We enjoyed the scenery and tourist attractions visited - especially the Melk Abbey!

We enjoyed the trip, however honestly with the warm beautiful weather, the highlights for us were the stop in the Wachau alley villages and the river cruise as opposed to the abbey itself.

Bus was clean, the boat was OK.
We were disappointed because we spent too much time in the bus travelling, there was very short time out. We did not go to see Krems, we did not go up in the Dürnstein castle ruins, we j... moreust watch them from outside. Also we had no time in Melk go to see the city.
Guide spoke interestingly, many of the information was not understandable or clear, we have to ask once we left the bus to confirm what he said. It was easy to recognise he doesn't like it.
There was half an hour walking in Dürnstein to the boat and on the way a very nice church but there was no chance to visit.
All together the journey was nice but we felt we missed many nice sights on the way. We spent the whole day with this journey and all we have seen was the Melk Abbey.
If you participate this tour be aware that the restaurant in Melk will be very busy and crowdy. We had to wait for table.
The whole boating time was about 90 minutes and we also thought we are going to return to Vienna with boat but it was with bus instead.
Personally we won't go more with this journey but we'll organise by our own next time.
Just one more note: once I paid this journey online the credit card company blocked my credit card, so I had no chance to use my credit card for 3 days because of Pentecost. When next labour day I asked them why they said because Veltra is on a list where they notes problematic companies.

Despite the cooler weather and intermittent rain, overall a good trip. Pick up from the hotel went well but the transfer to the bigger buses was a little confusing. We did eventually make it onto the right bus and enjo... moreyed the guided bus tour to Spitz where we met our boat. Plenty of room on the boat. Good cruise up to Krems. Great tour of the Abbey and quite impressive. Our guide was very knowledgable throughout the bus, boat and Abbey tours. Would do it again.

Did what it said on the tin. Interesting and relaxing day

We lucked out re: good weather for boat cruise which was delightful. There was not enough time at the Abbey to do justice to it & it was difficult to hear the guide. There was no time to tour the village. People had to... more pick between seeing either the Abbey or the village - not enough time for both. Lunch was rushed. We were very disappointed that the bus did not return us to the hotel where we were picked up & the fact that we would be dropped off "in a central downtown location" was not divulged until we were on our way back to Vienna. That was problematic & stressful as one of my party was disabled necessitating the additional time & expense of finding a taxi to get back to the hotel after an already long & busy day. Overall the tour was overpriced - not good value for the cost.
