This tour accommodates up to 30 people and incorporates castles directly on the Rhine River and on the Moselle, Neckar and Main tributaries. The nine-day tour takes you through several cities on the Rhine, including Koblenz, Cologne and Rudesheim. You will view some of the castles from the outside only as you travel down the Rhine by boat, since there are so many castles to see. Tours will be arranged for more significant castles, like the 11th century Marksburg and the 12th century Burg Eltz. Your tour includes all land and river transportation as well as guide and entrance fees. The package incorporates seven nights of accommodation, seven breakfasts and six three-course meals into its price. Airfare is arranged separately.

This is a seven-day, six-night self-guided tour that includes five breakfasts and a rental car in the package. The exciting thing about this tour is that you will actually stay in a few medieval castles. The historic castles in Rothenburg and Heidelberg have been converted into picturesque bed and breakfasts. You will spend five of your six nights in three different castles. The castles near Heidelberg and Oberwesel were built during the 12th century, while the Rothenburg castle is a thousand years old. During your night in Cologne, you will stay overnight in a five star hotel, next to Cologne Cathedral. The cost of your flight is not included in this package.

You may not wish to devote your whole trip to Germany to touring castles on the Rhine River. If that is the case, a one day excursion on the Rhine may be what you are looking for. This package includes a tour of either Burg Rheinstein or Burg Reichenstein, as the castle tours are rotated on a seasonal basis. After the tour, you will take a river cruise to view historic sites and castles along the Rhine. Your day tour also includes a three course meal, wine tasting, guide services and transportation by motor coach. This is a great option if you would like to see some highlights of the Rhine area and are not interested in an all-inclusive package.
