Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Wiesenhüttenplatz, Wiesenhüttenpl., 60329 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Leave the city of Frankfurt behind for an unforgettable day trip to the Rhine Valley - an area UNESCO counts to the World Heritage of mankind.


Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Niederwald Monument (Niederwalddenkmal), Ruedesheim am Rhein, Hesse Germany

Full Day Rhine Tour:
After approx. 50 minutes we will reach the Rhine Valley by bus.
Drive along the river banks, then up the hills to the Niederwald Monument. Enjoy a fantastic view over the valley and the beauty of its nature. If you like you can join the delightful ride with the ropeway down into the valley (only in summertime), it is available on a small extra fee.
Right at the river edge, a short walk leads to the restaurant, a lovely place in Ruedesheim-Assmannshausen. A light lunch is served at this richly decorrated and furnished place with original antiquities. Drinks as well as dessert are not included in the lunch arrangements.
We will leave the restaurant and walk to the pier to embark one of the typical white Rhine steamer ships. Slowly downstreaming the most beautiful part of the valley passengers will enjoy the stunning scenic beauty of the river panorama.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Loreley, Rhein Gorge, 56346 Sankt Goarshausen, Rhineland-Palatinate Germany

Approx. one and a half hour later we have reached the famous Loreley Rock: The famous poem of Heinrich Heine describes the beautiful female sitting on the cliff above the Rhine and combing her golden hair, distracting shipmen with her beauty and song, causing them to crash on the rocks.
At St. Goarshausen we will disembark.
After the boat ride we will return alongside the river banks by bus, the road leads directly along the Rhine shores.
Time for another rest: we offer a wine tasting. Those who do not want to attend may enjoy free time for a private stroll, photo shooting, a cup of coffee or just watching the ships going by up and down the river.


Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Drosselgasse 1, 65385 Ruedesheim am Rhein, Hesse Germany

The excursion is slowly coming to an end. A last little distance along the river and, if time allows, a short stop in the old village of Ruedesheim for a bit souvenir shopping and on we got the access the highway back to Frankfurt
Half Day Rhine Tour (in the afternoon):
For those with less than a full day to spare, choose the half-day Rhine Valley Trip to enjoy a Rhine river cruise (from Kaub to Assmannshausen) followed by a wine-tasting session and dinner.

Great day on the Rhine. Had a very enjoyable day, with lunch and wine tasting at a very original and unique restaurant near the Rhine. Then had a leisurely cruise on the Rhine with guided commentary on the sites we passed for a good 90 minutes. We then joined our coach again for our return trip to Frankfurt, with a stop on the way to pick up some souvenirs! Our guide, Mischer, and driver Andreas, were very informative, friendly and polite. Would definitely recommend this tour!

The enormous amount of detail provided by our superb guide added to the beauty of the river and the most uniques lunch and wine tasting made it wonderful. He knew so much he was eager to get every possible sidelight into our trip.

The Rhine Valley itself is all you need to say. We got some history and incredible views. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The boat and bus were clean.

This tour is for beginners only. It’s an hour and some of cruising down the Rhine, with the same view of pretty houses and old semi castles. Not worth the money

Cruising the Rhine River and seeing a Castle at almost every turn. Our guide was above excellent. He took great pain to ensure we enjoyed the day. I was a little skeptical about the restaurant after reading several comments, but we were very pleased with quality and portion. The waitstaff was fine.

Fun guide and beautiful scenery…Recommended by my son who took the tour 2 weeks ago. The meal was not as good as I hoped.
