Reviews of Small Group tours to Germany
- LEGENDS OF RHINE (Amsterdam-Mainz) MS River Diamond 5*
We had a wonderful time! The staff were excellent. Riverboat cruising is the perfect way to see Europe.
- Easy Bike and Barge Tour Amsterdam to Koblenz
We took the Iris Bike and Barge trip from Heidelberg to Amsterdam - it was FANTASTIC!! We loved everything about it from start to finish. The reservations were easy to make and Bike Planet quickly responded to any questions we had. The accommodations were beautiful - very very clean and nicely decorated. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every guest had an awesome experience. The meals were fantastic - five star restaurant meals. We look forward to doing another trip in the future - Lenny and Wouter were awesome and they made sure everyone had a great time and not only did they provide tons of information during the bike trip, you could also join them in the evenings of a walking tour of the village the Iris was docked at. The trip far exceeded our expectations.
What our customers ask about Germany Small Group Tours
What are the benefits of taking a small group tour through Bavaria?
Small group tours in Bavaria with 8-12 people access to historic sites. Travelers can explore Neuschwanstein Castle without the typical crowds and discover quiet corners of medieval Rothenburg ob der Tauber at their own pace. The intimate size means stays at family-run hotels like Hotel Hirsch Füssen and meals at local restaurants where larger groups can't fit. One TourRadar traveler noted "traveling in a small group gave us the flexibility to explore hidden gems and spend more time at places that interested us most."
What is the best season for small group tours in Germany?
The prime window for small group tours in Germany runs from May through September when mild temperatures and clear skies prevail. Summer tours like the Cycling Bavarian Lakes operate with 8-12 participants from June to September while walking tours in the Harz Mountains welcome groups from May until October. Local accommodations including Hotel Hirsch Füssen and Hotel Gut Voigtländer see peak activity during these months. Data from TourRadar shows most small group bookings concentrate in July and August.
What activity level can I expect on a small group hiking tour in Germany?
German hiking tours require moderate to advanced fitness with daily walks spanning 12-18km and climbs between 200-860m. Tours through the Harz Mountains take groups of 12 or fewer along routes like the Devil's Wall and up the Brocken peak at 1141m. Base camps at places like Berghaus Schwaben provide comfortable recovery between treks. According to TourRadar travelers "the small group size allowed for flexible pacing and individual attention from our guide during challenging sections."

First-time visitors often find 7-10 day routes connecting Munich Bavaria and Berlin provide the right mix of experiences.
