What To Expect
Come with us to one of the most beautiful destinations in Germany: The Middle Rhine Valley. The very spectacular section of the river from Rüdesheim to St. Goarshausen is UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will see a good part of it.
Assmannshausen
After approx. 1 hour we will reach the Rhine Valley by bus. Drive along the river banks, then up the hills. 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 for the Full Day Tour and 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 decorated 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.

5.00I went on the October 18 2025 tour. Peter did an excellent job as our guide! Peter is a nice man with a good sense of humor. The scenery is incredible on this tour. You will be sure to see castles built into the banks of the Rhine River. The boat travels up and down the Rhine River. The restaurant stop was nice - Good people at the restaurant! We had a really nice stop for photos on the way back to Frankfurt. This is a very nice day tour - Highly recommended!

4.00The cruise along the Rhine was lovely. The tour guide was very good and adjusted our tour to take in a chairlift because we were running early. Lunch was okay but not really authentic. It more like frozen chips and chicken schnitzel.
