Wachau is Wow!! - Fantastic cycle trip through the stunning Wachau Valley — it's a beautiful way to explore the countryside and learn about the generations of wine culture and production. Our guide Tomas was excellent! We visited two family-owned wineries and the tastings were generous and informative. We enjoyed a beautiful lunch and met people from around the globe. Great value for money. Highly recommend!

Excellent day trip to the Wachau Valley - Fantastic day in the Wachau Valley! We enjoyed exploring various areas of the valley tasting different wines and visiting several towns. Durnstein was a hidden gem and the restaurant (Dürnsteinerhof) was delicious! Highly recommended.

Very enjoyable wine tasting bike tour - This turned out to be a very relaxing and enjoyable biking wine tour.
We met at the tour office in Vienna then took the train out to Krems where we got onto the bikes. We had a fantastic ride along the river in the countryside and enjoyed the views along the way. We had a nice wine tasting followed by a bit more bike riding to the little town of Durnstein where we got to enjoy the town and have lunch. We biked to another winery across the river (which we crossed via a small engineless ferry) and followed it all up with more biking in the beautiful countryside to reverse our trip to Vienna. Our guide was Ruben and even though it was his second time to lead the tour, he did an outstanding job! The bikes were well maintained and had no mechanical issues.
I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Book it! Good fun, great way to see some beautiful scenery close to Vienna - Because it was a cycling tour it attracted a young, likeminded group. Our tourguide was very charming, friendly and accommodating. It all went very smoothly and I highly recommend it!
