We wanted to visit Budapest where my husband's Mother was born & heard rave reviews about the European river cruises. The cruise was very relaxing and all of the food & drink was excellent. We liked that we had the choice of eating in the main dining room or the bistro for lunch & dinner. All of the walking tours as well as all of the extra tours that were included were very informative and gave us a much better understanding of the history of the regions we visited. We especially like the convenience of having the bicycles on board so we could explore on our own. We felt that all of the staff members were extremely friendly and always willing to answer any questions we had. The only thing that could be improved on was the main dining room, it was hard to hear the other guests talking to us due to the acoustics.
