Romantic Germany

This luxury tour is called Romantic Germany and it features a 13 day winding journey through nearly every major city in Germany. This tour covers quite a bit of ground in those two weeks, taking you from the Black Forest and Medieval castles to historic palaces and cosmopolitan cities.

If you’re in search of German architecture, history or even Helles (a popular Germany beer) you’ll not only find all that in more, you’ll also travel the country in style on this great tour. The Romantic Germany tour begins in the lovely city of Frankfurt, Germany. This Tauck tour kicks off with a very special tour down the Rhine river.
