Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Wiesenhüttenplatz, Wiesenhüttenpl., 60329 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Leave the city of Frankfurt behind for an unforgettable day trip to the Rhine Valley - an area UNESCO counts to the World Heritage of mankind.


Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Niederwald Monument (Niederwalddenkmal), Ruedesheim am Rhein, Hesse Germany

Full Day Rhine Tour:
After approx. 50 minutes we will reach the Rhine Valley by bus.
Drive along the river banks, then up the hills to the Niederwald Monument. Enjoy a fantastic view over the valley and the beauty of its nature. If you like you can join the delightful ride with the ropeway down into the valley (only in summertime), it is available on a small extra fee.
Right at the river edge, a short walk leads to the restaurant, a lovely place in Ruedesheim-Assmannshausen. A light lunch is served at this richly decorrated and furnished place with original antiquities. Drinks as well as dessert are not included in the lunch arrangements.
We will leave the restaurant and walk to the pier to embark one of the typical white Rhine steamer ships. Slowly downstreaming the most beautiful part of the valley passengers will enjoy the stunning scenic beauty of the river panorama.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Loreley, Rhein Gorge, Sankt Goarshausen, Rhineland-Palatinate Germany

Approx. one and a half hour later we have reached the famous Loreley Rock: The famous poem of Heinrich Heine describes the beautiful female sitting on the cliff above the Rhine and combing her golden hair, distracting shipmen with her beauty and song, causing them to crash on the rocks.
At St. Goarshausen we will disembark.
After the boat ride we will return alongside the river banks by bus, the road leads directly along the Rhine shores.
Time for another rest: we offer a wine tasting. Those who do not want to attend may enjoy free time for a private stroll, photo shooting, a cup of coffee or just watching the ships going by up and down the river.


Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Drosselgasse 1, 65385 Ruedesheim am Rhein, Hesse Germany

The excursion is slowly coming to an end. A last little distance along the river and, if time allows, a short stop in the old village of Ruedesheim for a bit souvenir shopping and on we got the access the highway back to Frankfurt
Half Day Rhine Tour (in the afternoon):
For those with less than a full day to spare, choose the half-day Rhine Valley Trip to enjoy a Rhine river cruise (from Kaub to Assmannshausen) followed by a wine-tasting session and dinner.

Our experience was mixed. The welcome, bus ride, river ride and guide were excellent. We had an excellent guide who was a great mix of funny and helpful. He made the trip pleasant. The boat trip was fine but seemed short. The views were lovely even if the "castles" we saw were nothing memorable. We did have an excellent bottle of sparkling wine for 28€. The "Irish" coffee they recommend was around 9€. The lunch was a disaster. So bad in fact that you should skip it and bring your own lunch. It was poor quality, some reheated canned mess and the wine was equally bad. There is a wine tasting at the end back in the restaurant. You are given 4 thimbles of wine. I really don't see the point of it and it would have been a better choice to spend another hour on the boat. The experience if pricey for what you get. The tour guide should leave to form his own tour.

This was an amazing trip and excellent value for money. We were picked up at 11 am in Frankfurt and driven through part of the Rhine Valley for our included lunch. En route we were given an interesting and informative outline of the area and its history. after lunch we embarked on the boat for a one and a half hour cruise along the Rhine, including a visit to the Loraley Rock. Later we disembarked and drove back to Frankfurt with a stop for souvenirs. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative and the drive very careful. All in all a magical day!

The boat trip and Niederwald Park were great. Our guide was very informative and funny. It would be nice to have wine tasting while on the boat. The gift shop had quality items and not just junk.

Going tour guide, great knowledge of the history and place. Good lunch place. Value for money tour. I think the timing was good but for some weather issues

This was a great day. We had beautiful weather and the lunch was excellent. Really enjoyed the riverboat cruise. Our guide and driver Michael really made the trip special. I highly recommend this trip, especially in good weather.
