Nice and calm experience with a Viennese sacher tart and a cup of tea while moving through Danube canal and hearing/seeing about some of the must knows. We loved the experience and the staff was very friendly.

A pleasantly cool atmosphere, since we were in Vienna during a heat wave. There were announcements about the buildings along the riverbank. Friendly service in the dining area.

The ride was very pleasant and not too crowded; the service was good. I would recommend this tour to tourists who aren’t familiar with Vienna because it isn’t too long either.

It's a special experience to see your own city from a new perspective. The apple pie and coffee were delicious, and the service was excellent and friendly.

Enjoy a 75-minute Danube Canal sightseeing cruise, an easy way to see Vienna from the water without planning routes or changing public transport.

See landmarks and graffiti art along the Danube Canal, watching Vienna's walls and neighborhoods line the water throughout the cruise.

Upgrade to options that include a Viennese lunch (menu attached), schnitzel, apple strudel with a hot drink, or unlimited prosecco.

Overall, everything was very well organized from the start, and the Danube cruise was very relaxing and made even better by the waiter's attentive service.

Good organization, nice boat. You don't see the classic sights, but rather beautiful spots off the beaten path.

The boat tour is okay. Unfortunately, there is very little of beautiful Vienna to see along the banks of the Danube, but lots of concrete instead.
