The service on board is super friendly and helpful. Although individual buildings are commented on during the journey, you also have some peace and quiet in between and can just look around. This makes the whole trip very relaxed.

The boat trip was a nice break on a hot day - the food was okay to good. Due to the location, you shouldn't expect too many sightseeing highlights, as you also pass some places where there are only trees or not so exciting buildings... but there are a few things; I personally enjoyed seeing the Hundertwasser complex in Spittelau from the boat, which I hadn't seen before.
