Worst tour ever!!!, I highly recommend not to book Rhine tours here. My booking was cancelled few hours before departure, and I was offered with other. It is Expensive, meals and tasting offers are really bad and in a single awful place. The same person that drives your to the Rhine is the same that give you the “tasting” (5mml shots). If you want to visit the Rhine, you can better catch a train to Rüdesheim from main station.

We did the day long Rhine Valley boat tour.

TL;DR The river tour is 2 of the 8 hours. Driver is good. You are paying for convince, since they arrange transportation and food. Probably worth it.

The description said an 8 hour tour with lunch included and a wine tasting. All of that is technically correct.

We left Frankfurt in a very nice bus, on time, and drove to Rüdesheim. When we got there the driver/guide took us up to the top of the vineyards for a chair lift ride. This was and additional charge and my pictures are from the off season, but I still don't think it was worth the extra charge.

After we got off the lift we went for lunch. There were two options turkey schnitzel and Vegetarian.
The place we went to had the most eclectic and gawdy display of maritime and wine themes. The food was included, but all drinks and desserts were an additional charge, even water.

Keep in mind this was a river tour and we have now spent about 4 hours driving and eating of our 8 hour tour.

After lunch we walked around for a bit and then made our way to the peir. The boat was nice and the speakers played in German, English, French, Spanish and Japanese. Seeing the Rhine from the river is just amazing. Drinks on board were additional. The boat tour was about 1.5 hours.

The same bus driver picked us up and brought us to the same gawdy place for the "wine tasting". We got one red, two white, and ice wine. Each sample was a thimble size and barely enough to taste. I realize it is a tasting, but this was a thimble.

Finally we drove back to Frankfurt.

The driver was very funny and informative. At this point we spent maybe 2 hours of the river tour on the river. I would say it is worth the cost because of the hassle of getting to Rüdesheim, finding a boat, eating, and getting back is a lot of work. The river tour was over the best part of the Rhine, but a majority of your time is spent traveling.

Booked through the Viator app which ultimately comes through here. I was very pleased with my Rhine River Cruise with these guys! One part we were allotted 25 minutes to do some quick shopping or whatever we wanted to do. Unfortunately I was 10 minutes late and they waited for me. I still feel awful for being so late! Thanks so much for waiting and y’all were so friendly to me and everyone else!

Booked through their website. It was so awesome. George was our driver and showed us around. He was absolutely great and very informative. We felt like we learned so much about this beautiful place Frankfurt. We were on time for everything and he showed us some beautiful spots. I would definitely recommend and if you can, ask for George to show you around!!! Definitely would do again!

I did the hop on/hop off tour bus for €15, which lasted about 30 minutes. Complete waste of money and the audio description was horrible because it didn't relate to the map they gave you.

I also did the Rhine river cruise, which was okay. It included a simple turkey schnitzel and fries and "wine tasting." During winter, it was dark and gloomy. It'd probably be better in Spring/Summer. I paid a little over USD$110 and feel like I paid too much.

The old white man that took my reservation for the cruise was so rude and curt. He was completely clueless about the tour and what was included when I asked him. He rushed me for the purchased and to get me out the door.

Be warned. He also charged me an additional €2.5 for using my credit card. None of the other businesses in Europe charged me extra for using my card.
