Cannot say enough good things about our tour (Romantic Blue Danube, Prague to Budapest) December 2024. . crew and staff were absolutely great, helpful, friendly. Travel at night, wake up in a different port each day. Guided walking tours in the morning, free time in afternoon (usually). Had a home visit with two teen age brothers and their grandmother in Bratislava which was almost worth the entire trip. Guided us through the Budapest airport on departure, Very useful. Very social trip, lots of interaction with other passengers. Toured a concentration camp in Austria, classical concert in Vienna. Met one guy who was doing his 23rd Grand Circle tour. food was good to excellent, fine dining atmosphere. Perfectly seamless travel arrangements. Too much to describe. Will certainly tour again.

OMG not sure where to start.
A friend & I started talking about Christmas market river cruises sometime in 2017 after we met at the communities dog park. I postponed mine, they canceled her trip while she was in Munich due to high water. They rebooked hers & i got to join her.
It was amazing & highly recommend. Our Program Director was wonderful, we lucked out being in his group.
The people enjoyed the food, while they bent over backwards to make sure I would be able to enjoy too.
Have met people who have traveled with them for years and still enjoy.
You won’t be sorry.

We went on the Romantic Blue Danube, River Adagio Cruise (twin ship Aria) as our first river cruise and loved it! The experience far exceeded our expectations and we even made some new friends.

The program directors kept us informed regarding each destination’s activities but we were also free to go off script and visit any area in more depth. We were reminded that this was our vacation and we should choose what we wanted and enjoy it! It was easy to walk or catch public transportation from each stop making it possible to occasionally enjoy lunch at local restaurants after the tours.

There was great variety between the local guides and evening programs; all providing cultural and historical insight to the four countries visited. We would have missed all of this if we had travelled on our own.

We sough out restaurants in Prague and would recommend reservations at both Kuchyn, in Prague Castle district, and Zvonice, in a bell tower. Vienna was full of museums and we could have easily stayed another day. In Vienna we left the tour prior to entering St. Steven’s Cathedral and visited a coffeehouse. When we went back to the Cathedral mass was starting so we heard the organ playing! Wonderful.

The staff were lovely and generous. Their kindness and enthusiasm added to our experience without a doubt! Thank you Grand Circle for the first of many wonderful river cruises.
