“Too long without breaks on the coach. Air con was not turned on properly to save money. The guide was excellent but the tour didn’t work. We expected time at the Danube bend, a church that wasn’t 3/4 covered in scaffolding more than a quick drive around the roundabout in Slovenia and more than 40mins in the artists village before being time pressured to take the final boat back . The boat was excellent the tour guide Katherine was excellent the other guide had such bad BO we all felt quite sick as we were closed into the coach with him. This trip needs more stops and more time in…”

Despite being a six hour return trip the onboard audio is for a different trip, the onboard cafe/bar did not open so there is no chance of a hot drink nor water, there is no information about the toilets nor onboard safety, and the joyless crew barely speak, so do not provide any information about the journey nor the destination.”
