About Danube Bike Tours

The Danube Cycle Path is one of Europe’s most iconic long-distance cycling routes, offering cyclists an unforgettable journey along the banks of the majestic Danube River.

Stretching from Passau in Germany to Vienna, the Austrian section of this trail spans approximately 300 kilometers and is renowned for its natural beautycultural richness, and accessibility.

Following the winding route of Europe’s second-longest river includes many notable stops, like the lively town of Linz, the capital of Upper Austria, and EnnsAustria’s oldest town.

One of the main highlights is the stunning Wachau Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the river winds through a landscape of vineyardsmedieval castles, and quaint villages.

Beyond Vienna, the cycling path continues toward Bratislava and Budapest. This section offers a mix of cultural highlights and tranquil landscapes, connecting three vibrant capital cities and capturing the essence of Central Europe.

The Danube Cycling Path is known for its predominantly flat terrain and well-paved tracks. Families, leisure riders, and long-distance enthusiasts will appreciate the marked signs and dedicated cycling lanes.

This tour met and exceeded our expectations. It was certainly challenging cycling for seniors but most of us did it all seven days. Scenery and culture of the islands was glorious. Guide and crew was superb!

We had a wonderful tour of Greece on bikes. All of the hotels and towns were unique and wonderful, the rides were a reasonable length for my wife and we had a great time on our own without guides. Thank you very much and I would do the exact trip again.

Our one week tour of Slovenia with these 3 young local guides surpassed all expectations! We travelled from Bled through the Sovenian Alps all the way to to coastal seaside Piran, through villages , on backroads ….it felt like riding through a story book….a delightful surprise around every turn . Our guides took care of our every need: charming accommodations, snacks every day at fantastic off beat locations, mid-ride. We covered 250 km over 5 riding days. The one day we were rained out, they quickly pivoted, and we were able to visit a wonderful historical national museum, which informed us so much in terms of the history in the Soča valley…So the day became not a write off but an educational experience! It was quite special to know the history of the Soča valley as we journeyed through the region, seeing the incredible geographical diversity of this beautiful country on excellent quality e-bikes. Highly recommend! Trip of a lifetime ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First class company with a well planned route, great accommodation and simply outstanding support in time of trouble. We did a two week ride from Bled to Pula in September 2023. Fair to say we hit a lot of problems courtesy of BA with rescheduled and diverted flights, lost bags, problems with our own bikes, returning rental bikes and more. Daja was simply amazing in helping us sort all of them out and was so accessible at all hours. She even managed to source and buy a forgotten Thru-axle and deliver it personally to our hotel, which is far and above any service i would reasonably expect. Thank you !! Our accommodation was fantastic and far better than expected in all but one location. The route planning in Slovenia was great but due to our decision to bring road bikes from the UK and the nature of the roads in Croatia, our second week was a bit tricky route wise and it would have been good to have had a discussion about this section beforehand. A Gravel bike is far better suited to Croatia although this was our decision to bring road bikes. Transport arrangement and logistics were flawless. Overall, i would change very little and we will definitely be returning to Slovenia. Daja was fantastic and I absolutely recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays and will be using their services again.

Top Company, Top Tour ! We did the 7 days tour (from Alps to Adriatic), from Bled to Piran in august 2024 ! It was the best tour made in years. Amazing landscapes and nature, great accommodations and food and perfectly organised. Daja did really a perfect job ! she was allways available for questions or suggestions ! I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Had a ball! We rode from Ljubljana to Bled via the mountains - 5 days/4 nights. Daja did a great job communicating with us and ironing out any hitches as soon as they were identified. E-Bikes were great (and v necessary!), accomm was great and the scenery was extraordinary! Being less fit, I wished I had opted for a days’ break at Lake Bohinj. My legs and butt would have appreciated it. Can’t wait to return and do another riding tour with this company!
