    Online gebucht, hat alles geklappt. Service-Mitarbeiterin sehr engagiert und sehr nett. Flussfahrt war toll, Sehenswürdigkeiten "entspannt" entdeckt. Sehr empfehlenswert.

    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.

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