This was our first cruise trip ever and this one was FANTASTIC!! We did not book any excursions prior to the trip, but joined in on two. As 'younger' people on the boat, it's SO much nicer to navigate the cities without waiting for 40+ 'older' people. It was good to have the option!! The food and service on the 'Beethoven' was FANTASTIC!!!!... Read More

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour guidé avec Wingbuddy. Tout s'est bien déroulé. Les chambres du bateau étaient petites mais confortables. La nourriture variée et délicieuse. Les tours guidés ont été très informatifs, exécutés à l'heure. La navigation se déroulait calmement le fleuve n'étant pas très ''houleux''. Nous avons réservé une chambre au pont supérieur et nous étions bien contents car le bateau étant plus petit, quelques passagers des étages inférieures ont été dérangés par le bruit des moteurs du bateau qui naviguait la nuit. Étant à ma première expérience avec vous, j'avais une légère appréhension bien normale, mais je recommande votre agence sans réserve. ... Read More

This was my first solo river cruise and was as little anxious when a I booked the tour. My plane was delayed and was pleasantly surprised when my private transfer to the hotel was waiting for me in Vienna. All the transfers were on time and very professional. The boat, accommodations & the staff were amazing. Lunch and dinner meals were plated, based on French and regional gastronomy. The meals were fabulous, (3 to 4 courses), pared with excellent wine and by chance if you did not want something the staff would prepare you a alternate meals. The excursions were well run, a little on the short side but having to be on schedule, understandable. Would I book another river cruise? Yes and I would defiantly use WingBuddy again, in fact I have for a Greek Island tour in October.... Read More

This was our first cruise trip ever and this one was FANTASTIC!! We did not book any excursions prior to the trip, but joined in on two. As 'younger' people on the boat, it's SO much nicer to navigate the cities without waiting for 40+ 'older' people. It was good to have the option!! The food and service on the 'Beethoven' was FANTASTIC!!!!... Read More

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour guidé avec Wingbuddy. Tout s'est bien déroulé. Les chambres du bateau étaient petites mais confortables. La nourriture variée et délicieuse. Les tours guidés ont été très informatifs, exécutés à l'heure. La navigation se déroulait calmement le fleuve n'étant pas très ''houleux''. Nous avons réservé une chambre au pont supérieur et nous étions bien contents car le bateau étant plus petit, quelques passagers des étages inférieures ont été dérangés par le bruit des moteurs du bateau qui naviguait la nuit. Étant à ma première expérience avec vous, j'avais une légère appréhension bien normale, mais je recommande votre agence sans réserve. ... Read More

This was my first solo river cruise and was as little anxious when a I booked the tour. My plane was delayed and was pleasantly surprised when my private transfer to the hotel was waiting for me in Vienna. All the transfers were on time and very professional. The boat, accommodations & the staff were amazing. Lunch and dinner meals were plated, based on French and regional gastronomy. The meals were fabulous, (3 to 4 courses), pared with excellent wine and by chance if you did not want something the staff would prepare you a alternate meals. The excursions were well run, a little on the short side but having to be on schedule, understandable. Would I book another river cruise? Yes and I would defiantly use WingBuddy again, in fact I have for a Greek Island tour in October.... Read More

This cruise was our very first cruise of any kind. We didn't know what to expect since we've never done a cruise before, but this cruise was great! We had a great time! The ship crews were amazing, helpful and friendly. They made this cruise fun, memorable and hassle free. After the cruise we went to Istanbul, Turkey which the people at Wingbuddy arranged everything for us. Thank you Wingbuddy! ... Read More
