Author Message   Robert Max Advanced Member Username: Rmax Post Number: 35 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2008 - 01:25 pm:    The Danube cruise was great- the sights, history, architecture, strudel and, of course , the beer. Prague is unique but there is a town called St. Stevens that is wonderful. Then there is Budapest! Enjoy your cruise and brush up on the "Lorilei" song.   Garland Summerall Senior Member Username: Garland Post Number: 90 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - 01:17 am:    My wife and I are taking "Castles Along the Rhine & Danube River Cruise" with Vantage Travel Aug. 5,08.

I have signed up for the Globus "The Legendary Danube" cruise for September 2008. If you are on the September 2007 Globus Tour I'd be interested in communicating with you via E-mail after you return. Now in answer to your question I would seriously recommend that you either buy or look in a book store for "Rick Steves BEST OF EASTERN EUROPE 2007" also you may buy it off "Amazon.com". In it he gives great recommendations for local guides in both Prague and Budapest. They are super reasonable. His books are full of other great info.   Robert Max Advanced Member Username: Rmax Post Number: 33 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Monday, July 30, 2007 - 12:56 pm:    We're also taking the Blue Danube Discovery cruise in September. Does anyone know of a private (non-cruise) tour for Prague or Budapest? thanks.   Phyllis DeLancey Senior Member Username: Phyllis Post Number: 1506 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Wednesday, July 25, 2007 - 08:35 pm:    We have cruised the Danube, not "The Legendary Danbue" Globus/Avalon" but one with Grand Circle. It was not 12 day, 7 day and we enjoyed it very much. We went in December each day a different town and different Christmas Market.   Robert Putlock Member Username: Putlock Post Number: 9 Registered: 02-2007 Posted on Wednesday, July 25, 2007 - 07:44 pm:    Is there anyone who may have taken the "Legendary Danube" Globus/Avalon 12 day river cruise. I'd like to learn exactly what was coved and when by the "Globus" tour director in Prague. Thanks to anyone who responds.
