Germany Guided Vacations

Seasonal Tour Packages Available

Germany is a wonderful country to visit at any time of the year. In the summer, riverboat tours on the Rhine River are a favorite, as well as packaged walking tours in the major cities and Bavarian villages. Most German towns celebrate Oktoberfest, and these events are a huge draw for international visitors. In winter, the sparking lights of the smaller Bavarian villages are a tourist's delight. Countless pre-arranged escorted tours of the cities and countryside make it easy to explore the best of Germany.

By Air, Train Or Car

A visit to Germany can include a number of smaller tours booked together or separately, and tourists often take advantage of the relatively small size of the country and drive between the major attractions. Many of the package tour deals offer a number of transport options between cities, such as rail trips connecting passengers to their next area of interest. Germany has a number of domestic air carriers that operate regular service between all the major cities and other tourist destinations.

The Black Forest And Medieval Culture

No visit to Germany would be complete without exploring the famous Black forest region of the country, with its multitude of medieval castles and fortresses. Many escorted tours are available that take visitors back in time to the Dark Ages; these are among the most exciting and educational tours in all of Europe.

Museums And The Arts

Not only Munich and Berlin, but a host of other cities in Germany are the home to famous museums depicting the centuries of fascinating history of Central Europe. Music lovers will find no shortage of entertainment provided by a number of world class symphony orchestras, and outdoor music festivals are found throughout the country.

Types Of Escorted Germany Tours

These range widely, from city tours that take visitors between the major metropolitan areas of Berlin, Munich, Dresden, Frankfort and Hamburg, to carefully packaged romantic holiday and honeymoon tours in the southern part of the country. The latter are very popular; newlyweds and engaged couples delight in staying at historic bed and breakfast lodgings between rail tours or carriage rides in the Black Forest and foothills of the Alps.

Geography and Climate

Germany is located between the maritime countries of Western Europe and the continental nations to the east, and borders a total of nine other countries. The North Sea and Baltic Sea are split by Denmark to the north, while the Alps rise steeply to the south. The climate is moderate, with crisp but short winters and summers that are comparable to the eastern seaboard of the United States or central Great Britain. The landscape is quite lush, with rainfall amounts adequate to keep the countryside green and inviting.

Germany is truly a visitor’s delight, and taking a series of escorted tours is the best way to see the most of what the country has to offer. Take advantage of special pricing on combined tours and start planning a dream vacation. Willkommen in Deutschland! -- Welcome to Germany!
