- ⚠️ Boat companies operate multiple boats of one or two main types.
You cannot choose the type of boat, the company decides based on technical constraints and weather conditions. - ⚠️ In certain weather conditions, particularly when the river level is high, boats with a top deck may have it closed.
- ⚠️ There are no assigned seats, it’s on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you want a good outdoor seat, especially during high season in summer, consider arriving early. - Time slots are during daytime.
- Departure point depends on the day and reserved time.
- Cruises offer an audio guide and/or a live guide, but don’t expect outstanding content or high audio quality.
It’s a sightseeing cruise, not a cultural tour. - There may be snack or drink options available.
