Day 1

After early pick ups we head south to Dover for our channel crossing to France and onwards to the Rhine Valley. We arrive at our family run hotel in time for a late evening dinner.

Day 2

Today we include an excursion to bustling Rudesheim, where will find historic half-timbered houses and the Drosselgasse in the heart of the old town is a magnet for tourists. If you're feeling adventurous, you may also like to take the opportunity take the cable car which 'flies' over the vineyards up to the imposing Niederwald Monument for magnificent birds eye views of the Rhine.

Day 3

After breakfast the day is at leisure to spend as you wish in the charming resort of Kamp Bornhofen, well known throughout Germany for its famous pilgrimage church and monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary. You may like to take the opportunity to hop on board one of the Rhine river cruises which depart within walking distance of the hotel in Kamp Bornhofen and sail downstream past several hillside castles towards the famous Loreley Rock, providing the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the region from a different angle.
This evening after an early dinner we head off to Oberwesel where we will experience the wonderful Rhine in Flames spectacular - a seemingly endless procession of ships decorated with coloured lights sail in the darkness to provide a magnficent sight as they majestically glide along the river, accompanied by fireworks magically illuminating the surroundings and night sky. We return to the hotel very late soon before or after midnight.

B, D

Day 4

A full day excursion takes us to the traditional German town of Cochem. Located in one of the most romantic parts of the Moselle Valley and situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are few towns in Germany that can match the sheer charm and beauty of Cochem.

B, D

Day 5

Sadly we have to say ‘auf weidersein’ to our German hosts and begin our journey back to Calais for our crossing to the UK and home.
