Beautiful sights from the Rhein, however, there are some things people need to know (SCAM and more). Most of the staff members are rude. There was a man yelling to a guest because he thought the guest wasn't listening to his instructions. The guest did nothing wrong, I think the crew member just had some anger issues. There was a lovely lady helping us with the ticket and an elderly man organizing the tables and chairs. But most of the crew were Hungarians. They looked angry at the guests and I felt a weird vibe. The talked in Hungarian most of the time and turned their backs when customers came close it seemed. When they weren't in groups, they had a somewhat vague expression. No crew member laughed or even smiled the whole trip. After a couple of hours, I ordered some fries. Before I had put my change back into my wallet, I saw that I got Hungarian Forint instead of Euros. Luckily I looked before I had put it in my wallet and visited Hungary to know what it was. I told the man that I got some weird change back. The man turned his back and said with a firm voice that I had my change and had to go. I told him in a somewhat louder voice that he had given me Hungarian Forint. The man didn't look surprised, looked over his shoulder and said: "How do you know?". I said that I visited Hungary and know that Hungarian Forint is worth nothing. I got my money eventually, but there were more people who didn't notice. Maybe you will ask: "But maybe they have their own money on them?". They have wallets from work, it's a rule in this line of work you cannot put your own money in. And those men live in Germany, I don't think they'll go to Hungary between work hours for a few minutes to get a Snickers. This is a SCAM they do for the tourists.

A pleasing experience to take back. The boats were clean and the staff polite. The journey started on time.

We joined the 60 mins (1 hour) panoramic river cruise along the river Rhine in Cologne, the meeting point was actually at the pier 4 though it says on the tickets meet at the KD ticketing office, so we walked pass the meeting point pier 4 and arrived the KD ticketing office and asked the staff there and then he informed us the cruise ship is actually at pier 4 then we had to walk back to pier 4, so the meeting point wasn’t clearly stated on the ticket or on its website. The cruise ship was nice and big, it has indoor and outdoor seating to choose from, food can be purchased onboard.

(Translated by Google) Shipping in Düsseldorf This is total nonsense, what is offered here by the German Rheinschiffahrt AG! The ship drove along the Rhine 700 to 800m on the left, then turned, drove the same way back to the landing stage and then drove the same route, also only about 700-800m to the right along the Rhine. So the ship drove every short section of the Rhine, once on the left, once on the right, so that one drove every stretch twice! The whole trip was absolutely uninteresting / boring. (Original) Schifffahrt in Düsseldorf Das ist doch totaler Schwachsinn, was hier von der deutschen Rheinschiffahrt AG angeboten wird!! Das Schiff fuhr links den Rhein 700 bis 800m entlang, dann drehte das Schiff, fuhr dann den gleichen Weg zurück bis zur Anlegestelle und fuhr dann die gleiche Strecke, ebenfalls nur ca. 700-800m rechts den Rhein entlang. Das Schiff fuhr also jedes kurzes Teilstück des Rheins, einmal links, einmal rechts, so das man jede Strecke doppel fuhr!!! Die ganze Fahrt war überdies absolut uninteressant/langweilig.

Excellent 1 hr River cruise. Spacious and good service.

River boat ride on the Rhein was very nice and relaxing and informative. An hour trip to see many sights of Köln.

(Translated by Google) The ride was very nice, but I was absolutely disappointed with the service. The 3/4 full beer from the predecessor accidentally poured the service on me, which is absolutely not bad, it can happen. However, I thought it was pretty stupid that I just lay down a dry dishcloth and then I myself have to wipe the table etc, even though I did not spill the beer. In addition, I had a full drink, which was also over there, since the beer landed there too. Too bad.. (Original) Die Fahrt war sehr schön, allerdings bin ich absolut enttäuscht vom Service gewesen. Das 3/4 volle Bier vom Vorgänger hat die Bedienung versehentlich über mich geschüttet, was ja auch absolut nicht schlimm ist, es kann ja mal passieren. Allerdings fand ich es ziemlich blöd das mal mir dann nur ein trockenes Geschirrtuch hinlegt und ich dann auch noch selber den Tisch etc abwischen muss, obwohl ich ja nicht das Bier verschüttet habe. Zudem hatte ich noch eine volles Getränk, welches danach auch hinüber war, da dort das Bier auch drin landete. Schade..

