Great cruise. Viking has truly exceptional service, excellent food and very professional. Included tours were less than what we expected. The optional tours were very good to excellent, except for Munich, which was a terrible tour - not worth 25% of the cost of the tour. Viking handled our transition from one ship to another because of water conditions very efficiently. Almost seemed like we were on the same ship. The upper deck was closed for 5 days, which was unfortunate.

Ship tip
Do not do the Munich optional excursion; not worth the $199/person extra. Other optional excursions were very good to excellent. Standard excursions were OK; nothing exceptional
Amsterdam was a great city. We explored Amsterdam on our own, not with Viking and I think we saw more, stayed in better accomodations and it cost less.
Optional Rothenburg ob der Tauber tour was outstanding. We can see why it is Germany's most beloved city. This is a can't miss. Too bad that this tour takes place at the same time as the Wurzburg included tour. Would have liked to get on both tours.
Went on the Munich Highlights optional tour. Worst tour we have been on, and we have been on a lot of tours. Lot of drive-by's. Not worth the $199/person tour. Wished we would have gone on the Regensburg included tour.
Went on the Salzburg Highlights optional tour. Truly the highlight of the cruise. Would have liked to be in Salzburg for a couple of days. This is well worth the $199/person. GREAT TOUR!!! The lunch in a fantastic setting with music from the Sound of Music was worth the price of the tour alone, plus you had all of the other sights of this charming city.
Included Panoramic Vienna tour was very good. Great city. The Mozart & Strauss Concert optional tour was well worth the money. Really fun evening, great entertainment
Panoramic included tour was good. The highlight of this port is the evening cruise on the Danube with all of the buildings along the river spotlighted. Truly outstanding for Viking to include that on the cruise. Was a great way to end the cruise and make it memorable.
