“Interesting tour, clear statements and passion of the guide.”
Cruise Dresden’s Elbe River past palaces, bridges, and the Blue Wonder aboard a paddle steamer or modern boat, with food and drinks available.
“It's wonderful to see the outskirts of Dresden from the water. The boat is very comfortable and warm, you're able to go out onto the deck, and the information provided over the speakers informative. Great to see the locals going about their daily life along the waterfront. There are no roads so there are cyclists, walkers, geese, and children enjoying the space. You can have wine, beer, coffee and cake as you glide along. Do recommend this cruise. Staff were friendly too.”