More of a boat for locals to drink on. Nothing wrong with that, but it is advertised as a boat tour. Short trip and we were unable to hear the announcements due to the load crowd. Nice to drink beer on however

(Translated by Google) Nice boat, with the possibility to sit in the fresh air and if it is too hot inside and then even air-conditioned. I really like it. Eating and drinking looks very appetizing here. I will definitely try next time ?. (Original) Schönes Boot, mit der Möglichkeit an der frischen Luft zu sitzen und wenn es zu heiß ist drinnen und das dann sogar klimatisiert. Das finde ich sehr schön. Essen und Trinken sieht hier sehr appetitlich aus. Werde ich auf jeden Fall nächstes Mal probieren ?.

The panorama cruise was a good experience - relaxing 60mins ride. Get a 20% discount (around11€ after discount) with the Köln card. Make sure to be in front of the queue when boarding so that you get a nice table by the side of the boat on the top deck. One star less because there was no information provided regarding the audio guide. I had to ask the staff and they sent me to a poster on the lower deck where I could scan a QR code to visit a website that is supposed to be the audio guide. The website was okayish - since it would not auto-play the audio when we approach a monument for instance, rather it had to be played manually. Also, the ship didn't seem to be moving on the GPS map so it was hard to say the exact location, but thanks to the bridges you can kinda figure this out.

KD stands for Köln-Düsseldorf, is a German domestic river cruise company based in Cologne / Köln since 1826. By 2022 it has 14 ships or ferries with 189 employees. They operate on Rhine and Moselle rivers, are under Viking river cruise, which was founded in 1997. MS Asbach is a modern vessel that operates mostly on the romantic Middle Rhine. I caught a short ride from Boppard to Koblenz on April 28, 2002, a few days before their regular season: 1:15 long and cost €11.90 (it’s only 15 minutes by train, along the same river, and cost €3.85). At Koblenz, it stops at the Deutsches Eck / German Corner - very convenient.

A beer boat with stressed staff running around. I asked kindly to mr. Asen filipov if I could order at the bar and all he could scream at me was "sitzen, sitzen!" Ich bin doch kein hund?

(Translated by Google) The shipping was nice, unfortunately, the announcements were only heard inside. The weather was very nice, so everyone wanted to sit outside. A waiter on the upper deck was there too little (Original) Die Schifffahrt war schön, leider waren die Ansagen nur drinnen zu hören. Das Wetter war aber sehr schön, sodass jeder draussen sitzen wollte. Ein Kellner auf dem Oberdeck war da auch zuwenig

(Translated by Google) Great ship. We had a nice boat tour! (Original) Tolles Schiff. Wir hatten eine schöne Bootstour!

Clean boat, nice and cool in the air conditioning for a very hot day. Brief cruise with rude waitress who basically insisted we use cash despite carrying around a credit card machine. We had a good time even though she didn't.

(Translated by Google) The trip was very nice, I would like to repeat it (Original) Die fahrt war sehr schön, würden es gerne wiederholen

Nice pleasant trip only marred by the RUDE waiter. They really need to train their workers better. The trip is short and has nice views of apartments and offices along the river. But it's really only 1/2 hour cruise because you see everything twice...once going and once on the return

We booked a Panorama tour through GetYourGuide. We were waiting at the meeting point per instructions received per email but there was no office there! We tried to call KD twice but they didn't answer, so we contacted GetYourGuide who sent us the same address (where we already were). We ended up walking along the river and managed to find the ship. No welcome announcement or anything over the speakers---the ship just undocked. On our table, there were instructions on how to get audio guide for the tour but it didn't seem to work so we asked the staff for help and they just said "the audio guide isn't working for some reason." There was also a group of people who were being very loud and obnoxious and the staff didn't do anything about it. A total waste of money

I ordered the ticket online, and it is a dinner cruise. It is really literally a dinner cruise. Get on at 7 pm, leave the port at 8 pm, back at 10 pm to the port . Nice view( you can go outside or up level to see and picturing .

