Unfortunately, we were not served any whipped cream with our apple strudel although it was indicated, therefore only "good" in the rating

Very good experience, to see nice landmarks along the Danube Canal. Staff are friendly, we opted for 2 course lunch, and food is great. I also bought audio guide, however, it's actually free.

Nice excursion along the Danube River. On the way you don't see the most important monuments, which are visible with the streetcar ride, but modern Vienna

The boat trip is pleasant enough but there just isn't very much to see. The area along that part of the camel is mainly housing / industrial.

The welcome, the boat and the meal weren't bad. The cruise was not very interesting. I was expecting to see some pretty interesting things, but not really. It's a boat trip! It's not from the boat that you see the best of Vienna.
