We had a wonderful time on the Bike Tour. The bikes were extremely comfortable and easy to ride. I was so surprised at how easy it is to bike around Vienna. Our Tour Guide Horst was very friendly; knowledgeable; and fun! I definitely recommend this tour if you want to see all of Vienna. You will want to keep biking the rest of your trip!

We only had one day in Vienna. To cover ground quickly and see the highlights, we booked this tour. Our guide was great! We saw most of the major attractions and a couple things we never would have known about. He was knowledgeable, answered any questions, and gave us recommendations on things to do and places to eat.

Itinerary

Departing from the central Vienna, the morning, afternoon, and evening tours have varying routes, but each takes you on a relaxed adventure through the most stunning parts of the city. Soak up an intimate experience as your guide explains the rich history behind the stunning landmarks you pass. See the Itinerary for more details on each departure time.

Morning and Afternoon Tour Set out on your guided bike tour from central Vienna and admire the world-famous Vienna State Opera house and explore within the Ringstraße Boulevard with its impressive historical and government buildings including the Austrian Parliament Building (Parliament) and Rathaus (New City Hall). See the grandeur of Hofburg Palace and bike through its grand public square, the Heldenplatz. Follow your guide past the elegant Burgtheater and ornate St Stephen's Cathedral, the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna. View the Albertina, a palatial art museum Cross the bustling Karlsplatz and see magnificent St Charles' Church (Karlskirche), visit the colorful Hundertwasserhaus building, and bike through the Wiener Prater with its monumental ferris wheel. After riding across the beautiful blue Danube River, pass the architecturally significant Austrian Postal Savings Bank (Postsparkasse) and sprawling Stadtpark with its famous statue of Johann Strauss II before finishing your 6-mile (10-km) bike ride. Evening Tour This tour is more about enjoying Vienna's atmosphere rather than ticking attractions off your list. Start your guided bike ride in central Vienna and travel through the streets at a leisurely pace. As the sunset casts a gentle glow on grand old buildings, imagine how Vienna looked more than a century ago when the Habsburgs rode through the city on evening carriage rides. Continue your ride, admiring majestic Viennese monuments illuminated against the twilight sky. Conclude your 6-mile (10-km) bike tour back in central Vienna.

A great way to see most of Vienna’s amazing sights in a fun and active way. Manuela, our tour guide was fantastic. We learned so much about Vienna’s rich history and she was very knowledgeable, funny, entertaining and accommodating. Bikes were well maintained and I loved the phone and water bottle holders. Highly recommend this tour.

Roger_Z, Nov 2025

Great tour. A fantastic way to start visiting Vienna. The guide knows and loves the town. Great tour

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Biking around town

Kathryn_F, Oct 2025

It was a five star experience. We love bike tours because not only do they take you to the iconic historic sites, but they take you out of the city into the suburbs so that you see parks, and other places of interest. Our guide was extremely informative and was able to tell us a history behind the buildings as well as taking us through Parks And nature. Thank you

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Kathryn, thank you so much for the nice feedback! All the best, the Pedalpowerteam

Ride with Horst

Thomas_S, Oct 2025

The was a perfect blend of contemporary and historic given by our highly engaging guide HORST (like Horse with a T). The bike riding was fun - but only with a guide. We really appreciated the depth of engagement.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hello Thomas, we are glad to hear you enjoyed riding with Horst! Thank you very much and wish you all the best, The Pedalpoweteam

Biking through Vienna

Danny_P, Oct 2025

A great experience with a great guide. We drove the bike about 3,5 hours instead of 3 and saw many things. The knowledge of the guide was amazing and he had lots to tell. We stopped often to listen to his amazing stories.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hey Danny, thank you for taking the time to review our tour so positively! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed it! All the best, the Pedalpowerteam

Hi Caroline, thank you for recommending our bike tour! We highly appreciate it! Kind regards, Cedric & Pedalpowerteam

