What people are saying about Rhineland-Palatinate

We had a wonderful tour guide, Willi, who showed us all the history of Heidelberg Castle and the town. He was very knowledgeable and we didn't miss a thing. Willi also had a great sense of humor! The Rhine River Tour was good until the sun set and then it was harder to see the castles along the river but it was mid-October and the sun set earlier. But, overall a great tour!

Mr Tony and especially Marcella were fantastic.

It was a wonderful day. Our guide moved seemlessly between languages. She was considerate and knowledgeable. The driver was steady and professional. The scenery speaks for itself. I'd go again.

I highly recommend this tour. Worth every cent!

Our tour guide George went out of his way to make) this a memorable experience. He kept surprising us with hidden treasures. Be sure to do this tour. You won’t regret it

Interesting tour with lots of background information. Nice guide. Thank you for taking my wheelchair with you.

A must for technology fans. We didn't need the film. But it was ok.
