I wanted to try a riverboat cruise. I love Europe and had never been to Germany, Austria or Hungary. I wanted to see the cities there, especially Vienna. I wanted a full guided experience. I did not want to have to worry about finding places to eat or to get transportation on our own.

I really enjoyed the meals and the convenience of being in one room for the whole week. It was nice to be with a group that was large but not overwhelming. We were well taken care of.

I think I would have liked a little more time in the cities, but realize that we had to be moving each day. The scenery was amazing and the towns very charming and different from home. The weather was fine and even though the river was too high for us to arrive by boat in Regensberg and Nuremburg, we got to see these wonderful cities. The many churches and abbeys that we visited were highlights that really put the icing on the cake for me. I have so many special memories now and I think about my trip every day.
