Testimonials

Testimonials about river tourism | Danfluvial Opinions
The river cruise experience has been positive. The contact with nature, fishing, the landscape, the local people and the whole of a different holiday leave a good taste in the mouth. The only thing I liked less was that the canals do not have quality water for bathing. Although it can be compensated with the pools that you find on the route (for a fee).

I recommend looking at the route beforehand to save time on vacation, I also advise the one-way trip. We liked the tour a lot but there are a large number of locks. The boat was very good and the people were very friendly during the entire journey, it is worth getting to Auxerre. In general, a very complete and recommended vacation.

Very happy with the treatment received before and during our holidays. We had a problem with the fridge and since our French was not very good we decided to call Danfluvial in Spain, they were in charge of calling the port and they sent us a technician. Despite the bad weather, it was a unique experience with our children. We certainly want to repeat in search of the sun!
