Austria · CYCLING TOURS
The Danube path is flat, paved and runs for hundreds of kilometres, which is why most of these start on it. The 9 below compare the city loops with the Wachau day rides, priced with the bike, and noting which are electric.
Cycle Vienna’s grand Ringstraße, historic center, canal, Stadtpark, and Karlskirche with a licensed English, German, or Dutch-speaking guide. The route is mostly flat and uses bike paths and quieter roads. Guides such as Marco, Ute, Horst, Natalie, and Peter are praised for lively stories, local tips, and careful pacing.
“Great! Marco was our guide and he was really fun and passionate in his story!”
Leave Vienna by train for Krems, then cycle about 25 kilometers along the Danube through vineyards, villages, and quiet roads. You’ll taste wines at two local wineries, explore Dürnstein, and have time for lunch or a swim. Guides such as Szana, Tim, Nicolas, and Sina bring local color to the day.
“This tour was one of the best days of our trip so far. We had a great time trying different wines and the views in the valley are gorgeous. Tim, our guide, was great too. We would recommend this to anyone!”
Pedal Power Vienna’s three-hour tour covers central landmarks, parks, bike lanes, and, on some departures, the Danube or Hundertwasser Haus. Guides such as Horst, Lisa Maria, Ute, and Sebastian mix architecture, imperial history, local life, and personal stories. Bikes are included, and routes vary by morning, afternoon, and evening departure.
“We had a great time and our tour guide, Horst, was outstanding! He was very knowledgeable, offered a lot of recommendations, and had a great sense of humor.”
Cycle through central Vienna for three hours with a live guide in English, German, or Dutch. The route links City Hall, Parliament, Hofburg Palace, Heldenplatz, the Opera, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, and the Spanish Riding School. Guides such as Anita, Karin, Marcelo, and Eddy add history, local context, and practical tips. The mostly flat ride suits beginners, though bike quality can vary.
“Amazing the Guide is local, but travel all the world, was nice!”
Spend 11 hours cycling the Wachau Valley with an English-speaking guide such as Tim, Nicolas, or Sanja. Ride easy paths between villages, taste wines at two family-run wineries, visit Dürnstein, and take the train from Vienna. Lunch costs €17 in cash, and electric bikes cost extra.
“This day trip was excellent! Our guide, Nicholas, was approachable and professional. He knew a lot and took us to wonderful wineries. The bikes worked really well and the cycling was fantastic. For avid cyclists that enjoy great views, this was a wonderful trip. Thank you for making it so great, Nicholas!”
Ride through Vienna with an English-speaking guide such as Lisa, Marco, Jan, or Horst on a relaxed three-hour route. You’ll cover the Ringstrasse, imperial sights, Hundertwasserhaus, Karlskirche, the Danube canal, and Prater’s giant Ferris wheel, with regular photo stops and city bikes included.
“Gerald was awesome. A true gentleman and tour guide.”
Ride through central Vienna with a live English or German guide in a group limited to six. Starting near Karlsplatz, the route links the Opera, Hofburg, Heldenplatz, Parliament, Rathaus, Stephansplatz, Stadtpark, and Belvedere. Your e-bike may also be available for longer independent riding after the guided tour.
“What an amazing experience! Tamour was so knowledgeable — just a fount of information. The tour was so efficient and we hit every major stop in the city in just 3 hours. A perfect thing to do on our stopover in Dubai.”
Ride about 6 miles through Vienna with a professional English-speaking guide. You’ll follow the Ringstrasse, stop at the Opera House, Rathaus, Hundertwasserhaus, Heroes’ Square, and Prater, then cycle beside the Danube Canal. The route is mostly flat, but city traffic, cobbles, and all-weather operation call for steady riding and suitable clothing.
“Great Bike tour! We learned a lot. Maybe not great for kids 10 or under unless they really like history or bike riding. We had a couple of grumpy kids in our group. Otherwise it was a fantastic way to see the city's main attractions but also some hidden gems. Clemens was super!! 5 stars!”
Start in Gosau at 10 a.m. for a five to seven-hour guided e-bike ride through alpine pastures and mountain roads. Guides Karl or Wolfram lead groups of up to six, stopping at rustic huts for Austrian specialties such as Kaiserschmarrn and plum pofesen. You’ll visit Hallstatt, Plankensteinalm, and Gosausee before returning to the start point.
“By far the best part of my Austria trip! Just book it, you won’t regret it. Karl made this experience fun, informative and kept me up to date on our progress throughout the day. The bikes provided were in very good working order and the routes were safe and easy to navigate. Along the way, Karl becomes your personal photographer and really makes sure you’re having a good time. Even with a lunch stop (at the cutest place), the 6 hours really flew by. My only wish is that I had more time in Austria so I could do it again!”
