We had an incredible time with Reegan leading the way. He balanced space for friends to mingle with timely details that added to the trip. Sights were beautiful and wine was immaculate. Great experience.
It was really unique and amazing experience. I was traveling solo and wanted group activity. Also, it was interesting to do sightseeing outside of Vienna. So for this reasons, the tour was perfect choice and great value for the money. Our guide was extremely nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend this tour.
It is the perfect day trip from Vienna. Our guide, Cade, made the day perfect. He was so knowledgeable about the wines and the area.
Beautiful landscapes, good band, excellent guide and I liked white wine for the first time in my life!
this is an amazing tour. we visited 2 wineries in the wachau valley and learned so much about wine making in the region. the bike ride is enjoyable and scenic, definitely a worthwhile experience!

Highly recommend this tour. The Wachau Valley is beautiful and by bike even better. Our Reegan was very knowledgeable about the valley and the vineyards. It was a long day but a ton fun with Reegan and a small group of riders from the: UK, Netherlands, Portugal, Australia & US!

Departure was on time. There was no opportunity to fill or buy water before we boarded the train and one chance before getting on the bikes. Once should be enough but just in case you thought you’d ‘wait’. Don’t. Nicholas was very knowledgeable and each vintner that we met was a charismatic and engaging person. The story of their wines and vineyards is fascinating. The bikes were in tiptop shape and easy to ride. It is an all day event so bring a backpack or small bag with sunscreen and a few snacks . Lunch was good but only 2 choices. If you’re selective or have a dietary need tell the guide and they’ll be sure your needs are met.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for the helpful tips for future guests. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the winery visits, the bike ride, and the stories shared throughout the day. We also appreciate your practical feedback, as it helps others prepare for a great trip. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience soon!

This was truly the highlight of our trip. Biking through the.Wachau valley was absolutely gorgeous. The wine tasting was incredibly fun. We had a lovely lunch in Durnstein and had time to explore the lovely village and also climb to see the ruins where Richard of Lionhart was held captive. I’d recommend doing that for anyone that can do a hike because the views are spectacular. Sonne our guide was incredibly fun and accommodating.

We had a really fun day with Anna. She was very knowledgeable about the Wachau Valley and about the processes and approaches to winemaking that are used there. The sampling was enjoyable and we decided to buy several bottles to bring home, but we were limited by what we could carry! It was great to get out of the city and see the beautiful Wachau Valley after the very hot days we'd had before tour. We visited one small vineyard, then lunch and free time in Durnstein, then one more vineyard, then back to the train and Vienna. The bicycles were very nice and well-maintained. E-bikes are not an option and none of us needed extra help from an e-bike. It IS a bicycle tour, so you should know how to ride a bike and be able to ride for several hours.
Thank you for your detailed and lovely feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the day and had a great time exploring the Wachau Valley, the tastings, and the scenery. It's wonderful to hear the ride and the bikes worked well for you and that you appreciated the balance of activity and free time. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
