The boat tour was very nice and the service was good. One big downside was that you sent me all the information in English. Very unfortunate and I will refrain from booking again.

Service and prices on board. Unfortunately you had to download the app to get on board. The gentleman at embarkation was very stubborn.

It was a very nice trip in bright sunshine. The reasonable prices... for the trip and for the food and drinks on board... were reasonable... we will gladly come again.

Take a relaxing 2-hour boat trip down the scenic Rhine River and spot historic castles at this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Ride through the Middle Rhine Valley and see magnificent fortresses like the Lahneck Castle and Stolzenfels Castle overlooking the river.

Do not miss the St John’s Monastery, set in the oldest church of the Middle Rhine, and the All Saints Chapel, a pilgrim site popular since 1671.

Witness the confluence of two rivers, Rhine and Moselle, at the Deutsches Eck followed by the towering medieval-age castles at Martinsburg and Marksburg.

Fun fact: Legend has it that when the Knights Templar were ordered to be disbanded in 1312, the last 12 of them took refuge in Lahneck Castle.

This was a lovely tour and we were especially lucky to have fantastic weather with blue skies and sunshine, so we could enjoy the outside deck. The boat was not too full so you could have private space and it didn't feel crowded. The scenery from Koblenz to Braubach is fantastic and the boat went at a nice speed so you could enjoy it, with informative commentary in both German and English. It's good that there is the option to get off the boat at Braubach if you wish to explore, and take a later boat back.m to Koblenz. I had drinks and lunch on the boat, which were good quality and reasonably priced. There could have possibly been a few more food options considering it was a lunchtime tour. The only downside was that they do not take card payments on the boat. You can buy your boat ticket by card but once on the boat it's cash only which is not helpful and needs to change. It was the only time on my holiday that I've needed euros and the cash point near the dock was the only option, it charged a huge amount in fees and exchange rates. Had I not asked the question before boarding I would not have been able to eat or drink onboard. Overall it was a wonderful tour and I would have rated it higher if card payment was possible, as apart from that it was all run very well.
