Amazing experience! - Amazing experience!! Had the best time with my guide, Szana. She was very knowledgeable, informative, and so fun, it was like hanging out with a friend. We stopped at two wineries, both unique and great in their own way, along with a village where I hiked up to the monument. Breathtaking views. I did this at the end of October with the most incredible fall colors. The weather was lovely and sunny, a full sleeve shirt was enough for the most part.
Tip - carry more cash than you think you’d need (although, again, Szana was amazing in helping to navigate this). I would do this again and I would highly recommend Szana! She also gave me other cool tips for my visit.

Fantastic day biking in rural Austrian wine valley - Wonderful tour of the Wachau wine valley—very well organized with ride on train to Krems where we picked up our bikes. The biking is easy on paved cycle paths mostly. The scenery was magnificent with changing fall colors. Our guide Reagan was very knowledgeable about the area and its history as well as the wine. This was a great way to spend the entire day out in the countryside and experience a bit of rural Austria just outside of Vienna.

Absolutely fantastic bike tour with wine tasting and a wonderful guide. - We had an amazing bike tour with wine tasting. The tour was excellently organized and our guide Reegan was absolutely wonderful. He explained so much to us, was always incredibly helpful, and made sure the whole group was having a great time. We were also lucky to have beautiful, sunny weather, which made the experience even better. The bikes and helmets were in perfect condition. We really enjoyed the tour and can highly recommend it to everyone. Thank you for this fantastic experience :-)

Great day trip from Vienna - It was a lovely tour and a great day getting out and exploring outside of Vienna. Reegan is an excellent tour guide- personable and keeps the pace moving. It is all day bike riding so would not recommend if you haven't rode a bike before. The vineyards were great and especially liked Max’s vineyard. Opportunity to buy wines and bring them back with you. The vineyards and Wachau Valley are beautiful! It was about an 11 hr day for us including train rides. All you need to do is show up a little before your start time at Vienna Explorer to start.

Get out of the city and see where the wine is made! - Fantastic and well run tour of the countryside. Beautiful scenery, excellent wines, bucolic towns, and a hearty lunch in an adorable village. This is a must do in Vienna to get out into the valley where the wine is made. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the region and wineries. Getting out to see this area on the bike is the best way to see the valley.

Amazing Trip - This was one of the best guided tours I’ve done. Besides the scenery and landscape, the day is jam packed. We took a train to the Wachau Valley and then ride bikes around the area for close to 7 hours. We stopped at two picturesque wineries, that had excellent wine and stopped in a small town for lunch. Our tour guide was really personable, knowledgeable and patient with everyone. Highly recommend!
