The value of your travel $

Picture

Wherever we go and what- ever we do, our #1
rule is ever present :
to give our customers 

the best value for their 
travel $.
This also includes festivals, local ethnic events, fairs and exhibitions etc.

We include beer-, wine- and local food tastings if our travelers are interested.
You could over a period of 13 1/2 years drink a different beer every day, all brewed in Germany. Prost!

eat +  drink  +  be  merry

Picture
Since all the breakfasts (buffets) and all the dinners on Part 2 are included, we try to cover all the local specialties German cuisine is known for. You usually have a choice between 5 - 7 different entrees daily. 

Tours start in Germany (unless other arrangements are made):
Group meets at a designated time close to "DB Service Point" (your travel documents have the exact location) in main hall of "Long Distance Train Station" (Fernbahnhof), a 10 min. walk from airport arrival hall.  If you arrange your own flights, talk to us first and let us know your intended schedule early enough so we can make sure that you return on time to Frankfurt for your flight.
 
​Besides these regular scheduled tours, we are also available to arrange PRIVATE TOURS for groups starting with 6 travelers. These custom tours can be tailored according to your specific interests, schedule, length.
