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.

4.00Wonderful experience! Tour was on time and kept to schedule. Host Georg and driver Andreas were spectacular and very knowledgeable and engaging. Such beautiful scenery, both from the very clean and new coach, and from the boat along the Rhine. Lunch was at a quaint restaurant, with lots to look at, food was good but not as nice as I expected. The wine tasting on the return trip was at the same restaurant. It would have been better to go to a different place. We sampled 4 local wines, which were lovely, but I expected this part of the experience to be a little more authentic. Time allowed for an additional stop at the Germania state, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, a wonderful day!
