“I must say we really enjoyed Siegfried's Mechanical Museum in Rudesheim. That place is uniquely spectacular and so interesting. ”
“Our Vienna experience was amazing! Our horse-drawn carriage ride through the city center brought all the feel of pomp & circumstance to life. As you are on the ride you can imagine the royalty that was in Vienna throughout the centuries. A must do excursion! Thank you AMA Waterways for this truly unforgettable experience!”
“We particularly enjoyed this itinerary because it includes a visit to Nuremberg. It is a fascinating German city with a castle and beautiful town square and our excursion covered a lot of history.”
“As a slightly disabled 80-year-old, I missed out on many included excursions with other companies. Then I found AmaWaterways and their gentle walker options and my world opened up.”
“I’ve sailed the Rhine River three times now and been to Siegfried’s Mechanical Musical Instrument Cabinet every time. It was a totally different experience the third time when I experienced the museum through my new friends’ eyes. Also, AmaWaterways has a variety of excursion choices every day, so on my first cruise on the Rhine River when we docked in Ludwigshafen, Germany, I took the walking tour through Heidelberg; the next time I did the Heidelberg Philosopher’s Path hike; and this last time I visited Speyer, which I have always wanted to do.”
“I liked seeing the silk factory and trying all the foods. The sticky coconut candy was my favorite. And there are so many great places to take photographs!”
“Budapest did not fail to impress. Beautiful city! On the AmaLea”
“My favorite tour this week was going to Giverny to see Monet's Gardens, and when we got there we had time just to stroll around the gardens and really take it in at our own pace. We had time to really take in the whole garden and the atmosphere, and you really saw what Monet would have seen when he was painting. ”
“We adored...the exclusive Oktoberfest in Vilshofen where we got to know fellow guests.”
