The Eastern Europe by Bike experience includes your accommodation in double rooms with a private bathroom, each night you share a room with one person from the group. (Max. two people per room)

If you come as a couple, as a family or with friends, you can choose who accompanies you. If you come alone, we will place you with a person of the same sex, who will be your companion or roommate throughout the trip. 

Remember that you will only share with one person in the group. If you want a single room, we can talk to quote the extra amount to pay.

The support car is reserved only for our bike travelers. Therefore, it is not possible to bring a companion who does not participate in the experience.

You can offer your companion the option of signing up for the experience and they will be able to have our support car if they need to rest or pass a section, we will be in charge of accompanying and guiding them and you will be able to enjoy at the pace you want.

Remember that this option is allowed on our Premium version trips (Tailored for you, under quote). If you want to talk to us to quote a Camino Premium you can write to us at info@zococamino.com

To participate in this route and achieve your goal of traveling 400 km by bike, you need to be in good physical shape. It is important to be used to riding a bike, especially in the saddle, and to know your appropriate speed to avoid falls.

You don’t need to be an advanced clicker, a minimum of preparation is enough. It is good that you start training one or two months before coming to the trail in order to avoid fatigue or sore muscles during the experience.

Whenever you have doubts about your physical condition and training level, we recommend using the electric bike. You can keep the pedal assist off when you want to exercise and turn it on during the toughest moments.

The most important preparation is on a mental level, you must be aware that you will be outside your comfort zone, and in contact with another culture, you will also share with people from different places in the world.

Every day we will get up early and travel an average of 50 km, meal times will be different from what you are used to, we will spend most of the time in rural environments next to the Danube and it is possible that during the tour it will rain, be cold or we will have to pedal on wet terrain. Nothing that an adventurous mind can’t take advantage of.

Each traveler may bring a single suitcase or backpack of max. 23 kg of weight that will be transported in a vehicle from hotel to hotel.

Avoid bringing unnecessary luggage to the Camino. You don’t need: Jewelry, books, elegant or party clothes or shoes, iron or hair dryer, towels, sleeping bag, umbrella, wallets.

Yes, you can enjoy this route with children ages 10 and up who have experience with a bike. It is necessary that one of the parents or family member be in charge of his care and not leave him alone at any time, even if he chooses to rest in the support car.

If your child does not have experience or confidence on a bike, we recommend choosing the Camino de Santiago VIP Walking experience.

You can travel with your group privately as long as there are 12 or more people. In this case, you will also enjoy a special 10% discount on the value of the trip.

If your group is smaller, we will accept more pilgrims until the 12 places are filled.

The group must accommodate our available dates for the Eastern Europe Bike experience.

If you want to do the experience on the dates of your choice or a completely private trip as a couple or with a group of less than 12 people, you can choose to quote a Premium Bike Trail.

The VIP Camino, whether by bike or on foot, is a pre-designed experience, which is carried out in a group and on the dates we have chosen. The activities and the route are carried out without any modification. All services are included, so the pilgrim does not have to worry about anything once he is with us. We have picnic setups every day and all meals are included, therefore it is a VIP service.

The Eastern European Bike Experience is not a VIP trip so it only includes half board, that is, only breakfast and lunch or dinner. Therefore, it is not an all-inclusive trip. We also do not carry out catering setups like on the Camino De Santiago. In this experience all meals are in restaurants and a small snack is provided for the route.

Our Premium trips are the option we offer you so that together we can design a trip tailored to you, if you want to come privately to one of our experiences, as a couple or with your own group, add or remove stages, more or fewer days, include other activities, etc. Premium trips are made under quote since the price varies depending on the dates, the number of days, the stages, the activities and the number of people to include.

If you want to plan a Premium Camino with us you can contact us at info@zococamino.com

The Eastern European Bike Experience only takes place during the summer.

The months from June to August have pleasant weather and much less heat than in the southern part of Europe. We may even have cold or drizzly days. But especially during the summer we have a very pleasant climate that even allows us to take baths in the Danube during our route.
