VBT Guided Bike & Boat Tours

Cruise and bike along the Danube River through Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary. Drift through historic wonderlands in Holland dotted with windmills and dazzling gardens. Pass the Venice skyline and Piazza San Marco on a sleek Italian river barge through the Venice Lagoon.

These tours are more than bucket-list destinations, they are journeys through magical places that lift the spirit to greater heights and fueling our passion for travel. Our bike and boat tours bring the romance of European culture to you at the gentle, gliding pace of a Strauss waltz. If you love unpacking once, exploring your surroundings by bike, immersing yourself in Old World culture, and indulging in fine food and wine, then we think you’ll be a wonderful VBT Waterways companion.
