Amadeus Rhine River Cruise with Amsterdam
Reviewed By Angela - Murrieta, CA | Traveled to Rhine River | On the River | At Sea
First time with our travel group and on a river cruise. We had a great time. Gabe chose the best things to do before we boarded our ship in Amersterdam. The Keukenhof gardens were beautiful and timed perfectly by Gabe in booking our trip. Being a little older and traveling, Gabe made sure we were well taken care of and making sure we enjoyed our time, which we certainly did. We loved this trip so much we have booked another with Gabe in 2026! It was fun to be part of a group and Gabe took care of everything, the tours, the buses, making sure people were where they were supposed to be. Made travel effortless. He is a great tour guide and plans very fun things to do.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Castles of the Rhine
Reviewed By Bob and Yvonne Wood - Huntington Beach, CA | Traveled to Rhine River | On the River | At Sea
This was our first European river cruise, and we could not have been happier with it. Gabe made sure that every detail was covered. The pre-travel itinerary was communicated promptly. Once in Amsterdam, Gabe arranged for two days of pre-cruise sightseeing. The cruise was amazing. We saw so much in our 5-day cruise on Amadeus up the Rhine River. We disembarked in Switzerland and spent the day exploring Lake Lucerne. What a memorable trip!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
