    Really appreciated the combination of cruising and hiking, plus excursions for non-hikers so they weren't neglected. Accommodated food needs creatively, although the gluten-free option - while better than previous experience with CroisiEurope - could still be improved. More gluten-free chocolate croissants! Nice selection of evening entertainment. Never a dull moment; but one was able just to sit and read or watch the scenery go by if wanted. Although we choose CroisiEurope partly for the French immersion experience, being paired with other English speakers at meals worked very well. Our American compatriots were grateful to have English-speaking companions, and for us it relieved the intensity that would have been entailed by full French immersion. Thanks for organizing perfect weather! ;-)

    This was not a tour I can recommend if you like flexibility. Being forced to sit at the same table each meal without having to choose one's fellow diners in the first place was not pleasant. Staff were rude and unhelpful, happy to stand and watch without ever offering assistance. Itinerary was good and saved the tour from scoring even less.

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • CroisiEurope River CruisesOperatorWritten February 2025

      Due to the popularity of the Douro during May, this itinerary is completely sold out. Would you like us to find you an alternative?

    • K

      Kathryn

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      Yes please - anything that is an actual cruise on the river for several days.

    • CroisiEurope River CruisesOperatorWritten February 2025

      We wanted to let you know that due to the Douro being a very popular and fast-selling river, single cabins tend to sell out extremely quickly as they are in high demand. While we had identified one available single cabin with one of our luxury operators, it unfortunately sold out while we were in the process of providing you with this information.

      Numbers to be finalised but yes, we have five couples and one single in the party.

    • CroisiEurope River CruisesOperatorWritten February 2025

      Due to the popularity of the Douro the operator has advised this itinerary is sold out for September. They do single cabins on request basis only.

      Caroline

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      The cruise is too long (8 days) and it cuts across something else that we have organised after 6th September. When I go on to the tour website, it still says that there are 10+ spaces available, and in fact I could have booked it now if I wanted to, so I'm not sure where you are getting your information that it is sold out?
