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.

Tour guide Peter was great and tour was nice. However, it was like a cattle call with 20 bikers of all different skill level. We had a rider get lost and we all had to stand around until he was found. We had another person crash and again we had to wait for them to recover. A lot of stopping and waiting because the group was too large for one guide. Should have had another guide or a smaller group.
Karen_H, Jun 2026
Enjoyed this tour but not my favorite of the places where I've taken bike tours. The guide was knowledgeable but maybe the size of the group diminished the experience a bit. I think it was 15-20 people?
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found the guide knowledgeable.
Group tours can feel quite different depending on the day and the mix of participants, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. We're pleased that you were still able to enjoy exploring Vienna by bike and learning more about the city.
Thank you for joining us, and we hope you had a wonderful time in Vienna.
Jackie_S, Jun 2026
Too many people on the tour. There were 17 including kids who did not understand the rules of the road. It was chaotic and impossible to hear our guide, not to mention navigating traffic, other cyclists and pedestrians. Would not recommend unless numbers were capped. 10 would be the max I would recommend to participate, more than that…no.
Guide was excellent and did his best.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you found the guide excellent and appreciated his efforts throughout the tour.
We understand that group size can have a significant impact on the overall experience, particularly in busy urban environments where traffic, cyclists, pedestrians and the participants of the tour are all factors. We offer tours in a group setting, and experiences may vary depending on the mix of participants and conditions on the day.

Lisa was a wonderful, energetic, knowledgeable, and personable tour guide!! Highly recommend taking this tour with her, she was fun, her English is perfect, and you can tell she loves showing people her city. Bike tours are the perfect way to see lots of sights in a short time - get the lay of the land at the beginning of your trip and then decide what you want to revisit after. One negative: the group size of 15 was too large for one guide. We had to wait 2 traffic light cycles most of the time when crossing streets which was frustrating. However, overall I still very much recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
I'm glad you enjoyed the tour and the historic about the buildings. We take that into account of this problem. We hope to see you again soon.

Petro was our guide and did a great job. The tour was about 2 1/2 hours long and took us around inner city and through Prater Park.

We had an outstanding tour with Horst: knowledgeable, funny, interesting is how we describe it. The tour is pretty flat and at an easy pace with bikes in good condition. We saw so much more than our walking tour
Highly recommended
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an outstanding tour with Horst. He’ll be especially happy to know that his knowledge and sense of humor made the experience both interesting and enjoyable for you.
It’s great that you appreciated the relaxed pace and the quality of the bikes—and even better that you were able to see more than on a walking tour! That’s exactly what we aim for.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another tour in the future!
Sydney_M, Apr 2026
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!
Response from Host, Apr 2026

All the best and enjoy 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.

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

Hey Roger,
we agree, a bike tour in a new city is the ideal way to get an overview of the place! Thank you very much!

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

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.

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.

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.

Hello Claire,

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

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

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!

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!
