Is this trip right for you?
verified
Just as a heads up before you book: this trip is new to our range this year. And while we have thoroughly researched every detail of the logistics, new destinations can sometimes throw us some unexpected surprises. More often than not, it’ll be a great surprise. But every now and again there might be a hiccup. We like to think that’s what puts the ‘adventure’ in ‘adventure travel’.
verified
To complete this trip it is important that you are both confident and competent in riding a bicycle.
verified
On this trip we have a single leader that rides with the group, and another that drives the support vehicle (acting as a back marker where needed). Where the vehicle cannot travel directly with the cyclists (e.g. a cyclists-only path) your leader will assign a person from the group to act as a back marker.
verified
As our riding is done mostly on sealed roads and – along the Danube River – dedicated bike paths with the occasional gravel section, there are no technical cycling skills required.
verified
There’s the possibility of a few hiccups along the way – a puncture here and there maybe – but there’s no doubt this is an incredibly rewarding adventure.
verified
As there are potholes and cobblestones in many European cities, it's recommended that you leave any wheelie bags/cases at home and bring a backpack instead. As this is an eight-day trip, a large backpack should be enough to carry all of your belongings.
verified
As accommodation on this trip is twin-share, solo travellers will share a room with other travellers of the same gender. Please note that a single supplement is available on this trip. Space is at a premium in Europe and your hotel is no exception. Rooms are often small, but usually the central location makes up for that. For those travelling as a duo, hotels in Europe often don't have double beds, but rather two single beds that can be pushed together. In some cases, bathroom facilities will be shared rather than ensuite.

Our 2 week cycle trip Prague-Vienna-Budapest was a great adventures our tour leaders and drivers were excellent, knowledgeable and caring. It was nice that at the half way point Vienna there was not a complete change of leader/driver with Tomi continuing on the second leg swapping from leader to driver. Everyone very much enjoyed the cycling, a new adventure every day, and
the group dinners out without exception great choices.
Overall a fantastic holiday

We enjoyed our two week trip from Prague to Vienna to Budapest so much, and you will too! We met fun, active people from all over the globe that shared our love of traveling by bicycle. Tomi & Andro took good care of us and showed us a beautiful region of the world. We enjoyed every minute and cannot wait to plan another trip!

We wanted a different kind of holiday where we would be active, meet great people and get an authentic experience in countries we hadn’t been before. Our expectations were high at the start and exceeded by the end!

This is a fabulous bike trip with some nice activities included. There are some long days in the saddle so prepare before you start. If you’re unsure of your ability rent the e-bike. The scenery is varied as are the riding surfaces. Great stops along the way. Focus is on biking and the longer travel days may not leave a lot of time for sightseeing in some places. I can’t say enough about our leader Sasa and driver Andro. They were 5 star. Super oraganized and flexible.

So fun. I highly recommend. I was worried about traveling alone. Once I found the group I felt so safe. Highly recommend. Start packing now if you can.
