LUXURY HOLIDAYS & TOURS GERMANY

A TREASURE HOUSE OF HISTORY & CULTURE

Do you think of soaring music of Beethoven, or the classic tales of the brothers Grimm? Do you picture fairytale castles poised high above a majestic river – or fast, edgy cities like Berlin?

Germany is a country that has had a profound influence on the shape of Europe. It stands at the heart of the continent, with nine different borders, so you might expect it to be a treasure house of history and culture, as well as a manufacturing powerhouse. But would you expect the exquisite beaches and sand dunes of the Baltic coast, away to the north? Are you quite prepared for the rush of history you’ll experience as you walk round Medieval walled cities like Rothenburg ob der Tauber? Are you ready to discover Roman civilisation in the ancient town of Trier?

Talk to one of our consultants about Germany and they’ll show you aspects of the country that you didn’t expect, as well as some of its true wonders. They’ll recommend a trip to its south eastern corner to visit the stunning Königsee – an achingly beautiful lake surrounded by misted mountains, top-of-the-world vistas and the idiosyncratically quaint St Bartholomä– standing on the very edge of the lake.

They will also reveal the best way to see it all. By train. Germany railways connect you to small towns and cities, Black Forest to Alpine slopes, with any number of marvels along the way.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”
This was our second big trip with The Ultimate Travel Company – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.
