Cruise Berlin’s River Spree for 135 minutes, passing government buildings, palaces, canals, and Central Station with multilingual audio.
“Good way to spend a couple of hours on a sunny day in Berlin,,enjoyed it more than the sight seeing bus we had been on ,,app is easy to use ,no issues at all”
Cruise Dresden’s Elbe River past palaces, bridges, and the Blue Wonder. See what the 90-minute boat trip offers, costs, and where it falls short.
“This was a lovely boat! Lots of seating on the upper deck in the son and airconditioned space below with nice bathrooms on the bottom deck. There is not much in the way of the tour in terms of announcements. Maybe every 3 minutes a few sentences is said on something we are passing. And it seems to me we are passing amazing sights the whole journey. Only thing that could be improved would be a bit more explanation on the history of sights that we are passing.”
Frankfurt’s Main River cruise offers skyline views, Sachsenhausen, museums, and flexible 50 or 100-minute sightseeing for $18.
“We had lovely weather om Frankfurt this day, which helps. The cruise was good, a modest amount of commentary in English and German; which was enough and not bothersome. Great to be able to have drinks; it was a little hard to get service but the staff were working flat out and did the best they could given the number of people. Glad we did the 100 minute cruise as you get to see some interesting parts of Frankfurt, and 50 minutes is just too short to be able to relax.”
Berlin boat tour review covering the Spree, Landwehr Canal, 40 bridges, Museum Island, seating, commentary, food, and $38 value.
“Brilliant day out, really enjoyable and well worth the price. The only negative to it is that the commentary is in German and small amounts in English but really low sound so can't hear it but overall brilliant experience.”
See Cologne Cathedral, Old Town, crane houses, five bridges, and Rodenkirchen on a relaxing 90-minute Rhine cruise for $28.
“The quality of the boat and spacious size as we were the only tourists on board, so it was a very exclusive tour with good quality beer and it kept us dry when the rain came at the end of the cruise !”

Cruise from Dresden to Pillnitz Castle aboard a historic paddle steamer, with riverside castles, Elbe views, audio commentary, and practical tips.

The Location of the Ticket Shop (at starting point 1) is always to approach for changing the get your Guide Voucher into Tickets which you Need todo before you can enter a boat. Everything Else Went perfect.”

Review of the Rhine Valley day trip from Frankfurt, with a steamer cruise, castles, wine tasting, meals, guide tips, and honest value advice.
“The guide was super knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. However, he told the same jokes 2-3 times. The disappointment came with the wine tasting. All of us on the us thought we'd be going to a vineyard. Instead, we went back to the restaurant we ate lunch at and they had pre-poured tastings waiting. They had 4 - one ounce shot glasses that had maybe a thimble full of wine in them. Hardly enough to taste. The wines were not cheap to buy. $34 -48 Euros a piece. We didn't get enough wine to taste to even know if we liked it. They said we could buy…”
