The trip was fantastic; you did a wonderful job organizing it. The trains and the hotels were walking distances, and it was great. It was wonderful to get to the train stations, and our seats were pre booked. During the tours we just walked pass the long lines of people waiting to get into the sites. 😊. The tours were very informative and interesting. The ladies spoke English very well and my husband and I enjoyed talking to them later in Italian.

My clients often ask which river cruise line is “the best.” But "the best" line is really just the one that fits how you like to travel.These are reasons why I'd recommend @Riverside-Luxury-Cruises as the best fit for a client:→ You care about service more than anything. Riverside runs a 1:1 staff-to-suite ratio, and every suite has a dedicated butler. It feels more like a boutique hotel than a traditional cruise.→ Food is a big part of the trip for you. Cuisine is one of the things they’re best known for.→ You don’t have two weeks. Sailings start at 3 nights, so it’s easy to fit into any schedule or pair with a longer European land trip.→ You’d rather not add up extras at dinner. Most guests go with the all-inclusive package with excursions and just enjoy the trip.Who it’s probably not for: anyone seeking big-ship entertainment, a river cruise outside of Europe, or budget travelers.Thinking about a European river cruise in 2027 or 2028? Send me a note and we’ll figure out which line fits you. ...
