Very nice and above all atmospheric round trip. Early December with decorated tables, fairy lights everywhere and a Christmas playlist. Admittedly, the tour was interrupted somewhat chaotically by a few sightseeing explanations in different languages, fortunately not so often, and fortunately we had already explored the city beforehand, so we definitely preferred the Christmas playlist. :-) All this with a warm drink from the little bar, perfect.

Ticketing was very straightforward especially for someone who struggles with technology. The cruise itself was good as the group was relatively small so you were not crowded.

The boat tour does not allow you to see who knows what about the city , because the city itself does not offer much by the river. It is a very relaxing boat ride, though, ideal for relaxing a bit between walking tours.
