“We were on the 2-hour tour that departed at noon on Monday, 23 October. I wish I had gotten the name of our tour guide, because he was excellent!

Book your tickets online. It was 22 Euro cheaper for 1 adult and 1 teen online than it was if we had paid on the dock. If the weather is nice, get there a little early so you can sit outside.

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 248 reviews · 2 hours · from $34

Düsseldorf 2-hour Rhine cruise with live DJ, evening city lights, panoramic views, and a bar onboard. Great value for $34.

“Vielleicht lag es am Donnerstag, den wir gebucht hatten + am schlechten Wetter, aber es war leider absolut lahm. Keinerlei Stimmung, niemand getanzt in- oder Outdoor alle saßen Spießig unter sich an ihren Tischen und haben gegessen und gesittet getrunken. Null Stimmung. Alles sehr sehr groß daher verläuft es sich auch sehr. Und wenn man indoor sitzt kann man sobald es dunkel ist nicht mehr wirklich rausgucken da sich alles von innen in den Scheiben spiegelt, man muss also raus. Aber das ist eben nur bei gutem Wetter möglich. Ich würde es nicht nochmal machen.”

We maybe could have taken more opportunities for photos at famous sights but that's probably our fault for not asking. Thanks for a great tour Mike. Would definitely recommend and have already done so.”
