The cruise is very pleasant, they were punctual with the departure time and we had a nice view of the Main River, however, I had a bad taste because we booked an option with comments about the city and it was impossible to hear the speaker with the guide. What bothered me the most was that when I told the young woman at the window, she got upset and told me that this was due to the place where we sat, something that was not mentioned to us and that does not seem like it should limit us from enjoying the view. I would recommend devices for audio guides, or like some museums, an app from which you can access the audio of the comments of interest.

This is SO worth the money. I would do this every morning if I could. There is food and drink on the boat for purchase so no need to bring anything. Book the 100 minute tour so you can enjoy your food if you order anything. The commentary is nice and when it’s good weather this makes for an amazing activity.

Was a very relaxing trip down the river. We chose the 100 minute cruise thinking it might be too long but it wasn't. The service on board was excellent as was the lady at the ticket office who allowed us to get the earlier boat as we had arrived much earlier than we expected not knowing Frankfurt and had made our booking online. My only criticism would be to have shelter/umbrellas on the top level, we ended up sitting inside so we didn't get burnt. The same would be if the weather was bad/raining.
