On the river cruise, the water levels were too high for the ship to go under bridges. Henceforth, we were bussed for over 3 hours round trip to see sites. Was a waste of time and tiresome at the end of the day. We didn’t see several destination sites that were a highlight of the tour. It was extremely disappointing!!! Being that we weren’t sailing to those sites, we were bussed for over 7 hours to our final destination and extension tour. Again tiresome and a waste of time!!!
