The approximately one-hour tour was absolutely fine for someone like me, who didn't know Düsseldorf, to get an initial overview. The section of the Rhine that is navigated is logically not overly long, but you pass some of the most important sections and sights up and down the old town. In addition, announcements inform you about what you have seen and provide a few facts and information about both historic and "modern" Düsseldorf.

It was great tour, even though it was raining while boarding it stopped when we start it. The velocity of the cruise was perfect to admire the best spots for enough time to take pictures or just be mesmerized by the architecture. Also that it takes us so close to the tower makes it great cause it's an invitation to also see Düsseldorf from the sky. Service on board was right on point and fast. Experience overall 10/10.

Lovely 1 hr cruise down the Rhein, perfect place to relax and enjoy the views, drink and food on the boat, which was immaculate and staff very friendly, just wished we'd had time to book the 2 hour night cruise, I think that would have been beautiful at night. Would recommend.

Enjoy a 1-hour panoramic tour through the River Rhine and sightsee the beautiful city of Düsseldorf.

Listen to comments about all the interesting sights that you cruise past through an audio commentary in English and German.

See landmarks such as the Old Town lined with cafes, the 240.5-meter-high Rhine Tower, and the ruins of Kaiserpfalz Kaiserswerth.

Liven up your cruise at the onboard bar – buy a Kölsch, a glass of wine, a hot coffee, or enjoy a sweet or savory snack as you sail the Rhine.

Fun Fact: Düsseldorf is mentioned in the famous US- series ‘The Simpsons!’ It is the hometown of the German exchange student wearing Lederhosen.

Well organized, prompt, amazingly clean including toilets. Only travels a short distance but worth the time for first time visitors. Hard to hear narrator when going under a bridge so would recommend a top side seat near a speaker. Go early in your visit
