Cultural tours in Germany
Listening to Baroque music in the roof space of a medieval salt warehouse in beautiful Regensburg is just one among many imaginative offerings in our small-group tours of Germany. The country’s unique musical heritage forms the core of many itineraries – celebrating the genius of Bach, Wagner, Shostakovich and many more, we arrange private concerts and festivals in historically appropriate settings as well as internationally renowned venues and bring you the finest of virtuosic performers – and we also make it possible to combine music with country walks, history, art and architecture.
Germany brims with Baroque splendours and monumental grandeur, from small towns to mighty Berlin, from the magnificent follies of Ludwig II in Bavaria to the palaces of Frederick the Great at Potsdam. An incidental pleasure is discovering the unspoilt landscapes of hidden corners, especially in the former GDR, and we also ply the Danube and the Main in luxury cruisers. Daily talks and lectures from experts including Tom Abbott help complete our comprehensive picture of Europe’s most powerful nation.
