“The Rhine is beautiful. We really wanted to do a river cruise but we don’t have the time to do a longer one. This tour of the Rhine fits very well with our itinerary. We enjoyed our ride in the boat, we stayed outside to feel the breeze. Food inside are okay. We just ordered pizza and drinks for a quicker meal. Very friendly staff, especially the waiter. We went on 6/21, 11 am schedule.”

Die Fahrt war informativ, unterhaltsam und erstklassig geführt – insgesamt unsere bisher beste Bootstour.”

“First day in Germany and what an excellent, informative way to begin! Sarah was wonderful, full of knowledge without feeling like a uni lecture. She was super cool and very interesting to listen to. Good number of participants to (I think there was 12-14 people) - not too many to tell overcrowded. Highly recommended”

Review of Düsseldorf’s two-hour evening Rhine cruise with a live DJ, city views, onboard bar, sunset atmosphere, pricing, tips, and drawbacks.
“Vielleicht lag es am Donnerstag, den wir gebucht hatten + am schlechten Wetter, aber es war leider absolut lahm. Keinerlei Stimmung, niemand getanzt in- oder Outdoor alle saßen Spießig unter sich an ihren Tischen und haben gegessen und gesittet getrunken. Null Stimmung. Alles sehr sehr groß daher verläuft es sich auch sehr. Und wenn man indoor sitzt kann man sobald es dunkel ist nicht mehr wirklich rausgucken da sich alles von innen in den Scheiben spiegelt, man muss also raus. Aber das ist eben nur bei gutem Wetter möglich. Ich würde es nicht nochmal machen.”
See Berlin’s Wall landmarks, grand avenues, and Spree riverbanks by Segway on a lively two-hour tour with a local guide.
“Our guide was very caring for us, entertainig and at the same time relaxed and easy-going. Huge thank you! A tip for inexperienced Segway riders: beware of the platform dimensions, it is wider than your feet standing!”
Drive a classic Trabant through Dresden’s old town, across the Blue Wonder, and into Loschwitz and Neustadt on a lively German guided safari.
