I booked thru Tour Radar but it was “Ex-Pat” tours who provided the tour, actually; I was not as well informed of the logistics of the trip had I booked with Ex-Pat directly. It was a whirlwind tour, well organized & implemented. The weather was understandably chilly; the sights & experiences memorable. Emphasis on good footwear can not be overstated. Have a plan for your free time or anticipate reasonable extra costs. Guide & driver were super! Ty
- SPECTACULAR RHINE, Cologne – Strasbourg-Basel – Cologne
This was a great cruise overall. In particular the staff were fantastic, the food provided was plentiful and delicious, the stops chosen, tours given and tour guides provided were excellent and the boat was lovely. There were also a few negatives though. In particular I really objected to being charged €10 for 1Gb or 1 day whichever expired first for relatively slow WiFi. We've been travelling around the world now since March. We've been To 28 countries and stayed at 92 different hotels and hostels, some very basic. Every single one, with the only exception of the Crucivita, offered free WiFi. It wasn't always fast or reliable but it was always free. On our cruise, my wife and I found ourselves skipping parts of the tours in Strasbourg, Heidelberg, Cologne and Amsterdam so we could catch up with events on social.media when we walked through free WiFi hotspots in cities, often near cafes but sometimes not. I started really resenting having to do that. It left a bad taste in my mouth that the cruise tried to get money from.us in this way. Another problem was the fixed seating arrangements for lunch. The four Americans we shared a table with 15 times throughout the week were nice folk but it really put a strain on our civility when we found out, half way through, that they were Trump supporters. It would be good if there was an option to sit at a table of your choice for some meals or something. Finally, our room was towards the back end of the boat and so we had the engine noise pretty bad some nights. But overall, it was great. Thank you.

Our tour guide was excellent as well as the driver. Always making sure we were enjoying ourselves, did we need anything, very kind. The tour was very busy but that is to be expected when covering so many countries in a short period of time
