This tour was lovely! George was the best guide; he was funny and very knowledgeable about tons of stuff (area, history, people), lots to learn. The bus was big and comfortable. We stopped for 20 minutes at an amazing monument so that was a bonus, drove all along the beautiful river valley, lots of small towns with cool buildings/houses, saw lots of insane awesome castles, had a great home cooked style German lunch in a very neat unusual restaurant, the boat tour was a nice break to sit and relax and see the views from a different point of view. Overall, very satisfied and would recommend!

Trip was great! Our guide, Michael, added a lot to the trip. Very friendly, interesting. Scenery was amazing. All details were well handled by the tour operator.

Lovely weather, wonderful views and excellent guide. George was a great driver and guide- knowledgeable and humorous

Horrible experience! Our vehicle broke down half way into the journey and yet the tour guide continued to drive the vehicle, which is illegal and dangerous, hardly managed to spend some time at the locations and did not even get to visit Stratsbourg. After the tour van broke down for the second time, we were asked to step outside the vehicle and stood in the freezing cold (3-4 degrees celcius!) with young children for more than an hour. The tour guide did not communicate anything and didn’t not respond to any questions and only kept trying to justify this! After an hour of standing in the cold we had to travel in a tow truck to the nearest train station where we had to catch 4 trains before reaching back to Frankfurt! It was extremely dark and we were completely stranded. The guide was refusing to give a refund and kept making excuses, absolutely ridiculous. Horrible and traumatizing experience, never book this trip, complete waste of money, and the company is very poor with handling such situations and refunds.

Strasbourg is one of the world's greatest cathedrals. Fabulous does not adequately decribe it. The surrounding town offers architecture from many different ages, all beautifully restored and presented. However, I thought the tram trip through the town, with it's recorded narration, was too quick. I barely had time to glace at the buildings described before there was another description of another building. And there was no opportunity to ask questions. A walking tour of a smaller section of the town would have been preferable. Baden-Baden was stunning and a chance to see how the top 1% live. Dinner at an Inn on a lake in the Black Forest was superb. The best part of our tour was our guide Peter. His indepth knowledge of the areas past and present history were presented in a personable, amicable manner. What a classy gentleman.

Heidelberg is a beautiful city. I have so many memories of four visits I made as a teenager in the late 1950s. My visit in December 2024 was my first in 64 years! The Altstadt or old town, flanked by the River Neckar and the Heidelberg Castle on the hillside, is beautiful. Hauptstrasse (main street), is the longest pedestrian street in Germany. It was lively, full of shops and restaurants. The Christmas Markets that were located on the street were wonderful. Beautiful squares around the Church of the Holy Spirit and the Corn Market were just two. The illuminated Castle added to the magic. Crossing the iconic Alt Brűcke, walking on Philosophers Way, taking the funicular to the Castle and a cruise on the River Neckar made this visit so memorable.

We enjoyed the trip. I’m sure it’s much more popular when it’s warmer, but the offseason gave us a more intimate tour with only one other couple. We were able to make more stops for pictures. Our guide was excellent. He was funny and knowledgeable and gave us a very good experience. I noticed several lukewarm reviews on the food. It certainly wasn’t the best meal I’ve had, but it was okay. The restaurant deserves mention as it was full of TONS of nautical decor. You really have to see it to believe it. The owner was friendly. I’m not at all a wine connoisseur (snob), so I enjoyed the wine tasting. All in all, an enjoyable trip.

Worst packaged tour in Germany. The tour got cancelled once in want of minimum count of passengers, then when it was accepted, that day one passenger did not turn up, the whole team waited for 1 hour till it was found that the passenger will never come. Due to Christmas rush, we did not visit the fair, we rushed to places as it was getting dark. The cab driver wanted to recover the quota of tip from only 2 of us as other 2 did not turn up. Overall very bad experience. I will suggest people to carry enough cash to tip.

Guide was good, bus ride was very good, food and wine tasting was bland and tasteless. Overall scenic beauty is excellent and could enjoy money's worth

We had been traveling on our own to various Christmas markets and needed a day off from navigating. I enjoyed meeting the other travelers and listening to Michael’s entertaining narration. The cruise portion of our day was only 1.5 hours, with the rest being in a comfortable tour van. The highlight for me was the stop at the market at Rüdesheim. (Only during Christmas season)

This was very misleading. We thought we were having dinner or lunch on the boat and being on the boat for at least four hours, but this was not the case. We actually ate at a restaurant where the boat docked which had horrible food. We were actually only on the boat about one hour. Very disappointing. We did not get to go off the boat and go touring the little city. Way too expensive for the things that were offered.

Heidelberg was nice and the castle was interesting, but we really didn’t get to see much of either and the tour itself seemed disorganized. By the end of it there were only 8 of the 22 people on the tour that stuck with the guide. If it weren’t for the nice people we met that were also on the tour, my mom and I would have probably gone off on our own, too. Honestly, for the price, I’d skip this tour and just get there yourself if you really want to see the castle and town.

Wonderfully informative guide and a good variety of things to see. We had a few stops to get off the bus and take some photos, and never felt rushed to get back to the bus. This was an easy, informative, low activity tour which was perfect for my travel buddy on this trip. We had a lot of fun.

We had a knowledgeable and patient guide; Peter was fantastic. The giant wine barrel was undergoing construction, but still available to tour. The pharmacy museum is small and very well done. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather as the day was mostly outside. The views of the town from the castle were stunning. We also enjoyed the cable car ride and walking through town. Peter recommended a fantastic German restaurant for lunch. Our only critique is that none of the directions stated to meet in front of the Meridian hotel. We clicked on the address in the trip advisor app and it took us to the wrong meeting location.

I would give 3 stars rather then 1 star just because the beautiful museum line restaurant where we ate our lunch and nice cruise boat on Rhine Less said the better for customer service and reception The meeting time is 11:15 Am at W. Pl 38 . As usual we arrived 30 minutes earlier and stood at pick up point and as it was cold decided to go inside the lobby of Lemeredian which actually the address of W. Pl 38 We wanted to come out and stand on the road at around 11:10 Am, when we did there was none at the place . We panicked and called the ETS, who told curtly that that they would not pick up from hotel . We told the customer service lady that we are outside on the road and did not find anyone . We were told that how cone all others found the bus at 11:00 Am and sitting inside the bus which was parked opposite road . We told them that netting time is 11:15 Am and we expect someone to meet us . They arranged to send the guide from the bus to meet us . It was difficult to recognize as the guide was not wearing any badge or identification. We had to ask with our accent to confirm . Anyway we were able to catch the bus and continue the tour Note : you can see the castle from remote distance and highlight was the stature of Germanic Wine tasting later is inside the restaurant where we had our lunch . The guide explained well about the ice wines
