The company offers around a dozen set itineraries, each running several days through one or more countries. Examples include Castles and Wines in northern Hungary, which takes in the Aggtelek Stalactite Caves, the Tokaj and Eger wine regions and the castles of Füzér and Andrássy; Best of Danube – Castles & Spas, which runs between Vienna and Budapest past Lake Neusiedl and Tata; and Lake Como – Dolomites – Prosecco – Venice, which mixes cycling with walking in the mountains. Other routes cover Lake Balaton, the Danube Bend, the Salzburg lakes, and a Budapest–Vienna or Vienna–Budapest crossing via Lake Fertő and the thermal lake at Hévíz.

A typical day means riding a scenic section on marked cycle routes and quiet lanes, with stops at a castle, a palace, a historic town or a wine cellar. The air-conditioned support minibus carries luggage and is available to the whole group throughout, so anyone who wants to sit out a section can. Bikes are high-quality comfortable hybrids, chosen for easy riding whatever the surface and weather.

What separates this from a large tour operator is that the two people who own the business are the two people guiding you. Marietta and Peter describe themselves as local guides and lead all their tours personally, which is also why they offer custom trips — they will modify details of an existing route or design a new one around your interests and activity level.

Accommodation is treated as part of the trip rather than a base: antique castles, luxury mansions and small family and spa hotels are picked as attractions in their own right. The same goes for food, with meals taken in local and gourmet restaurants and wine tastings held in historic cellars.

The routes are spread across Hungary, Austria and Italy, with some crossing borders — Vienna to Budapest, Budapest to Vienna, Innsbruck to Venice. You need to make your own way to the start point; the company's line is that you get there and they do the rest.
