Customer Reviews
- LHLaurence· June 18th, 2024Although we did not actually do the river cruise because of high water levels, we were taken on excursions by coach.Show moreTrip date: June 2024
- DDeannedrivergmailcom· March 27th, 2021They have canceled our cruise twice and refuse to give us our refund. Dishonest holding our money after we rebooked in good faith. Now I never want to travel with them ever!!! Beware even with insurance and them canceling they will steal your money.Show moreTrip date: March 2021
- AJAlgis· April 25th, 2019I think local tour guides should not completely negatively emphasise communist ruling times, since it sounds as they present much worse then fasism of war period. Socialistic period for those countries had also some positive features, as free education, etc. I know that from my experience since I lived in Soviet era.Show moreTrip date: April 2019
