I am 87 years old and interested in booking this tour. Are there any age restrictions or exceptions I should be aware of?

We welcome all travellers on our tours but we would like to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible. Our tours are fast paced because they are designed for you to see the most a destination has to offer. We offer walking tours in most cities (up to 3 hours). Please ensure that you are happy with the level of fitness required for this tour.

When would we know the name of the hotel in Munich as the starting and end point? This information will help us to plan for the extra stay in Munich or transfer when needed.

At this stage, your departure is too far in advance for us to give you a confirmed starting hotel. Due to the fact that our hotels are subject to change, we do not provide inaccurate information beforehand to minimize any confusion that may be caused. We therefore suggest reaching out roughly 90 days prior for this information.

Can we cut our tour short and just leave for the train station when we get back to Munich on June 5th?

Yes, it is absolutely possible to leave the tour early if needed, and many travelers do this when they have onward plans. You're correct that the itinerary returns to Munich on June 5th, after visiting Nuremberg, with the evening free to explore the city before an overnight stay. The tour officially ends the following morning, June 6th. If you prefer, you can make your way to the train station after arriving in Munich on June 5th to catch your train. Just let your tour leader know in advance so they're aware of your plans.

Do you offer Gluten Free meals as options on your tours please?

Yes, we do take dietary requirements into consideration on our tours, including gluten-free meals whenever possible. Once you've booked your tour, you'll be asked to complete the Important Passenger Information (IPI) form, and that's where you can indicate any dietary needs. We'll then pass this on to your tour leader and operations so they can do their best to accommodate your request throughout the trip.

Please I am asking if it possible not to have the hotel reservation in the days that the tour will be in Munich

While we understand you'd like to skip the hotel in Munich since you're already based there, unfortunately, our tours are sold as complete packages, and it's not possible to remove or refund specific inclusions like accommodation for certain nights.

Where is it Agency belongs? I mean which country? And is English the only language the tour will hold with?

For the tour that you are interested in, it is operated by us (Expat Explore) with office registration in London. Yes, the tours we operate are only in English.

Rachel Brown was one of the best guides I've ever had and I've done heaps of tours on every continent in the world. Expat, Intro Travel, Intrepid, G Adventures. Her knowledge was great, she was very helpful to everyone on tour, laid down the rules of the tour very well, so that it ran extremely smoothly and was a lot of fun. Hope to come across her on another tour sometime in the future. Really great guide!Show more
