Germany · BOAT TOURS IN THE RHINE VALLEY
Good boat tours in the Rhine Valley fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Cruise from Koblenz past Rhine castles, palaces, and villages on a relaxing two-hour boat tour with English and German commentary.
“Excellent 2 hr boat ride down the Rhein to see the castles and palaces. Cold beer and kuchen was great too!”
Cruise from Rüdesheim past Rhine castles, vineyards, ruins, and the Mouse Tower on a scenic, affordable 105-minute boat tour.
“I enjoyed the castle viewing and story behind each. I didn't care for the 'taxi' mode that we did, as it ate up much time. For the best experience, a longer focused tour would be preferred.”
Cruise from Koblenz to Braubach aboard La Paloma, with Rhine castles, bilingual commentary, onboard food, and fine views for $20.
“Everything was very nice. The only two things I would recommend is turn the volume up for the folks outside. At times it was hard to hear what she was saying. And not everything was in English. So sometimes it was hard to follow. Other than that the trip was absolutely excellent.Highly recommend.”
Cruise Koblenz for 70 minutes past Deutsches Eck, Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, castles, and Old Town views for $16.
“personeel was erg vriendelijk, korte vaart heen en weer op de rijn met uitleg over de historie van oude gebouwen is niet erg spannend.”
Cruise Koblenz and the Rhine for one hour aboard La Paloma, passing castles, fortresses, and river views for $16.
