Amazing whistle stop tour of Germany.So many places yet it didn't feel to rushed or too strenuous. The tour was well planned and the drivers exceilent. I had seen some these areas of Germany on battlefield tours before but it was lovely to see some of these places and many new ones with a different emphasis. We had guided tours in some areas arranged by leger but opted to look round on our own in others,a perfect combination.

Nice trip but very rushed and a bit disjointed. Some hotels weren’t very nice. Only two hotels had non slip surfaces in their bath/shower rooms and several people slipped, one requiring paramedic treatment. Our two drivers were lovely.
