Viking Rolf River Cruises Reviews

I was very pleased how our travel consultant handled the booking with Viking Riverboat cruises. She saved me a lot of money with the discounts she gave me. I have been telling everyone to book through Affordable Tours instead of direct! I will use her for future tours.

We did an extension at the end of the journey for the first time and it was exceptional. Way above our expectations.

Rick was easy to work with, he kept me informed and was able to upgrade my flight seats. Thank you.

Our second cruise with Viking, and again, it was a wonderful experience. Very, very friendly staff. They were always smiling and made us feel welcome. Great food. Great itinerary.

Love Shannon's helpfulness and expert knowledge when booking trips. This is my 4th trip with Affordable Tours and all 4 have exceeded my expections

We always enjoy working with Donna. She does an outstanding job for us. Viking is our favorite. We always receive a great trip itinerary. Thank you.

Marianne is the best travel agent ever in our opinion. She made this trip, like our earlier trips, a wonderful experience. Everything turned out great. Thanks so much and we will talk to you in the future when we travel again.

Allyson was so helpful with the arrangements for this trip to France. All questions and requests were taken care of in a very timely manner, often within the same day, and never more than one or two days. The trip more than met our expectations. It is not often you get the chance to say that the experience far exceeded the expectations, given how affordable the cost. Thank you Allyson.

Trip was well paced but active. The extension tour seemed expensive but was well worth the money. Due to fewer people, we were able to deviate from the planned tour for a better option recommended by our tour guide. Bought several gift certificates for future trips with Viking. highly recommend Viking!!!

Everything went exactly as planned. Thanks, Tahlon for your help!

Travel with Viking met and exceeded all of our travel expectations...including the transit plans, accommodations and the daily service. We will travel with Viking again...and Affordable Tours made it all happen efficiently.

The Viking employees were very helpful and professional.

Very happy with services, itinerary and tours provided by Viking. Staff is friendly and aim to please.

This was our fourth trip with Viking (3 River cruises and 1 Ocean Cruise). We enjoyed our trip overall but found areas that Viking could improve upon. Compared to our other trips, the scheduling of daily activities was too tight and we were often rushed at the end of a tour to get back to an event that was taking place onboard the river boat. We extended our trip to include Oxford with visits to Blenheim Palace and Highclere Castle; both of which were very interesting and worthwhile. The transfer from Paris to London and then on to Oxford was not well planned out and most of the 30+ guests taking the extension felt the same. Far too much time was taken to complete the transfer that began with a very early departure from the ship only to drag on most of the day with arrival at our hotels around 4PM or later. A twenty minute introductory walk in Oxford was offered within 45 minutes of check in at the hotels and again, most guests were pretty tired at that point. The visit to the Normandy Beaches along with the American Cemetery were interesting, and often emotional. The stop at Arromanche was once again not very well planned and guests complained that they did not have enough time to visit the museum. The overall impression of Arromanche was that of an overly commercialized area set up to let visitors shop for trinkets and trash. Frankly, with the exception of the short film about bridges that were built and moved into place after the landing, the stop at Arromanche was not particularly a high point. Visiting Omaha beach was a high point and the lunch at the Omaha Beach Golf Club was very well managed.

The boat did not dock in Paris, but rather an hours bus ride from town. On one of the "Paris" days, the transport was into town at 9:30 am and back out at 5:30 pm. That made it impossible to take advantage of the included tour in the afternoon. Other companies that I have done river cruises with provided multiple shuttles into and out of town.