Cycle tour

Claire_L, Oct 2025

The location was great. Friendly service, however we ended up in a tour with 20 people. Way too big of a group as we kept getting cutoff at lights and made it hard to hear the guide. The tour didn’t make any mention of the Naschmarkt which we found accidentally. Most facts were about the 1700 to early 1900 century. Very little about the post 2nd world war and the city being run by 4 different countries. When I asked she spoke of it for 5 minutes. Was not able to read the crowd as most people were not tuned in. Friendly guide but missed the mark.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hello Claire, thank you for your honest feedback, it is important as we are constantly trying to improve! Kind regards, the Pedalpowerteam

Worth booking

Helen_G, Oct 2025

We saw loads and covered some miles. Quick paced but managed to fit lots in with good knowledge and numbers were not big.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Helen, thank you for this positive feedback, we appreciate it! Kind regards, the Pedalpowerteam

Best guide ever Lisa Marie

Greig_C, Oct 2025

It’s an easy ride and you aren’t exposed to too much traffic. It gives you a much better understanding of the city.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Greig, yes, Vienna is an underrated biking city, we are glad you had fun with Lisa Maria! All the best, the Pedalpowerteam

Wonderful ride with Horst!

Todd_B, Oct 2025

We had a wonderful time with Horst. The weather wasn’t the best for a bike ride for two rather unprepared Americans, high 40’s and light rain, but we managed to tough it out. We had a group of roughly 20 people from various countries with us. Horst engaged well with all of us offering tidbits and stories at every stopped while allowing us to warm our hands a bit. He touched on the historical details of the sites as well as some anecdotes from history and his personal life. We had some relatively inexperienced bikers in the group and showed them kindness and courtesy by waiting for the group but also assisting when their gears were stuck as they tried to change them. Couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hey Todd, thank you so much for this positive review, we are happy you enjoyed riding with Horst and the others! All the best, the Pedalpowerteam

Highly recommended tour in Vienna

Jeff_B, Oct 2025

We had a great time and our tour guide, Horst, was outstanding! He was very knowledgeable, offered a lot of recommendations, and had a great sense of humor.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hey Jeff, yes, Horst is truly a living Viennese encyclopedia! Thank you for participating & all the best, the Pedalpowerteam

Fun tour!

Melissa_S, Sep 2025

We had a great evening tour with Lisa! She adapted the tour to fit the amount of daylight we had, and we had a nice variety of downtown Vienna spots plus the experience of all the green space in the city center. Lisa gave great commentary on Viennese life as well as recommendations for the rest of our time in Vienna. We had an awesome time!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the evening tour with Lisa and appreciated her insights and recommendations. We’re glad you had such a great time exploring Vienna and hope to see you again soon! Best regards PP Team

Great tour

Amy_K, Sep 2025

Our guide, Ute, took us all over the city center and was a wealth of knowledge when it came to Vienna’s architecture and historical information. The time went by very quickly and we saw more than just the top items in Vienna.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you so much for your review! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring Vienna with Ute and that you were able to discover more than just the main sights. We hope to welcome you again on another tour soon! Best regards, PP Team

Biking around Vienna

Leslie_H, Sep 2025

We were lucky to have Lisa as our guide on this tour, her English was impeccable and her energy was uber friendly! We covered a lot of sites, the bikes were in excellent condition and several people in our group upgraded to E-bikes. Lisa was very knowledgeable about Wien and made an excellent recommendations for a place to have lunch after the tour. The experience was so fun!

Great experience.

Vijayaraghavan_P, Sep 2025

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed biking through the beautiful city of Vienna and our guide, Horst, was extremely helpful and friendly. It was wonderful to have conversations with him and learn about the city as well! Would definitely recommend this to others.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour with our guide Horst. We’re also happy that you learned more about the city. We look forward to welcoming you on another tour soon! Best regards, PP Team

Great Intro to Vienna!

