City & Culture Tours & Trips in Germany
Ever wanted to understand German culture beyond beer and castles? When you go on in-depth trips, you spend more time learning about history, like Berlin's WWII and Cold War sites, Munich's beer culture and Bavarian traditions, and the romanticism of the Rhine Valley. Attend classical concerts, visit Bauhaus sites, and understand regional differences between Bavaria, Rhineland, and the North. Germany's complex, and it’s time to explore.

Nick • traveled in March, 2026
Overall we were very happy with our tour. Itinerary was well organised. We really enjoyed the numerous tour stops and a wonderful experience visiting this part of Germany. Itinerary aside, we had good weather throughout the tour. Our dedicated English speaking guide did a great job in a bus comprising other Spanish and Portuguese tourists. Well done, Ro. It's been a worthwhile trip for my Mrs and myself. The Europamundo app are really helpful for individual travellers like us.

Kim • traveled in September
Really enjoyed this tour. It was exactly what we were looking for, the independence to do what we wanted on some days and some tours organised for us on other days. Communication from Tour radar was great through What’s App. The only thing we would change would be to upgrade the two 3 star motels to 4 star motels.
