What Our GuestsHave To Say The guiding, condition of bikes, ship and ships staff where excellent Inselhuepfen was very organized - making adjustments on the fly (due to the unpredictable weather) that greatly improved our enjoyment. The staff, both guides and ship staff, were hard working and always engaged with we participants. The boat was beautifully designed and cared for and quite comfortable. I particularly enjoyed *** the photographer, who was always outgoing and full of energy. He's a very entertaining young man and a valuable asset. And *** was smart, thoroughly professional and … The staff and the ship were wonderful.
