All in all, this is a very pleasant little boat ride on a rather impressive boat (a catamaran,…read moreactually) for 10 Euros. It's a very leisurely sojourn south on the Rhine, for about half an hour, and then passing the launch point on the return trip to head a ways north.
It's a smooth ride, and I promise that your beer won't even ripple. There is a canned narration in both German and English, which is really nice, language-wise.
The narration spent way too much time talking about subjects like the uber-expensive soccer-star condos along the shoreline, and not nearly enough time talking about the extraordinary bridges the boat crosses under. The varieties are suspension, truss, and concrete pier. Not one word about those marvelously engineered and absolutely necessary adjuncts to modern civilization.
I might be asking too much. It's just a tourist thingie. Just do it.
