Review of Budapest to Regensberg

May

Pros: Interesting excursions led by excellent tour guides, food was good, met a lot of interesting people

Cons: Dinner was served at 7:30 - 8:00 pm - much too late for me. So many people crowded in the dining room produced a dull roar

Recommended: Yes

Two seatings for dinner would be better than one. Wish there could have been more entertainment in the evening - maybe local people singing folk songs or playing traditional music Would have liked more lectures about the areas we visited

Ryan Anniversary Trip

October

Pros: Free air - package price - itinerary - food - excellent service

Cons: Terrible wifi

Recommended: Yes

This was our second Viking river cruise. The food and service was excellent. All the tour guides were very knowledgeable. There was something for everyone's interests. Would highly recommend Viking for anyone interested in river cruising.

Great Experience

October

Pros: Meals, staff, tours, accomodations, scenery

Cons: shower stall size

Recommended: Yes

I'm being picky about the shower stall, a small inconvenience considering everything else was "Top of the Line"! Regional dinner meals were outstanding, especially the soups. The staff were always accommodating, friendly and fun. The included tours were more than we expected - educational, well-managed and tour guides were exceptional. The Danube is truly a beautiful river with excellent port visits (Regensburg was our favorite surprise!). We did have to change ships due to the river level and Viking managed it almost seamlessly. Yes, we had to pack and unpack and rise an hour earlier, but by the end of day it was a non-event. Well done!

Don and Loretta sail away in Europe

October

Pros: The staff were amazing. Good food.

Cons: Two raw rainy days. National holidays in Hungary and Austria - closed shops

Recommended: Yes

This was a great trip. We met a lot of really nice people, and had a great time. The program director (Boris) was a total stitch. It was interesting to watch the ship sail through the various locks on the Danube. We didn't get a chance to shop a lot in Budapest or Salzburg due to the fact that the days we were there were national holidays in the respective countries and the shops were closed. We had a great time regardless. Very attentive personal service.
