  • K

    Katie

    Asked on February 18th, 2023

    Will this tour show lots of castles

    Tour Details
    • AmaWaterwaysOperatorWritten February 2023

      This cruise does allow you to view a lot of castles along the Rhine but due to the itinerary constraints, you will not be able to visit all of them. The main castle that the itinerary highlights is the Heidelberg Castle.
