We were 4 friends and we loved it. The tour information in our case in Spanish, great and everything super well organized. The fact of being able to eat or drink something while we make the trip makes it even more enjoyable. The treatment of the ship's staff was excellent and the facilities, even the toilet, everything was impeccable. We would repeat without any doubt.

We actually wanted to leave at 12 noon. The time was not (or no longer) available on your website. That's why we took the tickets for 1.30 pm. Later we found out that the 1pm boat had a lot of empty seats. Annoying. Next time I will book directly with Stern- und Kreisschifffahrt.

The loudspeakers in the outdoor area were not always understandable. We were discreetly ignored when ordering drinks.

The route is very beautiful with lots of great sights. The explanations are interesting. However, the trip only took 2 hours and 10 minutes. The staff are very nice and courteous, not at all intrusive. If you don't want to consume anything, you don't have to.
