We love everything about Viking cruises. The local guides were all terrific. The food on the boat was always good . . . and the service was always excellent. All of the waiters were just wonderful. We were especially pleased with the attention given to keeping our room in tiptop shape! It is so nice to have someone make your bed and turn it down for you in the evening. We did the pre-cruise in Amsterdam and really enjoyed seeing everything we could there. The tulip park was open and we thank you very much for providing a tour of that for us. The hotel accommodations were great and the breakfasts were always delicious. The Rhine was a beautiful river to cruise down and we really enjoyed seeing all of the castles on the middle Rhine. The Black Forest bus trip was really lovely and are so pleased we were able to experience it.
