We loved it, the cruise was very comfortable and the ride very nice. Totally recommended. We took it at 15 30 and perfect to see it during the day and illuminated on the way back. Beautiful

A lovely evening on the Danube, with a very warm welcome and the option of dining on the boat. We were delighted to do so: the meal was delicious and hearty, served with a lovely smile from the waitresses, and the music accompanied us throughout the cruise. We'll treasure our memories. Congratulations

The duration and the magnificent views. The only thing that included audiguia and at no time we were offered, it is also true that we did not ask for it because we did not need it.
