Frequently asked questions

Do you provide the bikes?

Your guide organises the tour; rental bikes are arranged through local providers if needed. Let us know when booking whether you are bringing your own or need some.

How long is the total route?

Depending on the version chosen, expect roughly 15 to 25 kilometres. We adjust the exact distance to the group's fitness and available time.

Is the route suitable for less experienced cyclists?

The Danube Island and the Prater avenue are flat and low-traffic, making them manageable for less confident cyclists too. If in doubt, we agree the pace beforehand.
