Great value for €10.80, The 50min tour was good, went very quick and ypu only get to see the lower half of the river..the service and food was very good indeed and average price as you would expect to pay. Nice to sit back and relax so i would highly recommend.

A very pleasant and insightful cruise, lots of scenery and the comfortable voyage on both legs. On board staff is friendly and professional, a good choice of snacks and beverages if u want something to eat or drink. Would recommend, a great way to spend an hour or 2 one morning or afternoon!

It was a nice boat trip, but I found the volume of the narrator very low, as it was sometimes swallowed up by the background noise and you couldn't understand everything. The crew was very nice and helpful. However, I also had the feeling that the hygiene regulations were not implemented. Not everyone wore a mask while walking around and some did not hand in a completed slip of paper. But it was once an experience that was really good in the beautiful weather.
