Bike tours · AUSTRIA BIKE TOURS
Good austria bike tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 10 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride from the Vienna State Opera through the Ringstraße, Hofburg, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Stadtpark, and the Danube Canal. A licensed guide leads this mostly flat route at a relaxed pace, sharing history, local stories, and food tips. Bikes are included, with tours in English, German, or Dutch.
“Peter is a great tour guide with great knowledge and fun story telling.”
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 a castle hike or swim. Guides such as Szana, Tim, Sina, and Felipe are praised for making the long day easy and fun.
“It was an amazing tour through the beautiful Wachau valley. We stopped at 2 wine producers, both totally original and make brilliant wine, as well as being great story tellers! A really special day. Our guide, Nicolas, was also really great and made the whole day even better.”
Ride through central Vienna, parks, the Danube area, and sights such as Hundertwasser Haus with a local guide. Morning, afternoon, and evening routes vary. Bikes, a professional English-speaking guide, and three hours of cycling are included. Guides such as Horst, Lisa Maria, Ute, and Sebastian add local stories and practical tips.
“Tour guide was very good and pace was nice to be able to see some sites. Only complaint would be that we felt the group was too large. Since a microphone wasnt used, it was difficult to get close enough with such a large group to hear all of the commentary. Would recommend capping off the group at 10 or 12 max.”
Ride through central Vienna for three hours with a live English, German, or Dutch-speaking guide. The route links City Hall, Parliament, Hofburg Palace, the State Opera, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Spanish Riding School, and Heldenplatz. Guides such as Anita, Karin, Marcelo, and Eddy add history, local tips, and humor.
“Our guide Anita was very enthusiastic and engaging, made the tour that much better. the weather was good to us and Vienna itself is quite flat, only a few small hills at the end to contend with so it ideal for everyone. You see the historical areas of the city, which there is quite a lot of. Worth the money for sure and arguably the best way to tour the city 👌🏾”
Spend 11 hours cycling through Austria’s Wachau Valley with an English-speaking guide, stopping at small wineries and Domäne Wachau, exploring Dürnstein, and tasting dry white wines. The 25-kilometer route is mostly gentle, with breaks, train transport from Vienna, bike hire, and helmets included. Guides such as Tim, Nicolas, Tomas, and Sanja are praised for wine and local history.
“This ended up being a really nice day trip and Nicolas was a very informative guide both on wine and history. I planned on doing the on my own but finding open wineries is actually kind of complicated so I’m glad I went with the group. Biking through the valley was lovely!”
Ride comfortable city bikes through imperial Vienna with an English-speaking guide. You’ll follow bike paths and quiet, well-surfaced routes past the Ringstrasse, Opera House, Rathaus, Parliament, Hundertwasserhaus, Karlskirche, and Prater’s Ferris wheel. Guides such as Lisa, Marco, Jan, Horst, and Robert add history, humor, and local tips.
“Horst was a fantastic guide. The tour took us over 10km around Bienna on very good cycle paths. He was a mine of information and very funny in addition”
You’ll ride an electric bike from central Vienna to Danube Island, Belvedere Palace, and Prater Park, including a view of the Wiener Riesenrad. An English-speaking guide leads the three-hour route. Bring comfortable clothes, a passport or credit card for the deposit, and no large bags. Riders must be at least 160 centimeters tall.
“mooie fietstour, gids soms wat moelijk te verstaan. fietszadel kan veel beter, smal en hard, niet prettig voor 3 uur.”
Join a Spanish-speaking local guide for a two-hour Vienna tour by kick bike or e-scooter.
