Our river tour from Amsterdam to Budapest with Travel Marvel was simply exceptional. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that we will never forget. The entire crew was outstanding — the Hotel Manager’s warm professionalism, the Tour Manager’s energy and knowledge, the Kitchen Manager and culinary team’s delicious meals, and the attentive service staff who made every moment feel special. The excursions were well-organised, the onboard activities were fun, and the music group added magic to every evening. We truly enjoyed every part of this journey.Show more

The cabins were nice, the staff were very good, the food was delicious, the tours were interesting, and the Cruise Director, in particular, was excellent. Would not recommend going as a single traveller, however, as vast majority were couples or friends travelling together, so it was quite cliquey with the same people sitting together at meals, especially dinner. Plus, it was 90% Australians and Kiwis, and a broader mix of nationalities would have made it more interesting. The best part was seeing all of the various cities and towns along the rivers. Very nice trip overall.Show more
