Everything! Really highly recommended. You see so much more from the boat, and we lucked out with perfect weather too. Very beautiful old paddle steamer, where you can even see the mechanics. Great 👍

The boat ride was very nice, and the sights were varied and interesting. The food and drink menu, on the other hand, was overpriced. But for a 1⅕-hour ride, the value for money is good. Thank you very much.

The tour guide spoke with great enthusiasm about the history of the opera house. It was like a solo performance at the opera. It was a lively narrative.

Ms. Rupp led the tour (Old Town and Semperoper) in great detail and with a sense of humor. She answered our questions, and we would love to book another tour with her. M&W.J
