As with my past experiences, Allyson made booking this trip with ease and professionalism. I appreciated how she answered all my questions promptly and provided with me with all the information I needed. Viking Cruise Lines exceeded my expectations. The ease in which the entire tour ease handled made it one of the best vacations I have ever experienced. They were beyond organized and accommodating in every way. I will definitely continue using Affordable Tours and continue using them recommending them for my future travels.

Viking river cruise was outstanding despite the very low water conditions that required we change ships twice. We were met on our arrival in Amsterdam and throughout our 14 day cruise there level of service was first class. At the end of or cruise we were driven from the ship to the airport where a Viking representative met us and helped secure our boarding pass for our flight from Amsterdam back to the USA.

We were extremely pleased with the Viking staff who were always warm and welcoming to all guests. The food service and selections were exceptional. The Viking Skadi was a very nice ship. It was well maintained and clean. The Grand European Tour was wonderful. There were many included side tours and optional tours. Having heard other travelers experiences with the optional tours we wish we had included some that we did not sign up to take. All trips were well planned and the guides were knowledgeable. The only optional side trip that we did not think was worth the cost was the trip to Salzburg Austria.The bus ride was several hours on two lane farm roads and there was very little explore time. This side extra cost trip seemed strictly for tourists. The remainder of the trip was outstanding and we were sad to see it end. Viking was wonderful but they do want fully paid costs some two years in advance for further travel. For us, this makes payments not possible. I'm not sure if this is standard with all tour companies.

There was unusual high water on the Danube river which precluded our ship from passing under some low bridges. Viking arranged a seamless transfer fo another Viking ship on the other side of the obstacle. We packed and left suitcases in the morning when we started our sightseeing and they returned us to another, identical ship, placing everyone in exactly the same cabin number as their original ship. This is a significant advantage to using Viking because they have so many ships going in both directions, that they can even adjust to high or low water conditions.

Exceeded our expectations. Every detail was taken care. Up to date modern ship. Everything was neat, clean and worked. The staff on board were very professional and friendly. I would definitely travel with Viking again. Great value!
