We just returned from Viking's Romantic Danube Cruise from Budapest to Nuremburg and had a wonderful time! We chose this tour because I really wanted to see these cities and our extension to Prague. And we chose Viking because of the cost, it's reputation and the number of years they have sailed and ships that they have. From the very start we were treated like Royalty. Being picked up at the ...
My wife and I wanted to travel the Danube with friends. Viking provides an excellent way to see Europe. The service is first class, the food is excellent, and the tours are wonderful. Guided tours in the morning are very informative, plus there is ample time during the day to explore on your own.
Our flight was delayed enroute. In spite of that, Viking still met us and provided ...
We choose it because we saw Viking had great reviews with many options. We heard sooo much about river crazing and couldn't wait to try it. And the destinations sounded sooo wonderful. We booked this trip about 15 months ahead and we really enjoyed the planning part. Viking reps were fantastic, knowledgeable and patient.
And OMG!!! We were not disappointed! From door to door Viking took very ...
We wanted to see that part of the world where the Danube flows. We loved our room, food, the tours and especially the warm and friendly crew. We can't say enough to compliment these fantastic people or Viking. They thought of everything for our pleasure, comfort and entertainment. The tours were informative, bringing you to a time in history that you only read about. All of the tour guides ...
Except for one thing, the cruise (Castles and Legends Tour) was perfect. Excellent food and service, everything top notch. The boat was very nice and the crew were superb top to bottom. The tour guides were also topnotch, and very well versed for our tours.
Only complaint was one of the optional tours we added, the Vienna Highlights tour. It was about $140 additional per person. Anyone ...
We'd done two previous Viking River Cruises (Amsterdam to Basel and Prague to Paris) and our last tour guide said we absolutely would love the cruise on the Danube, so we took her recommendation. She was right! Budapest is an absolutely fascinating and beautiful city. As always, the food on board was excellent every meal. River cruising has spoiled us for any other kind of trip. The land tours ...
My travel agent recommended it, and he has never steered me wrong, it was a father daughter vacation and we loved every minute of it. The crew, cabin stewards, everything was amazing. I think our favorite spot was Durnstein and Melk. We will definitely travel with Viking again, missed out on the extra days to Salzburg and Munich, but will catch it on another vacation. The food and the theme ...
Actually our trip was longer, we did the Castles & Legends tour which adds two nights in Munich, two nights in Salzburg before taking you to Passau to board the ship. My rating for the cruise portion is definitely five stars - I had a couple of issues w/ the land portion which I attribute to rainy weather(no fault of Viking), the newness of the land portion and logistics, and the Munich hotel ...
We swore we would NEVER do a cruise because we loved traveling at our own pace and seeing what we wanted for as long as we wanted to stay. After being lured by the commercials on Masterpiece Theater on PBS we changed our mind from Never to Maybe to Let's Try It Out. What a great surprise. The cruise was not like planning and executing your own travel plan, but we saw so much more than ...
We chose this cruise to see a different part of Europe from those previously visited.
The cruise and tour were very well coordinated with the staff and crew anticipating our areas of uncertainty and individual needs.
We particularly enjoyed the tour guides in the smaller cities who shared their childhood memories in their home town. Several of them had visited, or lived in the US, which ...
