Testimonials

We are delighted with our first river getaway, the excitement experienced when passing the first lock is indescribable. After the difficult year we have had, this is what we needed. We ended up very happy with the attention, the welcome, the listening and the patience of the entire Dole and Danfluvial team. Of course we are looking forward to repeating.

At the Port Sur Saone base, they did not speak English and thanks to someone in the group speaking some French we were able to communicate. Also thank Rocío de Danfluvial who sent us a document prepared in different languages on everything concerning the reception. Highlight all the help provided in the preparation phase of the trip by Danfluvial staff in Spain.

Both the reception and delivery of the boat was very good. The ship was a bit old, but it met the expectation perfectly. The experience has been very good. The whole family enjoyed a river trip through canals and locks, stopping to bathe. To improve boarding information on the ports of the route, to better assess where to moor.
