This was a great activity! I went with a small group and we sat on the top deck of the boat. Food and drinks were available to order (cash only). A pre-recorded track played information in both German and English while passing different towns and castles.

Very friendly staff. Not too much crowded so we had a lot of fun. But I guess that is just luck based.

Full description

Experience a castle tour in the Middle Rhine Valley, where fine wines from ruby red Pinot Noir to shimmering golden Riesling are grown. Discover one of Europe’s oldest trade routes along former toll castles and robber barons' nests, where Victor Hugo, Goethe, and Heinrich Heine are onboard in spirit. Explore beloved places of the Middle Rhine Valley that inspired the poets who created Rhine Romanticism.

This section of the Rhine, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002, is home to more castles than anywhere else. Admire Rheinstein Castle, Reichenstein Castle (Trechtingshausen), the ruins of Ehrenfels Castle, and the fabled Mouse Tower of Binger Loch. See the Nahe river flow into the Rhine and marvel at Klopp Castle before continuing on to the Niederwald Monument with the Germania and the Niederwald Temple in Osteinpark.

Let the myth of the Rhine Romanticism enchant you. Admire the red wine region of Assmannhausen with its famous Pinot Noir vineyards as well as the flourishing town of Bingen with the beautiful Rhine park of the 2008 horticultural show and Rüdesheim with the famous Drosselgasse.

We enjoyed everything, but on the Gondola, it stopped on the way up, in mid air, and we didn’t know why. But, besides that, everything was wonderful and everyone was friendly. We will definitely return. We love Rüdesheim.
