—  Very good. Very comfortable mid- to high-end hotels. Warm welcome. Well-organized taxi transfers. I'm very happy I took this trip with Grand Angle.

—  An excellent combination of cycling, multicultural discoveries (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary), and diverse landscapes along the entire route. Each day features a beautiful bike ride of a reasonable length (50 to 60 km on average), leaving plenty of time for several stops and sightseeing along the Danube before arriving at a new, generally well-chosen place to stay. Several river crossings by various means, including some cable-operated ferries. The two major capitals, Vienna and Budapest, are worth spending at least two full days in. In August 2026, visitor numbers were quite manageable on the Austrian side, but low in Slovakia and Hungary. As for transportation, since we were leaving from Paris, we chose to travel entirely by train: the trip to Passau via Munich is easy; for the return trip, we tried the Hungarian night train from Budapest to Ulm (Stuttgart is also an option) and then the TGV to Paris; by booking early enough, we were able to reserve a sleeper compartment for two people. All in all, we can confirm that this section of EuroVelo 6 is definitely worth the trip.

—  It’s really nice to just go with the flow without having to plan anything. The advertised difficulty levels are accurate, and the itinerary planning, hotel reservations, and transfers were top-notch! All this at a very reasonable price, and with excellent customer service from the Grand Angle team, who always went out of their way to meet our needs.
