Day tour to the Rhine Valley from Frankfurt

Explore one of the most beautiful destinations in Germany, The Middle Rhine Valley. The very spectacular section of the river from Rüdesheim to St. Goarshausen is UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you'll see a good part of it.The tour departure and return place is Frankfurt. You'll leave by bus or van, and you'll be accompanied by an English-speaking tour guide throughout the day. Only one hour away from the hecticness of urban living, you'll enjoy a magnificent panorama: the winding loops of the lower mountain ranges, the small, traditional villages, the steep terraces of the vineyards and so many mediaeval castles on both sides of the banks.You'll then take a lovely and relaxing ride on one of the steamer boats on the river. It is just one of the highlights during this excursion with an average duration of approximately 1,5 hours. Close to the river edge, you're going to have a stop for lunch at an extraordinary, richly decorated place and a good choice for a light or hearty meal in between.The tour also features an entertaining lesson in the history of wine growing dating back to ancient Roman times taking place in a cosy tavern along with some small tastes of local wines. In summertime there's also the option to join an "open air" cable car ride from the top of the hills into the valley – a short but great experience (the ride is not included in the tour price and can be booked on the spot for a small fee).
