Full description

Discover the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Rhine Valley, with its vineyards and picturesque towns and villages. See the mighty medieval castles – the area has the highest density of such buildings in the world.

Marvel at the stunningly beautiful "Lorelei-Felsen," or Siren's Rocks, and enjoy fantastic views over the valley from the Niederwald monument. In the summer you can ride on the Assmannshausen cable car down into the valley (optional), have lunch in a marvelous restaurant on the banks of the Rhine (included), and then take a wonderful Panorama boat trip to St. Goarshausen, past the famous Loreley. Try fine wines on location in a small tavern and or just lose yourself in the picturesque little town of Rüdesheim. Please note that the tour will only stop at Rüdesheim if time allows. 

In winter time it may be possible that steamers do not operate in case of bad weather or water conditions. In this case, you will visit a castle instead. You'll travel back to Frankfurt by bus when the tour is finished and will be dropped off at the meeting point.

Includes
  • Boat trip on the Rhine
  • Lunch
  • Local wine tasting
  • English speaking tour guide
  • Assmannshausen cable car ride into the valley

Important information

Know before you go

  • Please note that the availability of audio guides in all languages cannot be guaranteed.
  •  This tour operates with a minimum of four passengers, however, the total is calculated by adding up the bookings from all guests (this means you can also book for only 1-3 people).
  • Due to climate change, sometimes the distances / departure times of our boat rides in the valley may change because of high or low waters. However, if a boat ride is impossible it will be replaced with a visit of a castle. This also refers to wintertime, on those days when boats are not running.

The tour is amazing! Mikle our guide is absolutely the best! He gave us so much interesting information, I just have to plan another visit to Frankfurt to try everything he was talking about! The restaurant where we stop for a dinner is so interesting, I have never saw interior like that!!!! Food was not my taste, but I will definitely recommend to visit this place for drink and wonder around. You can easily spend few hour in the restaurant exploring all little things they collected and displayed. Boat ride was amazing! I didn’t want it to stop!

This is an easy day trip and I would definitely recommend it! Since we were a small group of about 12, we were able to stop along scenic spots for photos and to enjoy the sights. Our guide Michael was funny and wonderful too. The wine tasting part was not so impressive but it was not the highlight of the trip anyway so that was ok.

Our tour guide, Michael, was fantastic! We stopped in a couple of small towns for photo ops as well as a wonderful lunch at a very eclectic restaurant. We were given a nice wine tasting (including Eis Wein) to give us a nice idea of the local wines offered for our trip. The river cruise was awesome. The weather held for us, so that was a plus this time of year. I highly recommend this tour! This was my second time but a first for my friend.
