This tour was a wonderful experience. TourRadar -- which has already worked to improve a clunky communication system -- has connections to more tours and a greater variety of tours than any other agency, and their easy instalment system was a great convenience. The tour we chose with Lüftner Amadeus on the Eastern Danube is the only one that goes all the way to the Black Sea and therefore takes ten days to get to Vienna rather than the competition's week. The ship is luxurious, the food is exquisite, the service spoils you, and the itineraries and tour guides in the spots we visited were all first rate. Days in the Danube Delta, on the Black Sea, and cruising the Kazan Gorge / Iron Gates were standouts. (We added several days on our own in marvelous Bucharest and Vienna to fill out another week).Show more

Thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary, food, service, associated hotel and of course the Amadeus ship, Cara. Ensure you take appropriate layers to accommodate October temperatures, particularly for the Danube delta trip. The tour provides a brief taste of each of 6 countries' cultures and histories - for possible choice returns. I can't think of anything to be a little critical of relative to our journey and the service received.Show more
