Exodus cycling holidays in Germany combine exquisite natural scenery and border-hopping adventures with age-old traditions that are still very much alive and well. Whether you’re following the trail of the multi-national River Danube, circling the shoreline of Lake Constance or carving your way through beautiful Bavaria, we guarantee you won’t forget it.
On our dedicated cycle routes along the Danube, you’ll traverse steep-sided valleys and dense riverside woods on your merry way to magnificent Vienna. You can even choose to travel by bike and boat combined – fitting in stop-offs in bustling Budapest and Bratislava along the way.
When imagining our self-guided tours around Lake Constance, try to envisage stunning mountain views, café-lined waterfronts, fairy-tale palaces and daily swims in turquoise waters. You’ll be flanked by Swiss and Austrian peaks in a region that’s overflowing with history.
And then there’s the beautifully unspoilt Bavaria. Here, bratwurst, beer and lederhosen remain the order of the day – but that’s just the start. You’ll uncover a surprising landscape that features the stunning German Jura mountains in amongst winding rivers, fertile hills and hilltop castles. Our cycling trips in Germany are ready to be experienced – what are you waiting for?
Flanked by the majestic Alpine peaks of Germany, Switzerland and Austria, the turquoise shoreline and pebbly beaches of Lake Constance are shared between three countries.
The two week cycle tour more than met our expectations. First time in India and would definitely visit again. The two key components being part of a nice group of eight participants whom all got on well (4 couples) and really superb local tour guides led by Safi. India more than met our expectations in terms of being ‘different’ in that it was very busy, noisy, colourful, warm which all added to the sensory experience as well as much of the countryside being delightful to cycle through. The Indian people in all locations were very very friendly with the children particularly keen to wave and acknowledge our presence which was a nice feeling. The first days dive into the very busy and noisy hustle bustle of Mysore with cows wandering down the roads and experience of some poorer areas, then the tour moves more to the countryside where it is quieter. The final week heads down to the coast of Kerala where the cycling is easier and the temperature is hotter and the humidity is higher. There are interesting and varied accommodation types used throughout the tour. Some accommodation is delightful whilst some accommodation is ordinary.
We were a private group of 9 chaps, none of us spring chickens. We went early-March, and the weather was generally warm apart from a couple of very chilly mornings. We were led there by our brilliant leader Mikhled; nothing was too much trouble for him, and he is very knowledgeable. A wonderful country, very friendly. The trip was a good mixture of biking and mini-bus transport. Highlights were Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, and Red Sea/Aqaba. Some steep cycling downhill sections and the odd walk up hills – no great surprise at our age! Accommodation fine and food generally excellent; alcohol is sometimes available, sometimes not, so you need to plan a bit in advance if you like to imbibe, as we do. Overall view – highly recommended. (One tip – we were advised to take US dollars as well as Jordanian dinar; you only need the latter in reality).
This was a great trip because of the staff that were with us. The guide Anas was so accommodating and helpful, always smiling and wanting to share as much knowledge about Jordan as possible. No problem was too difficult for him to try to sort. The driver Walid was also hugely experienced and helpful. We were a very small group-3 of us and another super couple. Luckily it worked very well. There was a private group of 9 who were doing the same holiday and I presume that was how the 14 was made up. We were made to wait an hour every morning to let the private tour go first and this was probably the most annoying thing about the trip as we had to wait until 9.00 or 10.00 to leave and so had less time in the evening at our destination – a bit unfair but nothing our group had control over. Also think you should state there is really not much cycling in your brochure. And what cycling there is, is predominately downhill-and some of the downhill is very scary. Quite a few accidents between the 2 groups. We had a poor cycling guide who did not maintain a steady pace and this did not help with uphills and downhills. He seemed to care little what the group was doing, rarely looked behind and was also focusing on his training! Our guide spoke with him but I would suggest he is moved on. We had a day with an excellent cycling guide-ammar and so this guy’s failings really stood out.
The majority of our cycling holidays in Germany run for just over a week including flight time. If you’re pedalling from Passau to Vienna or touring around the beautiful Lake Constance, you’ll be able to enjoy 11 incredible days away from home.
