It's one of the most beautiful scenic boat rides we did. Europass eurial had discounts to this route. We did first class with more spacious decks than second. Overall, it doesn't matter.

We sailed on the Paddle Wheel Steamer Stadt Rapperswil, which had just celebrated her 101st birthday. The cruise was smooth and comfortable, and the crew could not have been nicer.

Gray Line offers several tours, with some combination of trolly tour, lift, and / or boat tours…read more The tour we chose was the 2 hour trolly only tour, called the Zurich Trolly Experience City Tour, for CHF 34 per person. There were two stops, ten-minutes at Hafen Enge Kiosk, on Lake Zurich, and 15-minutes at the Fraumunster Church, which gave plenty of time to see the Marc Chagall windows. I enjoyed the tour. Tour narration is available in eight languages, including English -- each person using a personal headset -- and audio worked flawlessly. The bus -- built to resemble a trolly car -- was comfortable and clean, the windows were spotless, and were open wide because it was a warm day. Our driver, Walter, did a good job operating the audio and driving the bus, but was flat otherwise. To be fair to Walter, it is hard to have flair when the bus is filled with strangers, speaking several different languages, as well as contending with Zurich Old Town traffic. The ticket booth is located at, and all tours depart from, the SihlquaiI Bus Terminal, located 200 meters behind the Zurich main train station. Five Stars.

I'm not quite sure why AmaWaterways shows up under Building Supplies, as we took a Danube River…read morecruise on their Ama Sonata, and that is the subject of this review. While this was our first river cruise (after several ocean cruises), we were very pleasantly surprised, and are extremely likely to not only take more river cruises, but in all likelihood, will do so on one of AmaWaterways' ships. Our particular cruise began in Budapest, with a night in port in that lovely city, which included a sailing up and down the Danube to view the city by night--it is simply magnificent, with all the buildings lit up. We then sailed up the Danube, with stops in Bratislava, Vienna (overnight there), Durnstein and Melk in one day, Linz, Passau, and ending in Vilshofen. From that city, most passengers went on by bus (included in price) to Prague, with a stop in Regensburg. A smaller number of passengers took a bus (also included in price) to Munich. There were capacity-controlled tours included in every city, with each passenger getting a receiver enabling all passengers to hear the tour guide easily, even from 50' or more away. Bicycle tours were offered in three cities, and there were only two optional tours that had additional costs (we attended one, a concert in Vienna at a cost of roughly $125-$130/person, and well worth it). Food on the ship was very good, with an emphasis on local cuisine at each stop. Beer and wine were complementary with all meals, although upgraded wines, along with mixed drinks, were at the passenger's expense. (Prices were reasonable.) With only roughly 160 passengers on board, it's econically infeasible to have big entertainment, but we did enjoy some local folklore dancers, along with a classical music trio, and a June Oktoberfest (on a 90-degree evening) in Regensburg. Other nights we were treated to a keyboard player with a wide range of selections. Considering that the average passenger's age was probably somewhere near the age of dirt, there wasn't much dancing. The entire crew was very friendly, extremely service-oriented and eager to please. We enjoyed getting to know most of the staff and learning a little Romanian, Hungarian, Slovakian, German and a couple of other languages. We truly loved the cities and towns where we stopped, and highly recommend this line, particularly if you don't mind being with an older group, most of whom are very sharp.

This…read moretime also I went with my students, the subject that day was "Tourism", so it was fitting to ride the City Train. Students get a special price. Just 5CHF a person. A great deal. Even including a pair of headphones that you can keep at the end of the ride. Staff here always does an amazing job. Always very friendly, in good mood and providing some extra info and entertainment. The ride goes along many big sights of course. But also a part is in the "Neustadt" (the newer part of town). I found that very nice, also to show a bit lesser known and popular parts of the city. The ride takes 45mins. There were many seats empty, even though it was a picture perfect sunny day. You can just show up and hope for empty seats or pre-book on their website. For bigger groups surely a thing you should consider. Even if you make a reservation, you pay when you arrive - no payment needed in advance. The audio guide offers a big number of languages, also a kid-friendly guide in german. The train rides also on wet days, but of course it's a lot more fun on a sunny day. It's well worth the price. The guides do a great job here. We will definitely be back.