Had a fabulous relaxed trip. 2 hours with a band playing Christmas music, you can buy gluhwein, tea, hot chocolate, meals but we got complimentary biscuits and St Nicholas visited.

We went for a 60 mins ride. Price €15 pp. I think its not value for me because the ride is too short. It starts from: Hauptbanhof then goes till till Rodenkirchen and back. The boat moves at a very slow pace, which adds to the slowness.

A nature lover like me can spontaneously smell the natural cologne of Cologne’s beauty while cruising.

A wonderful experience cruising through piece of history. There’s lots you can do on the cruise. From food, drinks and even a disco club.

(Translated by Google) Not recommendable. The speakers were only turned to an audible level after complaining. It was about 30 minutes from the tour. The explanations of the sights were ridiculous. You can save the money! The drink prices on board are usurious! (Original) Nicht zu empfehlen. Die Lautsprecher wurden erst nach Beschwerden auf ein hörbares Niveau gedreht. Da war von der Tour allerdings schon fast 30 Minuten um. Die Erklärungen zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten waren lächerlich. Das Geld kann man sich sparen! Die Getränkepreise an Board sind Wucher!

(Translated by Google) With the Rhein-Energie it was always a pleasure .. (Original) Mit der Rhein-Energie war es wie immer ein Vergnügen..

(Translated by Google) Service was very friendly (Original) Bedienung war ausgesprochen freundlich

Cologne apart from the cathedral is generally ugly rebuilds can be seen from the boat

The river tour was very enjoyable and the treats were delicious. Also the boat is very hygienic.

(Translated by Google) The boat trip was pleasant in itself, but everyone upstairs was occupied and unfortunately we could only sit down below. Even the single ticket of € 23.80 from Cologne to Bonn and back is not cheap. Unfortunately we could not go to the planned destination in Linz because it was too crowded in Bonn. The voucher could be redeemed without any problems and the service was friendly. (Original) Die Schifffahrt war an sich angenehm ,jedoch war oben alle belegt und wir konnten uns leider nur unten hinsetzten.Auch das Einzelticket von 23,80€ von Köln nach Bonn und zurück ist nicht Preiswert. Leider konnten wir nicht zum geplanten Ziel nach Linz fahren, da es zu voll in Bonn erwatet wurde. Den Gutschein konnte man ohne Probleme einlösen und der Service war freundlich.

Nice

(Translated by Google) Really nice. Whoever comes to Cologne should try it out. (Original) Richtig schön. Wer nach Köln kommt dann soll ausprobieren.

(Translated by Google) Line trip from Bonn to Linz and back. With good weather and space on the sundeck, it was definitely a great thing, the beer ran well and quickly and the waiter had sayings in store. I now imagine having paid the price in the rain and therefore the inner deck it would of course have been an absolute disappointment. So check the weather, make a spontaneous reservation and then it'll be a great tour. (Original) Linienfahrt von Bonn nach Linz und zurück. Bei gutem Wetter und Platz auf dem Sonnendeck sicherlich eine tolle Sache, das Bier lief gut und schnell und der Kellner hatte Sprüche auf Lager. Stelle ich mir nun vor den Preis bezahlt zu haben bei Regen und demnach Innendeck wäre es natürlich eine absolute Enttäuschung geworden. Daher Wetter checken, spontan reservieren und dann wird's eine tolle Tour.

(Translated by Google) Booking via the online portal was very easy and the subsequent trip was a dream! (Original) Die Buchung übers Onlineprortal war sehr einfach und die anschließende Reise, war ein Traum!

