mpant Posted September 24, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Just returned from SmarTours land tour and then onto Danube river cruise from Nuremburg to Budapest. Gate 1 tour groups were also on this boat We had a great time This may not be the most luxurious of the river boats but it is the best deal for the price. Food was good. Free wine and beer at dinner saved alot of $ Optional excursions to Schonbrunn palace and Vienna concert were very enjoyable Included tours to Melk abbey, City tours of Regensburg, Passau, Vienna , Budapest etc were terrific Trip thru Wachau Valley had beautiful scenery with castles No problem with water level It was a bit cooler than I thought it would be About the only improvement I would suggest is the nightly entertainment- Cabins were spacious enough with plenty of storage Any specific questions?.?

june1 Posted September 29, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Thankyou for the information as we are on the Gate1 April 15 cruise/tour. When you mention adapter, do you mean the plug or something else? Did you bring a hair dryer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LewiLewi Posted February 11, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 11, 2013 A universal adapter I used the dryer on the boat Did you fly Lufthansa from JFK round trip as part of Smartours package? Do you remember the flight schedule and were you able to book seats prior to arriving st the airport? Was the land tour in Switzerland and how we're the hotels?
