Budget Tours & Trips to Germany Reviews
- 8 Days in Munich and Berlin
The tour was very well organized and the communications were definitely 5 star. One thing to keep in mind, with this type of tour your you are visiting sites with a new group everyday. Our three days in Munich comprised three day trips around the city all run from the same tour company office but with a unique guide and different group. Our group sizes ranged from 30 or so to 6. In Berlin, there was one half-day side trip to Potsdam and a Hop-on Hop off bus tour for a day; to get the most from the city, you need to do some planning on your own. My only point of dissatisfaction was the hotel in Munich was changed about a month before the tour began. The replacement hotel was presented as a 3 star hotel. I do not believe this was a 3 star hotel. However, it was clean and well situated near both the train station and the tour office. The Munich hotel was in contrast with the Berlin hotel which was very nice.
- Christmas Markets on Rhine, MS Vista Rio
Very good food and house maintenace
