Everything! Really highly recommended. You see so much more from the boat, and we lucked out with perfect weather too. Very beautiful old paddle steamer, where you can even see the mechanics. Great 👍

Everything was fine on the ship; the only thing was that the departure point was listed as number 20, but it was actually number 1—20 minutes away in the rain.

The boat ride was very nice, and the sights were varied and interesting. The food and drink menu, on the other hand, was overpriced. But for a 1⅕-hour ride, the value for money is good. Thank you very much.

A lovely cruise on the Elbe aboard the "August der Starke." Great views of Dresden, friendly staff, and a very relaxed atmosphere.

The tour guide spoke with great enthusiasm about the history of the opera house. It was like a solo performance at the opera. It was a lively narrative.

It was a really great experience. Our guide told us a lot about the Semperoper, and some of the explanations really surprised us. I highly recommend it to everyone.

The boat ride was wonderful because it relieves stress and lets everything settle down a bit. The view from the Elbe is absolutely stunning, and the smell of the engine room brings back childhood memories. :)

A highly recommended experience for discovering Dresden from a different perspective. The 1.5-hour cruise along the Elbe River is relaxing, offering beautiful views of the city’s bridges, historic buildings, and riverbanks. The boat was clean, the organization was excellent, and booking through Headout was quick and hassle-free. Without a doubt, this is the perfect activity for first-time visitors to Dresden. Highly recommended!
