A challenging, but rewarding day on the water with a friendly and professional (and safety-oriented) guide. Would do again -- in the middle of Summer.

Lovely way to see the old town from a different perspective. Good quality/stable Kayaks and an excellent guide - made sure he kept everyone safe and informed - in both German and English. Very placid stretch of river - with limited commercial traffic - so a great setting for people of all levels of experience.

Ludger was an excellent tour guide! The kayaks are very comfortable and safe. Amazing views of the city and the river is very accessible for novice kayakers.

Very friendly, accommodating when we arrived 10 minutes late. Pitched the tour for our group. Such a friendly team. Taught my teens some kayaking techniques too and didn’t mind them splashing each other
