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.

The information about Dusseldorf. But we hated the rest stop for the drivers on Koningsallee. No place to sit while waiting for the bus. In genetal there need to be mor benches at busstops. I am disabled and the drivets did not lower the ramps. Also no chargin points on the buses.

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.
