Accommodation and food on board also excellent, a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. Collected by Great Rail Journeys Mr M Warrick Submitted 11 Jun 2018 The usual high standard with Great Rail Journeys. We like that it was First Class rail travel, we liked the ship and its crew, and were well looked-after by our Tour Manager. There were just enough included activities with plenty more we could have chosen if we had wanted to be more active (but we didn't: I'm not retired yet and needed to rest!). We went to places we'd never been before and met some wonderful people. Collected by Great Rail Journeys Mr J Warburg Submitted 10 Jun 2018 The whole experience for my wife and I was great. Maybe a bit to much trains for my wife! Still the boat was amazing. We could have happily gone further. Maybe you could include Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia and Croatia in the next one and we would go again. Collected by Great Rail Journeys Mr A Lewis Submitted 14 Aug 2017 Hotel not up to standard in Nuremberg. 1300 start of holiday and late arrival at Cologne inconvenient as only 15 minutes between arrival and evening meal. Collected by Great Rail Journeys Mr R Jones Submitted 10 Aug 2017 Excellent tour manager, very comfortable boat, excellent dining, delightful fellow passengers/travellers. Collected by Great Rail Journeys Mr F Watton Submitted 09 Jul 2017 Good Value. River Boat cruise was excellent the food was good quality. The cabin was very comfortable and it was nice to actually have a double bed ! all of your staff worked very hard and were friendly and polite, they deserve to be well paid, they are your most important asset without them your efforts would be pointless. The boats cleanliness was first rate. The local tour guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. We would have liked more time to explore Budapest. The evening cruise was magical Collected by Great Rail Journeys Cruise in Europe 2022 Start experiencing the unique waterways of Europe.
