While the tour we took (through RTT) started at 6:30 AM, we enjoyed a nice nap on the bus on the way to Burg Richtenstein. We had the castle to ourselves for a couple of hours. We made a stop at a wine shop where we received a free sample of some eiswein and peach brandy, but the wait here... More

We had a perfect day for a rhine river cruise. The weather was great, so we spent the entire duration of the cruise on the top (open) deck. We saw many castles and took lots of photos. More

There was scenic cruising along the Lorelei where the German... More

We booked through Affordable Tours and found that our flight accommodations were better in comparison to a lot of the other guests who booked through Viking. The... More
