Danube cruise
Service was good. Food was great. It was a beautiful two hour evening on the water.. it was fun going through the locks. It felt like going through the Panama Canal.

Didn’t receive my tickets nor refund
Never received tickets to this event and they have still not refunded my funds. I have usually been very happy with Viator but this experience has changed my mind Had numerous requests for a refund and keep getting the run around. Very disappointing.

After booking with...
After booking with dinner, I received a message apologizing for having problems and not being able to include dinner; I am waiting for the refund. On the other hand, there is little to be seen in the narrow areas along the way; it is more of a trip through the lock than a “city view.”
Operator response
Lamentamos mucho lo ocurrido. Debido a un problema operativo, la cena no pudo ser incluida y el reembolso correspondiente está siendo procesado. También sentimos que el recorrido y las vistas no hayan cumplido sus expectativas. El trayecto incluye el paso por la esclusa como parte de la experiencia. Gracias por compartir sus comentarios.

A romantic evening on the boat
Reserved seat, dinner/food good, tasty, lovingly prepared. Staff very friendly. Good wine selection A negative point would be that there are too few seats offered outside on the upper deck.

Fritz was so informative about Austria. We had a great time. The day was filled with beautiful sights and scenery.

Not what we expected disappointed.
Was expecting this experience to be the highlight of our trip to Vienna, it was not. You spend a high proportion of your time on board, getting out off, and returning via the lock to the mooring point on the canal. Our main coarse chicken was dry, and one of our party had to return her meal because it was off. Starter and soup along with dessert fine. Very little to see on the section of the Danube we travelled along, I believe we went under two to three bridges before turning. The best part was returning along the canal which was a hive of activity with all the bars lit up, music playing, and patrons dancing a great sight. (It was a Friday night).
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations and was not the highlight of your visit to Vienna as you had hoped. The cruise route, including the passage through the lock system and the selected section of the Danube Canal, is operated according to the itinerary provided by the local operator and is designed to showcase a different perspective of the city. We sincerely apologize for the issue you experienced with one of the meals. Food quality is very important, and we regret that one member of your party received a dish that was not satisfactory. We appreciate that the onboard team addressed the matter when it was reported. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the return journey through the canal and the vibrant atmosphere of Vienna's waterfront nightlife. The illuminated bars, music, and lively surroundings are often among the most memorable parts of the evening cruise experience. Your comments are valuable and will be shared with the operating team to help improve future guest experiences. Kind regards,
