TOURS IN AUSTRIA

Austria is an enchanting country of mountains, rivers and picturesque old cities. The majority of our tours focus on the famous River Danube as it flows between the hills from the German border past the capital Vienna to Slovakia. The easy cycling on special bike paths alongside the busy river is definitely the best way to see and absorb the scenic delights of this attractive region. Our other tour is a delightful, leisurely route through Austria's lake district, the 'Salzkammergut', where the mountains give way to a string of crystal-clear lakes.
