Nestled in the southwestern corner of Germany, Breisach is just a proverbial stone's throw from neighboring Switzerland and France along the beautiful Rhine River. Spend a day enjoying the charms of Breisach, which survived WWII well and still preserves much of its 16th-century design and atmosphere. With excellent places to hike around the city for active explorers, Breisach also offers opportunities for cycling through the Rheinau woods, visiting nearby Freiburg, or taking a walking tour of the Riesling-producing town of Riquewihr. Breisach is featured on many cruises between Basel, Switzerland, and Amsterdam and cruises frequently stop in the Rhine River port of Strasbourg, France.

Nearby ports of call for your Rhine River cruise include Strasbourg (France), Rudesheim (Germany), Basel (Switzerland), and Amsterdam (Netherlands).
Hannah and Nur got the gist of what we wanted our trip to be. They got us in hotels that were located centrally to historic tours. Tours and excursions that were significant, enriching and enjoyable. We had drivers that were on time/reliable. We got from location to location with ease. I would never have been able to plan this myself. I would not have known enough to ask for what we needed. This was above and beyond what I expected. Well done!
