Everything about the trip (the ship, the program, the lecturers) was great -- except for the hotel on the Venice extension. Its public areas were excellent and the staff was helpful, but my bedroom was designed by someone who had never stayed in a hotel before. No well-lit comfy chair for reading, no place to lay out an open suitcase, no explanation of the confusing array of switches and controls.

Even when we had other ideas as to what to do than participate in planned tours, the kindly and helpful folks at Gohagan helped us get our wishes done. They also helped us to have the experiences we wanted after the original tour was over. Thanks for absolutely wonderful service!

The trip was well organized and provided a pretty good balance of scheduled activities, free time, and time to relax on board the boat. I understand that the complex schedule of a river cruise with locks, etc makes it tough but there were several cities I wish we had had more free time in. The extra effort shown by your staff in putting together a 'leisurely walkers' helped many have a more of us enjoy the sights. Also when the final port was changed it was taken care of seamlessly without any big fuss, although I know there was a lot done to make that happen.
The local guides were very knowledgeable and interacted with us quite well.
The crew and staff on the boat did a very good job and again made it look so easy. The food was good, especially the soups. The wait staff never rushed us and was very accommodating with requests like extra vegetables, fries, or even a second entrée. The cabin staff was great. The boat crew did a great job, which I imagine most people don't see.

Our 2nd try with Gohagan. Hope we can avoid them in the future.
Not specific enough on what would be done on excursions. Some guides were very particular about what they wanted to tell us, e.g., too much time spent at an artist's house and no time for incredibly old buildings/churches visits, not even allowed a quick look inside. Misjudged the difficulty for walking on two excursions where people had real trouble, one headed back.

What made my experience with Gohagan great was the staff. Without exception, the people we're knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. Even when problems arise, such as traffic in the locks, it was handled professionally so that the experience was still seamless for the guests. Thank you, Gohagan, for a great cruise experience!

Five stars just isn't enough! Wonderfully organized by the efficient and super pleasant Gohagan team on the Rhine boat. Pam and I loved this cruise and that was down to your smiling efficiency.
Thank you.

The travel coordinators on the trip were all very personable, knowledgeable and helpful. Most of the local guides were good but one in Heidlelburg was very difficult for a number of us to understand. I would have preferred options for excursions in locales with some being active and also more lectures during long cruising times. The boat crew was generally wonderful particularly one young polish waitress. The food was good with lots of choices.

The tour directors on board the WindStar did an amazing job organizing 116 people. We were divided into groups for all of the excursions, and it was hardly noticeable that there were that many people. It was choreographed perfectly. I felt like I was in a small group of 20 each excursion! The local guides were great and there was a lot of care to people's needs.
