Itinerary
Day Day 1 - Arrive Frankfurt
Welcome to Frankfurt - a city renowned for its old-world charm and modern sophistication which you will have a brief opportunity to explore before meeting your Travel Director this afternoon for an orientation of the medieval Römerplatz and dynamic financial district. This evening, enjoy a Welcome Reception with your fellow travellers, including a light meal and welcome drink to kick off your discovery of the best of Germany and a memorable Oberammergau experience.
Day Day 2 - Frankfurt – Rhine Cruise – Cologne
Resist the alluring calls of Lorelei and board your leisurely cruise along the Rhine. Glide past vineyard-clad hills, stopping to 'Connect with Locals' for a Be My Guest lunch at a 13th- century castle perched high above the river valley. Share stories of knights and feuding lords and ladies over lunch before continuing to Cologne. Here, we will view the Gothic spires of its magnificent cathedral during our orientation of the city.
