Berlin boat tour review covering the Spree, Landwehr Canal, 40 bridges, Museum Island, seating, commentary, food, and $38 value.

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…”

See Cologne Cathedral, Romanesque churches, and glowing bridges on a relaxed two-hour Rhine evening cruise with music and onboard drinks.
“We enjoyed the 2 hour river cruise with an 8pm start time. The sun set a little after 9, so we were able to experience both daylight and night. Our boat had a large open top with lots of tables and seating, as well as a large covered area down below with plenty of windows. There is a bar on each level with quick service and decent prices. They played dance/house music on both levels which was fun. There is no narration or tour guide to point out the sites - just the music. The views are not amazing, but pleasant, and if the weather is nice a 2 hour…”