(Translated by Google) The panorama trip with RheinEnergie was very nice and Corona moderately well organized. Unfortunately not when getting out. Many people crowded the corridors to get out. The mooring takes time. No distance, one or the other without a mask, noisy youngsters with beer bottles in their hands. Not a good feeling, too bad. (Original) Die Panorama Fahrt mit der RheinEnergie war sehr schön mit und Corona mässig super organisiert. Leider nicht beim Ausstieg. Viele Menschen drängten sich in den Gängen zum Ausstieg. Das vertäuen dauert aber seine Zeit. Kein Abstand, der ein oder andere ohne Maske, lärmende Jugendliche mit Bierflasche in der Hand. Kein gutes Gefühl, schade.

Best time to travel in the evening to have private Parties

Beer boat up the Rhine River. It's okay.

Unfortunately there are no tours in Winter!!!

Your boat is broken. Your deckhand said to go to ticket office for refund. Nasty, rude old woman said "call [you] and that she is not KD online!" (She should be fired. I assume she is prejudice against non-deutsch.) Your office is not answering phone. Please refund entire amount. Rechnung #438730 ...we came from North America for this. Danke

Friendly environment. Could have had some light music in place.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting river cruise on the Rhine, great experience Cologne once to experience the water. (Original) Sehr interessante Flussfahrt auf dem Rhein, tolles Erlebnis Köln einmal vom Wasser zu erleben.

Good place to visit

Advertised with air conditioning - there was none on the side of the boat that was not "reserved" Staff does not wait to see what else you would like to order when you find out only half the menu is available Generally poor treatment of guests, rude and impatient, partly due to understaffing Tour guide incomprehensible due to low volume of the audio and high volume of the guests Beer glass delivered with lipstick marks was the cherry on top

This is a beatiful place!

Eine schöne Bootstour mit den Rädern, sehr freundliches und hilfreiches Personal. Die telefonische Ticketauskunft könnte etwas verbindlicher sein.

(Translated by Google) We were just such a big ship that only 200 people (normally 600 also half does not work) because of corona theater and no ticket anymore it is a miracle and paradise congratulations. (Original) Da waren wir grade so großes chiff fährt nur 200 person ( normalerweise 600 auch hälfte geht nicht) wegen corona Theater und kein Ticket mehr es ist eine wunder und Paradiese herzlichen Glückwunsch.

(Translated by Google) Was with the family on the Rhein-Energie KD ship. I bought the tickets online and I think it's good that there is also a discount for seniors. The onboarding went smoothly. There is also an elevator to the deck which was very convenient for my mother. The journey took an hour and one could admire the sights of Cologne on the Rhine. Unfortunately the explanation was rather quiet, so that you didn't understand everything that was said about the sights. There was a variety of drinks on board and the prices were ok. (Original) War mit der Familie auf dem Rhein-Energie KD Schiff. Ich habe Online die Tickets gekauft und finde es Gut das für Senioren auch Rabatt gibt. Das onBoarding lief reibungslos. Es gibt auch ein Aufzug bis zum Deck was für meine Mutter sehr praktisch war. Die Fahrt hat eine Stunde gedauert, und man könnte die Sehenswürdigkeiten Köln am Rhein bestaunen. Leider die Erklärung war ziemlich leise, sodass man nicht alles verstanden hat was über die Sehenswürdigkeiten erzählt wurde. Es gab ein Vielfalt an Getränken am Board und die Preise warn Ok.

(Translated by Google) Very nice to see Cologne from the water :-). Sservice could be a little faster. (Original) Sehr schön sich Köln auch mal vom Wasser anzuschauen :-). Sservice könnte etwas schneller sein.

(Translated by Google) great (Original) Super

(Translated by Google) Ms Rheinenergie: Clean and very nice staff. The bouncy castle is unfortunately not corona compliant. Neither do you have to wear a mouthguard on the free deck, nor was there anybody to watch out for the children to keep their distance on the bouncy castle - which is actually nonsense ... But in Corona times. Well ... (Original) Ms Rheinenergie: Sauber und sehr nettes Personal. Die hüpfburg ist aber leider nicht corona konform. Weder muss man ja auf dem freideck mundschutz tragen, noch war dort jmd der aufpasst, das Kinder auf der hüpfburg Abstand halten-was auch eigentlich Quatsch ist... Aber in Corona Zeiten. Naja...

