Nice tour of the lake. Comfortable boat- upper and lower decks.

We bought the upgrade with the City Train Tour- thought the train tour was a complete waste of time. Wish I'd skipped that. It doesn't go in the old town, and we didn't learn much. Just wasted an hour. Felt the tour on the lake was very good, though. Wasn't wasted time. Great opportunity for photos.

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. We choose 1st Class because of the large number of groups already lining up, and we felt it would be quieter and more relaxing I recommend it whole heartedly. Five Stars.

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.

The route covers many of Lucerne's main highlights, and it's a relaxing way to get oriented without a lot of walking.

Staff were friendly and efficient.

This little train tour is a cute way to see the town of Lucerne pretty quickly (about 45 minutes),…read morebut it does have its drawbacks too. The little blue and white train arrives to pick up the passengers, and you will all get packed in quite tightly. Each row is a two person seat, so if you're with a friend or significant other, just squeeze in together. But I could see it being uncomfortable for two strangers to sit by each other so close. The train car itself is quite low to the ground, so you also sort of feel like you're in a kids' ride at the fair. Aside from the tightness and uncomfortable seating situation, it's actually quite a nice ride around Lucerne in a quick snapshot. You will pass the iconic Chapel Bridge, see lots of cute shops and sights, and ride along the gorgeous Lake Lucerne. There are headphones that give you the facts about what you're seeing as you pass by each spot. The fact that it's an open air, slower rolling train gives you more of a chance to get some good photos. For an affordable price (about 12 CHF), and a good amount of time on the train that you get for that amount, I think it is definitely worth it, even with the few drawbacks I mentioned.
