Fabulous holiday from start to finish. We loved the busyness and excitement of the rail travel. The hotels on route were excellent and a variety of styles - food was excellent too. The ship was outstanding and the staff worked incredibly hard and were very attentive and friendly. The tour was well thought out and managed well. The excursions and guides were equally of high quality.

Too many long train journeys. Paid a lot ventral for balcony which we couldn't use much because of double mooring. Boat deck needed more chairs and tables. Food and service very good but didnt like always having to eat at 7pm it is too early for us.

a wonderful introduction to amazing european cities. i want to spend more time in Prague and Budapest but also Bratislava and Vienna. The train journeys were exciting but the Danube cruise was so luxurious I was blown away. It wasn't the cheapest but it was great value for money. Wake up to the river running past your window knowing you would have a sumptuous breakfast with your friends. Do not expect to lose weight, however many walking tours you go on. I loved it.
