Went on a Rhine cruise July 2018 with my husband and our two daughters, 14 and 16. It was a great introduction to multiple countries and towns/cities with all the hard parts taken care of! Food, lodging and major excursion decisions were covered. And the crew of the Tialfi went out of their way to exceed all expectations. The food was amazing and they always made something extra or special for the girls. The rooms were very comfortable and more than roomy for us. And the included excursions (as well as the extra excursions/adventures that were offered and that we took advantage of) were a big hit with everyone on the family. All our tour guides were well informed and entertaining. We also had plenty of time to go exploring on our own each day to make our own excursions, become more immersed in the culture, try some local delicacies etc. A great family vacation.
