More Moments Activities Included

  • Shared day tour of Rhine Valley

    Enjoy one of the most scenic destinations in Germany: the Rhine Valley, where a spectacular section of the river, from Rüdesheim to Koblenz, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The winding Rhine loops through mountain ranges, small, traditional villages and the steep terraces of vineyards. The mighty medieval castles on both sides of the bank form the magnificent panorama of this river landscape. Above the vineyards, you have a wonderful view of the valley. In the warmer seasons, it's worth taking a slow cable car ride down to the river (optional). This boat trip is one of the highlights of the journey. The Rhine Valley has a 2000-year-old, exciting history that you will learn more about: from the soldiers and settlers of the Roman Empire to the time of the knights in the Middle Ages, the farmers and monks, the international merchants and traders.
