No whining, just wining - 10/10 recommend! Beautiful ride through the countryside with SO much delicious wine along the way. Tim's passion for wine was contagious and he made for good conversation. We stopped in a quaint medieval town for lunch, which was the icing on the cake. Cannot recommend enough.
While we recreationally bike, anyone could do this bike ride. It's a little on the longer side but mostly flat terrain and the bikes they supply allow for an easy ride.

Beautiful day cycling through the valley - We had an absolutely amazing time on the wine tasting bike tour in the Wachau Valley. It’s such a unique and scenic way to experience the wine country, cycling through vineyards, charming villages, and along the river was breathtaking. The wines we tasted were fantastic, and our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The ride itself isn’t technical, but it does cover a fair distance, so some cycling experience is helpful. All in all, it was a perfect day out .

Trip highlight! - This is the most magical day! Cycling through fairytale villages, along the danube, surrounded by mountains - add in some delicious white whine, charming winemakers and a lovely guide and it’s simply perfection. The trip was impeccably planned and executed.

Memorable girls-trip - We were a group of six girls traveling together (and in our tour group was four really nice americans as well). The trip was amazing from start to finish, very much thanks to our guide Felipe, even though it was only his fourth or fifth tour by bikes. The scenery, wine-tastings and information about the different places and wines was memorable. There was no stress and the pace was suitable for everyone in the group. Recommend this tour for most people, and you would be lucky to have the guide we had!

Amazing tour through the beautiful Wachau valley - It was an amazing tour through the beautiful Wachau valley. We stopped at 2 wine producers, both totally original and make brilliant wine, as well as being great story tellers! A really special day. Our guide, Nicolas, was also really great and made the whole day even better.

Good but can be better - The trip was fantastic and the route was fabulous. However, it was not clear how long the trip would take and the drop out point at the station was not properly arranged.