(Translated by Google) A boat trip that's fun ... In current Corona times, I booked a boat trip on my birthday, which provides a 50% discount for birthday children, both for the birthday child and for the companion. Since the discount was not bookable online, I still booked, because you should avoid contacts at the moment and therefore I didn't want to go to a KD counter. After several inquiries by email about a reimbursement, the following answer came less than 3 months later: "This should be a special gift from our company for the birthday child and does not serve as a discount as compared to children or seniors. For this reason, you cannot do this online book." A service oriented company in 2020 during Corona looks different. "We would be delighted if you took another trip on the KD and enjoyed the sights on the Rhine from on board." -> No thanks ... (Original) Eine Schifffahrt die ist lustig... In aktuellen Corona-Zeiten habe ich an meinem Geburtstag eine Schifffahrt gebucht, welche für Geburtstagskinder einen Rabatt von 50% sowohl für das Geburtstagskind als auch für die Begleitung vorsieht. Da der Rabatt online nicht buchbar war habe ich dennoch gebucht, da man ja aktuell Kontakte meiden sollte und ich deshalb nicht zu einem KD-Schalter wollte. Nach mehrmaliger Rückfrage per Mail über eine Erstattung kam knapp 3 Monate später die folgende Antwort: "Dies soll ein besonderes Geschenk unseres Hauses für das Geburtstagskind sein und dient nicht als Rabattierung wie vergleichsweise bei Kindern oder Senioren. Aus diesem Grund kann man das auch nicht online buchen." Ein dienstleistungsorientiertes Unternehmen in 2020 während Corona sieht anders aus. "Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Sie noch einmal eine Fahrt mit der KD unternehmen und Sie die Sehenswürdigkeiten am Rhein von Bord aus genießen." --> Nein danke...

(Translated by Google) Instead of the menu lying on the table and supposed to be used, the staff in chaos brings some kind of indistinct printout from the printer with a list of seven dishes and two drinks. Kelsh is not served at the best price of € 3.80 for 0.2. Staff is worried in panic - the trip has not ended, as already on your table (!) Clattering dishes, laying it out for the next guests (apparently, after so-called excursions on the ship will be held feast). Extremely unprofessional. The price for the trip in € 35 for two with such third-rate service is completely unjustified. The excursion itself is also extremely boring, you will look at the forest 80% of the time. Do not waste time and money. (Original) Вместо меню, лежащего на столе и предполагаемого к использованию, стафф в хаосе приносит какую-то невнятную распечатку с принтера со списком из семи блюд и двумя напитками. Кельш подают отнюдь не самый хороший по цене €3.80 за 0.2. Стафф носится в панике - не закончилась поездка, как уже на твоем столе (!) гремят посудой, раскладывая её для следующих гостей (видимо, после т.н. экскурсии на судне будут проводить застолье). Крайне непрофессионально. Прайс за трип в €35 на двоих с таким третьесортным сервисом совершенно не обоснован. Сама экскурсия тоже крайне скучна, будете смотреть на лес 80% времени. Не тратьте время и деньги.

(Translated by Google) Yesterday we did the evening panorama trip in Cologne. The ride itself was nice as the weather was nice and it was getting dark and you had a nice view. The service was very poor, so I have rarely experienced such a rude, bad-tempered waiter. maybe he should rather look for a job that he enjoys :-)) also was in the description that there is a grill on deck in good weather .. it was still at 20 o'clock sunny 24 degrees and blue sky - but no grill to see ... (Original) wir haben gestern die Abendliche Panoramafahrt in Köln gemacht. die Fahrt an sich war schön da schönes Wetter war und es langsam dunkel wurde und man einen schönen Blick hatte. der Service war sehr schlecht, so einen unhöflichen, schlecht gelaunten Kellner habe ich selten erlebt. vielleicht sollte er sich lieber einen Job suchen, der ihm Spaß macht:-)) zudem stand in der Beschreibung dass es bei gutem Wetter einen Grill an Deck gibt.. es waren noch um 20 Uhr sonnige 24 Grad und blauer Himmel- allerdings kein Grill zu sehen...
