    · June 2nd, 2025
    The boat, the crew, the food and the itinerary were all excellent. I also enjoyed very much our tour in northern Romania, particularly Transylvania. However, the excursions were all a bit similar: always a church, a fortress, a monastery (if there was one), but no chance to see any art galleries or other cultural outlets. There was also scarcely any time to buy essential goods, such as medicines, as we almost never went near any shops, except to walk past a few bars and restaurants, mostly. I caught a kind of flu with upset stomach too, so it was not until the last day in Croatia (Ozijeck)

    Es war alles toll organisiert. Trotzdem waren wir enttäuscht, weil wir nicht zum Donaudelta gefahren sind. Das war unser eigentlicher Reisegrund.

    The river cruise was an excellent way to visit Vienna and Budapest on a tight schedule, and to visit other less known places like Melk, Dürnstein and Esztergom. The crew of the Mona Lisa were always eager to please us, and we found the cabins, bar and restaurant very pleasant. Even though the majority of the passengers were French, the cruise crew always gave the instructions also in English. All in all, great experience!
