After pickup from your Frankfurt hotel by luxury vehicle, your private guide will whisk you away to the Rhine Valley in the beautiful German countryside. This private day trip focuses on the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, from Rudesheim to Sankt Goarshausen — designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its dreamy scenery and remarkable history.
Admire views of romantic villages, pretty vineyards and medieval castles that frame the river, and enjoy commentary from your guide about the sights you see. Since this is a private tour, the exact itinerary is up to you, so you can pick from a variety of sights and activities.
Perhaps head to the Niederwald Monument or Lorelei Rock (Loreley Rock), take a relaxing boat ride down the Rhine River, or tour a medieval castle or fortress perched on a hill. Or maybe take a cable car ride down through the valley, marvel at old churches and abbeys scattered throughout the quaint towns, or head to a winery to taste prized local wines (this is a famous wine region, after all).
Your guide can recommend a riverside restaurant for lunch. On the way back to Frankfurt, stop in Rudesheim to briefly see the Drosselgasse, a 15th-century lane in the city’s Old Town. This narrow, cobblestone pedestrian street is brimming with lively restaurants, music venues, wine taverns and gardens.
Arrive back at your hotel in the early evening.
