Relaxing ride along the river. the record commentary could be louder as at some time you couldn't hear anything. Bring cash with you. It was really surprising that food and drinks are only cash on board.

5 out of 5 stars

Very nice and entertaining boat tour. The choice of food on board was somewhat limited, so it might be advisable to order in advance. Good announcements in German and English. Recommended.
