Itinerary
Visit Koblenz, where the Rhine and Moselle meet at the Deutsches Eck. First we take you to the mighty Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, Learn more about the history of Koblenz by visiting the museum at this place. The view from up here is breathtaking. Optional: You can take a walk through the fortress and learn more about the history and significance of this huge monument by purchasing an audioguide. The audioguide is not included in the tour price but available against a small fee. Then we take the cable for down to the Deutsches Eck. The monument at this place was built in the late 19th century and should symbolize the unity of Germany at that time. Afterwards you have free time to shop to your heart''s content in the old town of Koblenz or in the modern part. Those who prefer it a little quieter can relax in one of the beautiful parks or unwind in one of the numerous cafes in the old town.
In the afternoon we drive along the Rhine to a nice restaurant at the river edge where we have arranged dinner for you (beverages are not included).

Don’t book this tour. You run the risk of a guide who doesn’t care to guide you up to the fortress (although he is happy to repeat his political views and un-funny race-based “jokes” over and over again”), and an abysmal meal.
<p>Not what we expected, was just two of us in Mercedes with very nice driver, Peter.<br/> He showed us around Koblenze and was very helpful. Not sure the fortress was worth a special visit, but cable car and park were fine. Would recommend the trip, but if you know about battle emplacements the fortress is not particularly great.</p>
