    Excellent except for giuded tour in English in Köln. Guide's English was not good enough and she could not makea good narrative. Köln, generally could be skipped for something else, not very attractive. Vegetarian food was ok, but not excellent; lacking a bit of phantasy. It usually does not work so well to just replace the piece of meat with something like egg. One needs to create another dish. Also necessary information about that we eat vegetarian was not passed to the kitchen, so they had to improvise on the first day.

    The food was generally excellent; the exception being the German meal. The bratwurst and knackwurst were overcooked and dry. Cabins were clean, beds were comfortable. It was nice to be able to open the window and breath in fresh air along the Rhine. Visiting the small cities along the Rhine was nice. Jose at reception was very helpful in helping us navigate the transit from dock to city center.
