Guided or Self-Guided Tour?

If this is your first bicycle tour in a country foreign to you, or if you want to be within a group of Americans with the supportive services of a great tour leader and a van, then our traditional guided tours are probably for you.

If you have done all that and are comfortable on your own with or without knowledge of the language (English gets you almost everywhere these days), then you may want to consider a self-guided tour. The savings are great and they leave almost anytime you want to go. You must be able to fix a flat (or be with someone who can!) and be willing to ride on rainy days. For more details, check out our Self-guided Tour Section

 

Group Tours

We can tailor any of our trips to meet your group's needs. If your group is ten or more, you can select your own departure date and alter the itinerary to your liking. We would enjoy working with you in planning your dream vacation.

WorldVentures Traditionally Operated Guided Tours

Original Tours

These are the "Original Tours" that we have built our reputation on since 1983. Our staff has conceived them, designed them and operated them with our own tour leaders since their inception. The tour members are usually all North Americans with an occasional guest from another continent (we wish there were more). There are never more than 16 guests so we can provide individual attention to needs.

There are always two or more seasoned tour leaders and the tours operate in a loosely structured way so that you can do the tour your way.... as you like it. Instructions and maps are issued on the first day of the tour and you are free to leave at anytime during the day just by following the directions. You can, if you prefer, ride with the tour leader and other tour members in a group. The van patrols the route during the day until the last rider arrives. It has on board fruits, drinks and other treats to keep you well nourished along the way. It will be available for repairs if needed and to take tired cyclists aboard at any time. It will make sure that your luggage is in your room when you arrive at your hotel.

The hotels we select are always the best available in the area. Often it may be a luxurious chateau or castle or manor house. Of course, some nights these are not available and we stay in cozy country inns, usually family operated, to get a real feel of the culture.

These tours are all marked as Original Tours in their description.

 

World-Ventures Guided PartnerTours

Partner Tours are offered by our operating partners who are based in the vicinity of their tours. These are the same partners that operate our Self-Guided tours and with whom we have built a very close bond over the years. We hold them in high regard and they can offer an immersion in their culture that provides and in depth experience for their tour members. They provide local tour leaders with an intimate knowledge of their area and a very service oriented experience for the cyclists. All are multilingual and speak English quite well.

The members of the tour are usually a mixture of European citizens along with our North American clients. The significant difference is in the way they operate the tour. All cyclists cycle together with the tour leader who constantly guides the trip and offers commentary along the way. Written directions are not provided. They are supported by another leader who drives the support van and offers refreshments and mechanical help and a ride for tired cyclists.

The hotels are typically 2 to 4 stars depending upon the tour. The combination of local tour leaders and more modest accommodations results in significant savings on the price of the tour as you will notice. We welcome your questions.

These tours are all marked as Partner Tours in the description.

The Danube River bicycle path - The World's Most Popular Bike Path - From Germany through Austria.
 
Only in Roman times was the Danube a cultural barrier. Later the Danube was an axis along which different movements and events, such as the migration of the peoples, the conversion to Christianity and the establishing of empires, took place. This region has always been marked by the fusion of the East and the West. The Danubian Bike Trail between Passau and Vienna is regarded as Europe's most popular bike route, and with good reason. Hardly any other part of the Danube Valley offers such a variety of culture and scenery and such a density of historical sights. Remote valleys, fertile plains and steep vineyards as well as neat farmhouses and splendid monasteries characterize this lovely area. This is a well equipped bike path, mostly directly along the Danube. Completely flat, this tour is especially recommended for children and for bike-tour beginners.