Emma_N, Sep 2025

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.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you, Emma for this amazing review and for taking thetime to write this review! We are glad you enjoyed the tour with us and the guides. Maybe see you next time!:)

Easy, Breezy, Fun - With History!

Ingrid_K, Sep 2025

The bikes were on great condition, the tour guide was incredibly knowledge, and the ride was easy. The biking itself wasn't strenuous in any way. The rise was easy, and we stopped often to look at sites and learn more about it's history. Sebastian was incredibly knowledgeable about many different aspects of history and was able to answer all our architectural questions too. He also told us about the "drama" surrounding past political figures and more about their lives which was a lot of fun. If you're on the fence, book it! Thank you for a lovely time.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We’re so pleased to hear that you found the bikes comfortable, the ride enjoyable, and Sebastian’s knowledge and guidance enriching. It’s wonderful to know you appreciated both the history and the lighter stories along the way. We truly value your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future.

Highly Recommend!

Ethan_W, Aug 2025

Great way to get to see the city highlights

Alex_d, Aug 2025

Manuela was an awesome guide!! The three hour tour went by way too fast. We learned a lot about the city, took great pictures, and enjoy spending time with the whole group. Highly recommended. Thank you, Manuela.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We are happy that you had a great experience with the tour guide and that you learned a lot about the city. We hope to see you again on your next trip here! Best regards PP Team

Good, but smaller group would be better

Chris_N, Aug 2025

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.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We are keeping our groups at a reasonable size so that there are not safety concerns. Kind regards PP Team

Great tour around major...

Jana_M, Aug 2025

Great tour around major sights in Vienna! I loved the lil trip to the Hundertwasser Haus & Village too.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and especially the visit to Hundertwasser Haus & Village — it's such a good spot! We hope to welcome you back to Vienna for more adventures soon. Kind regards PP Team

Well Done Bike Tour of the City

Aaron_S, Aug 2025

Bike Tour was quite good. Directions to find the bike shop were not very good-walked right by it and had to go back to it, as it is not named as the tour company’s name.Guide was very good and informative, taking us to many of the highlights of the city. A lot of street crossings that gave a quick signal, so a larger group won’t cross many of them in time, but the group waited at the other side. Would recommend if it’s your first day to get an overall feel for the city, but if you’ve already been on some tours, then some may be redundant.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the bike tour and found the guide informative and helpful in showing you the city’s highlights. We appreciate your comments about the directions to our shop and the street crossings—your input helps us improve the experience for future guests. We’re glad you’d recommend the tour, especially for first-time visitors! Best regards PP Team

Magical evening bike ride through Vienna

Kathryn_H, Aug 2025

The bike tour was roughly 3 hours- first seeing some sights in the city center and then along the Danube River and then out through the large city park. It’s was a perfect evening activity to do with my young teenage son.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the bike tour through the city center, along the Danube River, and out to the park. It’s wonderful that it was the perfect evening activity for you and your teenage son! We hope to welcome you again! Best regards PP Team

A brilliant cycle tour

Sarah_F, Jul 2025

If you love to ride a bike, Vienna is made for cyclists. A fantastic way to see and get used to the city. Our guide was brilliant and 3 hours cycling around the city on day 1 was fabulous.

Fun way to tour a little of Vienna and learn some of the history. Cycling is also a great way to get around Vienna.

Hope you got to discover some hidden gems along the way. Safe travels and happy cycling! Kind Regards PP Team

Velo in Vienna

Andrea_H, Jul 2025

Really nice introduction to Vienna. Petros, our guide was very knowledgeable. Had a lovely demeanor and kept the group together nicely and easily. I would say I would rate it a five out of 10 for difficulty. Everything was pretty flat and easy to maneuver. There is a bit of traffic in the city and it requires a little bit of patience but overall it was a really nice way to spend a half a day in Vienna. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you so much for your kind review and the recommendation! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and that Petros made it a great experience. Hope to see you again on another adventure! 😊

Fantastic bike tour - fun and informative.

Heidi_K, Jul 2025
