Germany Tours
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 and music tours to Berlin, Dresden and Munich; to music festivals in Leipzig and Berlin; or specific tours like Organs of Bach’s Time in Thuringia. Of course, Germany is above all renowned for its musical heritage, which is very much alive and thriving in the twenty-first century. Our tours to Germany visit many of the most prestigious concert venues and music festivals in the country to enjoy the world’s best musicians, whether the Philharmonie, the Leipzig Opera House or the Semperoper in Dresden.

Walking the Danube

I thought it was an ideal mix of concerts, recitals, lectures and walks.
Our lecturer was excellent. His informal style talks were interesting; his leadership on the walks excellent.I relished it all. The mixture of walking, visiting interesting buildings and music was lovely.
