We have lucked out with beautiful weather and enjoyed the countryside. Thank you for all your organization for our custom bike trip down the Danube. My kids and I had a fabulous time and perfect weather. We all had one recommendation for the trip

Discover France did a great job! The bikes were great . . . in good shape, well-tuned, and we did the entire trip without having to even pump tires once! It rained on a couple of the days, but the panniers kept everything we were carrying dry. I can’t say enough about the routes . . . absolutely beautiful, and darn easy to follow. We never even turned on the GPS. The only change we would make, but others might not, is to divide up the trip from Melk to Tulln into two days instead of one. For us slow riders, those 50 miles wouldn’t have let us spend much time at the wineries, which is why we made arrangements for a car and driver on that day. (Thanks again for doing that for us; it worked out just swell!) Finally, the hotels were perfect. Very European and not a bit like a Holiday Inn . . . which is exactly what we like. We loved every one of them. The guest house in Grein was a bit of a challenge, as it was about a kilometer out of town and at the top of a VERY steep hill . . . and the innkeeper didn’t speak a word of English. However, we loved it nonetheless as it added to the adventure. Thanks again for all of your help on the Danube trip, and for making arrangements for us to stay a little longer on both ends of the bike ride. Everything was perfect and you have two satisfied customers.
