on the morning of "Day 2" makes the tour really only a 4 day tour in my opinion.

    The bikes that were brought to us on the morning of "Day 2" were not the right bikes that we had ordered.

    Pick up time for our bags from the hotel was not mentioned in the orientation meeting.
    Consequently, we missed the pickup time on the first hotel and had to pay for a taxi to bring the bags to the next hotel.
    This again seemed unfair.

    Combining biking with boating created a unique experience of physical activity combined with comfort and with a unique social experience. The entire staff was excellent and their attitude was to go out of their way to accommodate our wishes and produce a high quality experience. Starting with the director Leslie, there are not enough words to describe how professional, positive, full of energy and accommodating this quality individual is. He was not alone, all the staff, including the wonderful guides, servers, cleaning staff, entertaining individual , in short the entire team was wonderful. I will certainly sign again for a boat bike trip with your excellent first, rate company and I can’t wait for next year to come back.

    Excellent for the most part. Some issues with the boat. 1) Our cabin air conditioning did not consistently work. 2) We shouldn't have to pay for water at meal time. 3) Our group wasn't allowed to change tables at dinner which is something we would have liked to do since we were a group of 40.
