Nice, scenic cruise along... - Nice, scenic cruise along the Rhine from Koblenz down to Marksburg castle. It was not crowded, so there was plenty of seating both covered and uncovered. Full food/drink service was available. Pre-recorded narration in both German and English was informative.

Fantastic getaway! - Fantastic to discover the city from the water! Were with two children aged 4 and 6 and the idea of going on a boat is already nice! Food and drinks were very good. And if it is hot, it is good to stay on the water!

Lovely River Excursion - A lovely, slow-paced river excursion. Narration of the major points of interest were helpful. Service by the crew was excellent. It was a pleasant way to explore sights along the Rhine.

Only positive things to report! - We are from the Eifel region and recently spent a nice weekend in Koblenz. That was when we rode the La Paloma for the first time. On board were my parents, my husband, my son, and me. We were welcomed very warmly and felt comfortable from the very beginning. Our needs were also kindly accommodated. Of course, it was very hot that weekend, so our son was a bit fussier than usual. That is to be expected in this heat. But at no point did we experience an unpleasant atmosphere or unfriendly behavior, as was described in a review further down here. We had booked a sightseeing tour and were out for just under two hours. The staff was very friendly, we had a delicious meal, had something to drink, and our little one also had fun on the children's play ship. He was even allowed to visit the captain. That was, of course, his absolute highlight. We were completely satisfied and would book a trip again on our next visit to Koblenz.

Missed opportunity - Unfortunately, we were kicked out of the system after question 11 and couldn't finish the trip. Understood in advance that it would be around 3 km. After 11 questions (out of 18) we were already at 7km. To see when you have your parents with you over 80. We deliberately chose a short but informative route.
