Orsova: Danube’s Cauldrons Boat Tours with Audio Guide

1.Orsova: Danube’s Cauldrons Boat Tours with Audio Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 28 reviews · 1h 50m · from $277Our pick

Cruise from Orșova through the Danube Cauldrons to Decebalus Rock, caves, monasteries, and Iron Gates with an audio guide.

“Das Personal war sehr nett. Aufgrund eines Staus auf dem Weg nach Orsova kam ich zu spät zum gebuchten Slot, durfte dann aber auf das nächste Boot mit aufsteigen. Der Bootführer spielte Infos auf dem Weg zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten auf englisch hintereinander von einem Stick ab. Da der Geräuschpegel auf dem Speedboot sehr hoch war, habe ich kein Wort verstanden. Ich war auch die einzige Ausländerin unter den Rumänen. Hatte den Eindruck von Masse statt Klasse. Aber so ist das manchmal. Für Menschen mit chronischen Rückenleiden eher nicht zu empfehlen. Dann lieber eine Tour auf einem größeren Boot und mehr Zeit einplanen.”

Review of a private Danube Delta tour from Bucharest with boat cruise, village visits, Romanian fish lunch, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Our guide was great as far as hotel pick up explaining the history of Romania. Disappointed as far as seeing birds. All the boat operators use the same canal so all the animals go somewhere else. Expensive and long drive from Bucharest. Everyone goes to the same restaurant. Not really a fisherman 's house. Same menu carp,fish,soup. Drinks extra.”
