Raves About Touring Germany

Germany is blessed with some of Europe's most high-powered sights. There's spectacular scenery — the jagged Alps, rolling hills of forests and farms, flower-filled meadows, and mighty rivers — dotted all over with castles and churches of every variety. But don't take our word for it. Tour members on our Best of Germany tour returned home with lots of raves, and here are just a few…

"Seeing the Rhine River valley, with a castle ruin on every hilltop, and the medieval town of Bacharach. It felt like a trip back in time."
