Cycling The Danube - Vienna To Budapest

Reality Check

Cycling conditions This is a self-guided trip for those who prefer to cycle independently, but with our assistance to take out the stress of the logistics and planning. We arrange your accommodations, provide you with a map and route notes so that you can cycle at your own pace, while your bags are transported from one hotel to the next. It is important that you are happy reading maps and following route notes, we make these as accurate as possible and they are regularly checked. Where possible we stick to cycle tracks and quiet roads to make the journeys as pleasant as possible, however, on occasion we have to use busier routes.

As this is a self-guided holiday there is no group and no leader. There maybe others on the same departure date as you, but you will not be organised together. The routes notes contain a 24-hour emergency assistance telephone number should you need it and in emergencies, the hotels are normally able to dispatch a taxi or pick you up themselves. They may wish to charge for this service.

Grade: A (Please see the introductory pages of the Cycling Brochure for more important information on classification and grading).

Please note that helmets are obligatory for adults cycling outside cities in Slovakia (available if you pre-reserve with Exodus and at a price of EUR15 paid locally), and at night or if there is bad visibility you are required to have either reflectors or a safety vest.
