Here On The Spot Recommendation

Caroline represents great value for money. The barge is very comfortable, and Ute and Uli will bend over backwards to make you welcome. They multi-lingual, speaking German, Dutch, English, Spanish and French! Service is good; food is good; and the atmosphere is relaxed and homely. The deck is very spacious, with good vision all round for admiring the scenery as you glide along this beautiful waterway. Relax and unwind in the capable hands Ute and Uli.
