As someone who doesn’t even cycle to the shops, I was amazed at how much I enjoyed this trip! The Danube Cycle Path was flat, scenic, and dotted with bakeries where I overindulged. Thanks to the clear maps, I never got lost, even with my questionable sense of direction. Reaching Vienna felt like a real achievement—celebrating with a huge plate of schnitzel was the perfect end.

I can’t believe how much I packed into a week! Cycling along the Danube felt like stepping into a storybook, with castles perched on cliffs and vineyards stretching endlessly. David at Rooster Bike Tours helped tweak my itinerary so I could visit extra wineries—great shout, by the way! Ending the day in cozy guesthouses with a hearty Austrian meal was the icing on the cake. I’ll be back for another route soon.

I was nervous about going solo, but the Danube Cycle Path made me feel safe the entire way. Cycling through the Wachau Valley was pure bliss, with rows of sunlit vineyards and the smell of apricots in the air. The best moment? A surprise wine-tasting detour in Dürnstein—I couldn’t resist! Tom from Rooster Bike Tours gave me excellent tips on what to see. If you’re even slightly adventurous, this trip is a must.

The highlight for me was cycling through the quiet stretches by the river at sunrise—just me, the bike, and the sound of water. It was peaceful and magical. Rooster’s organization meant I could focus on enjoying the journey without a care.

Rooster Bike Tours made it so easy for my family of four. My kids were thrilled by the ferry crossings, and I loved how many ice cream stops we made along the way!

This was the perfect family bonding experience—our kids are already asking when we can do another!

I never thought I’d enjoy cycling so much. My partner and I took this trip for a change of pace, and it delivered. We laughed at how many pastries we ate “for energy” but still managed to reach Vienna on schedule.

The Danube has always been on my bucket list, and this tour delivered in spades. From the baroque grandeur of Melk Abbey to quirky local festivals we stumbled upon, every day brought something new. Ciara even helped arrange a surprise upgrade for my partner’s birthday night—a riverside room with champagne. Now that’s service!

This wasn’t just a bike ride—it was a journey through history, culture, and some of the best pastries I’ve ever eaten. Cycling into Vienna with its majestic skyline was unforgettable. David from Rooster Bike Tours deserves a medal for answering my endless questions with patience and humor. Each day felt rewarding, and there was enough variety to keep it interesting, from castles to quiet forest trails. A fantastic way to see Austria!

I wasn’t sure I could handle a week of cycling, but the Danube Cycle Path proved me wrong. Flat, scenic, and dotted with cafés serving cakes bigger than my head—it was heaven! Already planning my next bike tour.

I loved the mix of history and nature. One day I was exploring ancient abbeys, the next I was cruising through quiet forests. Tom’s advice to spend extra time in Krems was spot on—great wine and even better vibes.

Cycling alongside the Danube River felt like meditation. The route was easy enough for me, a casual cyclist, but never boring. I loved stopping at tiny villages and indulging in local food—strudel and schnitzel galore! Tom ensured my trip was stress-free.

We booked this on a whim, and it turned out to be the best decision ever. My partner loved the castles; I loved the bakeries. The Danube Cycle Path had something for everyone, and we’re already recommending it to friends!

I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with Austria, but this trip did it for me. Each day felt like an adventure—cycling past castles, stopping for wine in Wachau, and discovering hidden riverside cafés. Ciara at Rooster Bike Tours made the whole process so simple, from bike fittings to luggage transfers. Vienna was a spectacular ending point, but honestly, I wish the trip had lasted longer. Already planning next year’s route with Rooster!

The Danube Cycle Path was a revelation. I didn’t expect to be so blown away by the mix of landscapes, from lush valleys to medieval towns. The ferry ride across the river was a fun break in the ride!

What a week! As a semi-experienced cyclist, I found the Danube Cycle Path just the right balance of leisurely and challenging. The Wachau Valley was my favorite—cycling through vineyards with the scent of fresh apricots in the air was unreal. Tom was amazing, offering insider tips that made the journey extra special. The accommodations were quaint yet comfortable, and the luggage transfer system was flawless. I’ll definitely be returning for another adventure with Rooster Bike Tours!

I joined this tour as a beginner cyclist and wasn’t sure what to expect. To my surprise, it was easier than I imagined, and incredibly rewarding. Ciara’s patience when explaining the route options was so appreciated—I felt confident from day one. Highlights for me included ferry crossings and the incredible views from Melk Abbey. Plus, I ate enough strudel to last me a lifetime! This trip made me fall in love with cycling, and I’ll be back for more.

Cycling through Austria was like living in a postcard. The castles, riverside villages, and lush green fields were breathtaking. I loved how well-maintained the paths were, and the small-town bakeries were a delightful bonus. A truly unforgettable adventure!

My parents and I decided to try something new, and this bike tour was a hit! Rooster Bike Tours took care of all the logistics, making it stress-free for us. The Danube Cycle Path’s gentle terrain was ideal for my dad, who hadn’t cycled in years. We bonded over coffee breaks in riverside towns and took hundreds of photos of the stunning scenery. It was the perfect blend of activity and relaxation—just what we needed.

This tour completely changed how I see travel. Instead of rushing from city to city, cycling allowed me to soak in the countryside, wave to locals, and discover hidden gems. David suggested a detour to a tiny village pub, where I ended up chatting with the locals and sampling some homemade schnapps. That moment alone made the trip unforgettable. The Danube Cycle Path is well-marked, safe, and absolutely beautiful. Don’t hesitate—just book it!

The Danube Cycle Path was breathtaking, and most of the logistics were handled well by Rooster Bike Tours. However, one of our hotels didn’t seem prepared for our arrival, which delayed check-in after a long day of cycling. It wasn’t a dealbreaker, but it threw off our evening plans a bit. That said, the rest of the trip went smoothly, and the bikes provided were fantastic.

This was a great trip overall, but there were a couple of hiccups. On one stretch, the route instructions weren’t entirely clear, and I ended up taking a wrong turn that added an extra 5 km to my day. It wasn’t a huge issue, but after a long day, it was a bit frustrating. The scenery along the Danube more than made up for it, and Tom at Rooster Bike Tours was quick to respond when I contacted him for clarification.

This was a mostly great experience, but I wish the hotels had been more consistent. Most were charming and clean, but one felt quite dated, with an uncomfortable bed that left me sore for the next day’s ride. David from Rooster Bike Tours was understanding when I mentioned it and said they’d look into replacing that accommodation for future tours. Despite that, the Danube Cycle Path was beautiful, and the cycling itself was a joy.

Cycling the Danube Cycle Path was a once in a lifetime experience, and Rooster Bike Tours made the logistics easy. The accommodations were great. However, one of the bikes provided had a faulty gear that started acting up halfway through the trip. While the support team was quick to deliver a replacement, it disrupted part of my afternoon ride. Despite this inconvenience, the rest of the trip was fantastic. I particularly loved cycling through the Wachau Valley and stopping for wine tastings and apricot treats. Rooster’s attention to detail was evident, even if a bit more thorough bike checks would’ve been appreciated. I’d still recommend this tour wholeheartedly!
