Start your tour with a regular diversified half-day trip to Heidelberg, the old
university town at the banks of Neckar-River, including a visit of the inner
courtyard of Heidelberg Castle and a lunchbox. After returning to Frankfurt, the
rest of the day in free for own activities.
Depart
from Frankfurt for a picturesque drive through the Spessart mountains to Würzburg,
on the banks of the river Main. Continue on the Romantic Road to Rothenburg ob
der Tauber, Germany’s well-preserved "Jewel of the Middle Ages" with
its ramparts, city gates, town hall and Jakobskirche (church) with an altar by
the famous wood-carver Tilmann Riemenschneider. Upon arrival in Rothenburg, a
taxi will take you to your hotel. In the afternoon or evening please join the
city walk with a local guide or the historic Night Watchman in Rothenburg.
After

coach drives along the Romantic Road passing such picturesque places as Dinkelsbühl
and Nördlingen, with high-gabled houses and cobbled-stone streets. Via
Augsburg, a metropolis during the Roman times and famous for old trade dynasties
during the Middle Ages, you reach Hohenschwangau in the evening.
In
the morning you receive your tickets for Neuschwanstein Castle at the front desk
of your hotel and visit the famous "Cinderella Castle", built by King
Ludwig II. In the late afternoon you proceed to Munich, where tour ends at
