Contours of the Rhine & Moselle
8 Day Coach Holidays - 7% Discount

Tour Highlights
Rudesheim, Rhine River Cruise, Eberbach Cloistures, Mainz, Boppard, Heidelberg, Cochem, Bernkastel, Hunsruck Railway

The valleys of the majestic Rhine and Moselle rivers are magical places, with sprawling vineyards clinging to almost vertical hillsides overlooking the carved gorges and valleys below. The traditional villages and towns hug the riverbanks and bring their own sense of charm and character to the region whilst the rivers ease their way past embattled castles and fairytale scenery. Our base is Assmannshausen, ideally located for enjoying the flavours of both valleys by coach, boat and train during this Grand UK coach holiday.

Your Itinerary

SUNDAY
From local departure points we head for the Channel, crossing to Calais and onward through Belgium and Germany to our hotel for seven nights, arriving for a late dinner.

MONDAY
A morning at leisure to acquaint yourself with your surroundings before we take the river taxi to nearby Rudesheim (ticket included) to enjoy this popular town, famed for the 'Drosselgasse'.

TUESDAY
Today we include a full day cruise on the Rhine as we glide through the spectacular Rhine Gorge and visit the riverside villages of Bacharach and St Goar, with views across to the famous Loreley Rock.

WEDNESDAY
This morning to Mainz, where a stroll along the Rhine or through the old town is recommended in this old university city. We continue across the river to Wiesbaden, an attractive and historic spa city, with fine gardens and a compact old town. We also include a ride on the Nerobergbahn (ticket included), a funicular railway powered by water, that ascends the Neroberg Hill for panoramic views of the city.
