Too many unexpected highlights to list. Budapest dinner cruise and Prague experiences will not be easily forgotten. Overall, a packed itinerary, providing excellent value for money. Our tour almost appeared to be 'jinxed' in many ways, but Kev our tour guide was thoroughly professional and dedicated to ensuring that none of the minor issues affected our experience. He went out of his way time and time again to give us an amazing 14 day experience.
What a great way to see the beautiful world along the Danube! We had the best time. The e-bikes provided were so easy to ride. The time on the boat was fun and the food was top notch!! The crew were very helpful and kind. We highly recommend this trip!!!
A relaxing diversion, with interesting things to see on the way My wife has been keen on a trip through vienna for a while. We chose the passau to vienna trip as other reviewers rated it higher than the similar vienna to Budapest. Both follow the danube. The best thing about this trip is that being relatively gentle paced it allows time to visit places on the way, which is really the whole point. We saw a WW II concentration camp (utterly horrific) , visited a trappist monastery and tasted their beer and spirits, saw an awful lot of other churches, monasteries and gardens. The whole cycling route is dotted with pleasant cafes. The route plan recommends good restaurants and we were not disappointed. Austria is accustomed to vegetarian and vegan diets. The palaces and museums of vienna are spectacular, the kaisers crypt is worth a visit. We recommend a great veggie restaurant in vienna called Tian. The guide notes are very simple but in a good way. I recommend having a phone with Google maps or similar when you get to the cities though... Much easier to navigate the busy streets. The bikes on hire are a good standard, though we like to bring our own saddles and pedals.We took the option of an extra few days in vienna, I knocked a star off because the information on this part was not so well organised. We were given turn by turn instructions but no accompanying map and there was some confusion about whether we were supposed to have a vienna pass. (this would have saved us a lot of money it turned out later)
