Bringing your own bikes We offer high-quality, optimally maintained rental bikes. However, if you prefer to bring your own trekking bike, please check the condition of the brakes, gears, and tires before the trip and bring a repair kit and spare parts (e.g., inner tube). Please note that bringing your own bike on the plane incurs relatively high additional costs and there is a high risk of transport damage. Due to safety regulations on the ships and to protect the health of our employees, it is not possible to bring your own e-bike. If you would like to ride an e-bike, please rent one from our stock. We advise against bringing your own road bike, as the narrow road bike tires are not suitable for the roads we travel on. The organizer accepts no liability for any damage to a bike you bring with you that is caused by loading, unloading, or transport.

Group pace On most bike & boat tours, you can choose between a trekking bike and an e-bike to participate in the daily tours. However, the guided group pace is based on the trekking bike riders. Anyone who rents an e-bike on a trekking bike tour is asked to be considerate of those who are riding without electronic assistance. We thank you for your understanding. This tour is primarily designed as a guided group tour. In principle, there is nothing to prevent you from cycling individually, provided you discuss this with our tour guides in advance. During the daily program meetings, your tour guides will explain everything you need to know about the next day's stage. If you prefer to travel alone rather than with the group, you can cycle independently and at your own pace. Your guides will be cycling the same route as you, so they will be nearby and available by phone in case of emergencies, problems, or questions.

Timetable and program changes Changes due to weather, water levels, or technical circumstances are always possible on boat trips.

Travel documents EU citizens (who do not have any special circumstances, e.g., dual citizenship, primary residence abroad, or provisionally issued travel documents) require a valid ID card or passport for this trip, which must be valid for at least 6 months after the end of the trip. If you have a different citizenship or multiple citizenships, or if you have to comply with special legal requirements, please check the respective visa and entry requirements with your local consulate.

This trip is not suitable for people with limited mobility.

We recommend taking out international health insurance with repatriation, accident, baggage, and travel cancellation insurance.
