The tour is amazing! Mikle our guide is absolutely the best! He gave us so much interesting information, I just have to plan another visit to Frankfurt to try everything he was talking about! The restaurant where we stop for a dinner is so interesting, I have never saw interior like that!!!! Food was not my taste, but I will definitely recommend to visit this place for drink and wonder around. You can easily spend few hour in the restaurant exploring all little things they collected and displayed. Boat ride was amazing! I didn’t want it to stop!

Our tour guide, Michael, was fantastic! We stopped in a couple of small towns for photo ops as well as a wonderful lunch at a very eclectic restaurant. We were given a nice wine tasting (including Eis Wein) to give us a nice idea of the local wines offered for our trip. The river cruise was awesome. The weather held for us, so that was a plus this time of year. I highly recommend this tour! This was my second time but a first for my friend.

This is an easy day trip and I would definitely recommend it! Since we were a small group of about 12, we were able to stop along scenic spots for photos and to enjoy the sights. Our guide Michael was funny and wonderful too. The wine tasting part was not so impressive but it was not the highlight of the trip anyway so that was ok.

Our guide Peter was excellent - very informative and a pleasant gentlemen. The castle tour was amazing and Peter informed us just enough to make it interesting - not overwhelming us with dates and facts. We would have liked to have a little more time downtown in the city, but overall very happy with our choice.

Excellent trip. Our guide Michael was entertaining and knowledgeable. The boat cruise was outstanding, especially since we had the boat to ourselves! And the castles were spectacular. I would recommend this trip to all!
