- HBHelen· November 29th, 2024The boat tour was great, staff fantastic my only problem is one of the markets they took us to was not open. But the boat announcer did not let us know that so we got Off at 7pm walking around on a rainy night looking for xmas markets that were not Open. If you want to be sure all markets are Open go a few weeks later.Show moreA-ROSA commented on this reviewDear Helen, thank you for leaving a review for your river cruise on the Rhine!
