Germany

Our small-group tours to Germany visit a wide range of fascinating historic towns and cities in a country perhaps somewhat neglected in comparison to other European countries. The tours to Germany cover numerous facets of German history and culture, from Art in Munich to Opera in Dresden & Leipzig, modern architecture in Berlin, Organs of Bach’s Time in Thuringia and the decennial passion plays in Bavaria in Obermamergau.


Of course, Germany is above all renowned for its musical heritage, very much alive and thriving in the twenty first century. Our Germany tours visit many of the most prestigious concert venues and music festivals in the country to enjoy the world’s best musicians, whether the Staatsoper Unter den Linden and the Philharmonie in Berlin, the Leipzig Opera House or the Semperoper in Dresden.
