Wonderful Experience

June

Pros: Interesting places to visit, well organized, excellent food. James was a wonderful guide.

Cons: I wish we had more time at the churches. I also didn't care for the "touristy" vibe at the clockmaking, glassblowing venue.

Recommended: Yes

I loved the time just relaxing on the river as we traveled south, especially when we saw so many castles and heard James explain how the owners used their locations as a way to exact taxes from the ships.

August

Pros: Hospitality, food, ambiance, cleanliness, information..

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

Not only did they pick us up at the airport when we arrived, but, on departure the bussed us to the airport and guided us to our airline counter. Have to rate our overall experience as a 12 on a 10 point scale.

Mixed experience

July
