    We really enjoyed the cruise. Disappointed we did not get to see Budapest at night, as the boat could not get there. Some tours did not cater for English speakers very well. Overall it was very good.

    The ship was beautiful as was my stateroom. The food was excellent. The staff spoke English, some well, some broken. We were a group of six among eight Americans. The passengers were mostly European, however I felt very comfortable

    Excellent!. The boat was great and the crew was incredible. Smooth as silk. The tours were a bit disappointing since the guide spoke totally in German. The food on the boat was amazing. A slight disappointment was that the passengers weren't all Vaxxed. (just needed a 3-day test). This caused Slovakia to close Bratislava to us. They tried to punt with a tour from Mainburg to Bratislava. But, it was disappointing. Everything else was fabulous. The crew were fantastic. Larry M.

    Tour Radar was very easy to work with. Anytime we had questions, they contacted ARosa for the answers. ARosa was very clean, kept with all Covid 19 guidelines. We never felt that we could be exposed to the virus. The only issue was the language. We took 2 tours that were completely in German. We did receive a 1/2 price discount, but had no idea what we were looking at or any history about the building or history. There were 8 Americans aboard. We did meet other passengers who spoke English as well as German. Most people that we interacted with in the countries spoke enough English that wasn’t an issue. We all came away with loving the Tour.
