This is the shortlist to send a friend: 15 cycling tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
A 3-hour guided bike tour through Vienna’s biggest sights, from the State Opera to the Donau Canal, with bike rental included.
“Tour was great, the guide even better. Really great to hear the backstories of the buildings you would otherwise quickly make a picture of and move on from. Highlight is the community housing and the graffiti walls, in my opinion says a lot about life in Vienna.”
Ride from Vienna into UNESCO Wachau Valley for a guided bike day with included bike rental, wine tastings, and Durnstein Abbey.
“Unforgettable! Our guide was so friendly and professional. He had so much knowledge about the area and wines. Plenty of wine to drink, and it was great getting to know our fellow travelers!! Biking was very fun!!”
Vienna City Bike Tour: a 3-hour guided ride in English with bike rental, hitting parks and Danube for an easy first day in Vienna.
“Very well thought out route that gives a great introduction to Vienna. Guides are knowledgeable about the city and its history. Only thing I would recommend is that you have some experience riding a bike and sharing the road with pedestrians, cars, and other cyclists. Although most of the route is travelled along designated bike lanes there were a few moments where we biked on the roads. If you are a timid rider or have limited experience riding a bike in a city setting, you may struggle on this tour.”
3-hour guided bike tour of Vienna past Hofburg, Spanish Riding School, St. Stephen’s and Heldenplatz, with war and politics stories.
“Our very knowledgeable guide Eddie took us all around Vienna and showed us the highlights along with the history. Nice small group of 6 that became 8, but manageable riding through the city center. We had lovely weather which just made it better!”
Cycle the Wachau Valley from Vienna with family wineries and Domäne Wachau tastings, Dürnstein castle views, and Danube cooling.
“The trip was great. Felipe was a fabulous guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and jovial. He knew a lot about the vine region and Vienna in general. He was able to customize the trip in a way that maximized our time as well as took into account for the weather.”
A 3-hour English bike tour of Vienna’s Ringstrasse, Opera, City Hall, Danube canal, Hundertwasserhaus, Karlskirche, and the Prater Ferris wheel.
“Excellent bike tour in a beautiful city. Tour guide was very informative, unfortunately didn't get her name. Really enjoyed museum quater & cycle along the Danube canal.”
Guided e-bike ride in Vienna for $49, past the Opera, Hofburg, Stephansplatz, Parliament, Rathaus, Belvedere, and back to Karlsplatz.
“Interesting hour with informative guide. Super powered electric bikes. We took the option to keep the bikes for a further 3 hours along the canal and around town, when we returned the bikes only a fraction of the battery had been used. Loved the turbo boost”
Easy, mostly flat bike tour of Vienna from Ringstrasse to Prater and the Danube, with clear English guides and historic stops.
“Great tour of city with interesting historical and personal perspectives from Rob. Easy pace with plenty of stops including a short rain delay under the columns in the Ballhausplatz. Highly recommended.”

“Great way to see a lot of the city! As well as the Danube.”
Guided e-bike pastures from Hallstatt to Gosau with hut stops, Kaiserschmarrn, quarry snacks, and Gosausee views. English, small groups.
“Epic experience! Our guide, Wolfram, is the man! He picked up on our groups humor and self deprecation and joined in the banter all day. He lead the group with confidence and always had an eye on our safety. The views from the top are worth the uphill climb. The Ebike's are fun to operate, but you'll still need to be prepared to push yourself on the climb. Lunch on the hilltop was authentic Austrian and delicious. We couldn't have had a better time viewing the mountain and countryside.”
Small-group Vienna bike tour with a guide, bottled water, and photo stops from Prater to the Danube Canal in about 3 hours.
“If you're looking for a bike tour of Vienna then look no further. They have a maximum of 10 people per tour which means you won't be waiting around st stops. We were greeted by a friendly chap who I assume was the owner with some water and the bikes. The bikes were in great condition, I did have a very slight issue with the gears and our guide Jeremy fixed it within seconds with a small adjustment. Jeremy our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about all history not only of Vienna but of any other world history (it seemed) adding a few anecdotes of world history that had a small…”
Cruise Vienna on an e-bike, tour a 900-year-old abbey cellar, and taste wines along the Danube, finishing on Danube Island.
