    The Best of Germany tour was such an amazing experience that I'll never forget. The itinerary was really great, especially in such a short amount of time. Amy was full of knowledge about this beautiful country & I really enjoyed listening to the history of the country & the passion she bought to the tour. The hotels were great, although no air con can be quite challenging when it's a hot day, but so many European hotels are similar - so more just something to note. I do wish we spent more time away from the major cities & was able to explorer more of the regional parts of Germany e.g. Black Forest, Rothenberg etc. Overall such an incredible time in Germany & would absolutely use Trafalgar again.

    The tour director, Mike, was fabulous. We saw so many sights in 12 days that we would never have been able to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were all great. A fantastic trip!

    WAY too much bus time which unfortunately means not enough time at any of the locations; I would recommend Trafalgar, but definitely not the Best Of Germany tour.

    I loved my Best of Germany tour! Saw all the highlights of Germany — from its history to the magic and fairy tale towns. Our tour director Kurt Schwarz went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time — and helped me with my own arrangements to leave the tour for a concert for one day. Our driver Peter was so sweet and excellent. We always felt safe. The hotels were A plus, the breakfasts amazing... and the whole experience was fun and stress free. I would highly recommend... I can’t wait to go back! Thank you Kurt, Trafalgar and Tour Radar for an amazing experience I won’t forget! :D
