Sail the romantic Rhine River and follow its remarkable route, meandering between sheer rocks, past small islands and fortified castles sitting high above the vineyards - evidence of an eventful past, enriched by great myths and legends. Then discover the unexplored gems of the Moselle, a wonderful river that also cuts through vineyards planted up the steep sloping river banks and hillsides, flowing past fortified castles and typical towns and villages where medieval-style houses have slate roofs and half-timbered walls.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
