The trip was great. The guide in Bratislava could have moved faster. We actually left the tour after 30 minutes and toured ourselves. The highlight of the trip is the boat ride back.

Everything was perfect, even the weather! We were treated to four meals, a pleasant and relaxing cruise, and a wonderful stay in Dürnstein. A few minor downsides: in the area where our table was located, the air conditioning was set very high; we had to cover ourselves with jackets and there was a draft. In the other parts of the ship and on deck, it was pleasant and much warmer. A few lounge chairs and armchairs on deck would have been nice, too. But those are minor details. Overall, everything was wonderful.
