Customer Reviews
- Annette· September 14th, 2024Tour advertised as 6-day tour but in fact the first day we were provided with hotel accommodation only. The second day was largely free time as well. Pre-accommodation in Budapest was difficult to organise having been provided with the name of our hotel only a few weeks before departure. As we arrived in Budapest a few days prior to the commencement of the tour, by the time we were advised of the name of our hotel, it was completely booked and we were forced to find alternate accommodation. Discussions with other travellers (who booked with Globus) advised their cost was lower than ours by quite a substantial amount - plus, they were provided with higher level accommodation on the boat. So, for us, TourRadar seems like an overpriced broker and we would not choose to deal with TourRadar again. The boat trip was really enjoyable, great food, great staff and the room perfectly satisfactory.Show more
- Klaus· July 28th, 2024ship was excellent, food and drinks were great, adventures perfectly organized,all crew members were extremely friendly and helpful. One person was outstanding and needs to be mentioned: our cruise director GAYLE. She was just outstanding and the best we ever experienced.Show more
- Laurence· June 18th, 2024Although we did not actually do the river cruise because of high water levels, we were taken on excursions by coach.Show more

Asked on April 20th, 2023What is the main nationality of tourists on board
- Avalon WaterwaysOperator•Written April 2023
In general, Avalon Waterways is a popular cruise line among English-speaking countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. That being said, Avalon Waterways is a global cruise line that attracts passengers from all over the world, so it is likely that you would encounter a diverse group of nationalities on board.

Asked on March 30th, 2023Can you please advise if this tour has the date 19th of May available? And for the cabin, the travellers prefer having the window, and on the higher deck, where it will eliminate the number of stairs.
- Avalon WaterwaysOperator•Written March 2023
The only cabin category that still has availability is Category P Cabins. I've updated the pricing on the left side of this page to reflect 2 travellers in a Category P Twin (200 ft², Wall-to-Wall Panoramic Window with Open-Air Balcony) on Royal Deck onboard the Avalon Passion departing on 09th May 2023.

Asked on February 24th, 2022Do we book our own air and transfers from airport to hotel? What about tips for each excursion, separate or included in original cost?
- Avalon WaterwaysOperator•Written February 2022
With Avalon normally you book your own flights separately but we can always check on a flight quote for you once you place a booking for the cruise. Airport transfers are normally included if you book flights with Avalon and arrive the day the cruise starts and finish the day the cruise ends. If you do not book flights with Avalon the transfers do come at an extra cost. Tips are not included and would need to be added on your own. 5 - 7 dollars per person per day is normally the recommended amount. If you wanted to tip excursion staff as well that is at your own discretion.
