City Sightseeing Tour on the River Danube

Explore the sights of Linz during a guided city tour off the beaten tracks – aboard the cozy excursion ship MS Helene. During a 1.5 hour cruise to the Linz Harbour you will not only hear detailed information about the history of Linz but also facts and figures about the river Danube, the Linz Harbours as well as the people living here. Watch the riverbanks and its sights pass by. Enjoy this relaxing cruise with a drink or two. I will also let you in on stories and tales that have been told in former days and still astonish the listener today.
