    Es war alles toll organisiert. Trotzdem waren wir enttäuscht, weil wir nicht zum Donaudelta gefahren sind. Das war unser eigentlicher Reisegrund.

    I thought the trip was very good. The room had plenty of room for two woman sharing the room with lots of cupboards and shelving to put things. The food was excellent, and lots of it. The boat was very clean. The only thing we found was there was only about 16 English speaking people on board and on the tours they mostly catered to the French speaking patrons. We had to complain several times about this issue, and finally they had an Engllish speaking guide for the English on several of th tours.
