Decision
The Best Wachau Valley Wine Tours, by Kind of Day
Small group or private, lunch or no lunch, bike, kayak or van: the wine day that fits your party, and the one to avoid if you may cancel.
Wachau Valley Guides
Long reads for the decisions a booking button cannot make for you: which wine day suits you, how the hours of a day trip are spent, how to do the valley on your own, what the fares include, and how to see it by bike.
Start with the day trip if your date is set, and with the prices if your budget is. The blog answers single questions in fewer words.

Prices
Wachau Valley Tour Prices and What Each Fare Buys

By bike
The Wachau Valley by Bike: the Tour, the Ride and the Ferry
How far the guided bike tour rides, the ferry crossing, tastings in the saddle, bikes on the boat and train, and riding it on your own.
