You need to arrive early to get your bike as it starts promptly. It takes you through busy parts of Vienna and we saw areas we would not have seen otherwise. Well worth it.

The tour was extensive throughout Vienna. We travelled some busy areas but all managed to cross intersections safely and stayed together - thanks to our guide. Periodic stops for explanations of sites was appreciated. Our guide was great and knowledgeable. We even traveled to "beaches" within Vienna that offered another perspective to the city. Ear phones would be helpful to hear the guide better along the route, but she did her best to engage each rider.

It claims "small group". In fact there might be up to 15+ people in your group. The tour guides are rushed and not very informative. Would not recommend this to anyone.
This tour was fantastic! Peter, our guide, was amazing! It was nice to have a small group (only 10 people including my partner and I), which made it much more enjoyable. This bike tour takes you all over Vienna and Peter gave us a great commentary on every place we visited! Highly recommend!

15 minutes late due to late arriving people, then had yong kids, who were give no briefing or just didn’t listen and the mother just let her son loose, he was a hazard to all, risking himself in traffic, constantly blocking opposing bike lane, made the trip stressful as you had to keep watching out for him….. don’t do it with kids if possible, size of group boarded on being too large as constant splits in peak traffic caused delays and blockages when stopped. Tour guide herself was great as was the tour and bikes were fantastic.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the guide, the bikes, and the overall tour route. We’re sorry that parts of the experience felt stressful and appreciate you highlighting these concerns.

I went on this ride with two friends, my partner was ill and didn’t attend, if she had attended this would have made the group 16 in total which is not a small group. That aside the tour guide was great and the cycle enjoyable, didn’t learn too much as hard to hear, but chatted to other cyclists who were friendly. Quite challenging ride at times as a fair distance travelled although mainly flat throughout,. Bikes were an enjoyable ride .
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the ride and found the group atmosphere friendly. We also appreciate your comments about the guiding and will take this into account.

Our guide Eve was friendly and endearing and made for a great trip which lived up to all our expectations. I have given the trip a bad rating for only one reason. Participants are required to sign an onerous waiver of liability and indemnity form which is burdensome, is possibly a breach of your travel insurance policy and has no rightful place. I suggest you should ask for and carefully read a copy before deciding to pay.
Thank you for your feedback! We're very happy to hear you enjoyed the trip and that Eva made it such a positive experience. We also appreciate you raising your concerns regarding the waiver, and we have already passed this on to management to review it.

What a lovely and friendly company! We’d highly recommend this tour, with these people. Nothing was too much bother, the ride was the perfect pace and it showed us all the highlights we wanted to see (and some we had no idea about). Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!

Extended tour with in depth information by historian guide. Normal bike with gears does the job ok as it's nearly flat. Recommended!

Lovely day spent with Ava and 3 other guests. I had done a walking tour of the city previously but learnt more from Ava who spoke clearly and with more interesting information. She was v engaging and inclusive when making decisions about what to cover. We spent the last part in the local forest area which was a lovely break from the urban side of the city
Thank you for joining us! We're delighted to hear that your experience was engaging and informative, and that you enjoyed both the city highlights and the peaceful natural surroundings.
