A lovely hour cruising on the river. We arrived a little early as we were unsure as to the meeting point as the email wasn't fully clear. After walking along the river and asking someone we managed to find our boat. Our trip was originally on a smaller boat for English tourists but we were offered the paddle steamer boat on the German tour which we accepted. Although we didn't have the commentary, it was still a lovely trip as we went one way down the river then turned around and back down the other way passing some lovely bridges. The boat was very comfortable with plenty of seating both inside and out.

Vi kom forsinket, men en hyggelig kaptein viste oss til båten. Liten og sjarmerende båt. Enkel liten tur med guiding underveis. Spesielt fint da det ble slumring underveis i turen.

Very nice boat ride to both sides of the river (from the starting point). Not the boat we booked, but way more suitable for our small group.

Excellent trip. Really enjoyed it! Very pleasant and the views were lovely. Would definitely recommend!

They were a really good trip with safe skipper nice treatment so everything was great
