Heidelberg and Rhine Valley Day Trip from Frankfurt

• Leaving Frankfurt from a central location at 9.30am onboard a modern air-conditioned coach you will travel 80km (50 miles) to Heidelberg. Said to be Germany's most beautiful city, you'll get to see all of its historic charm for yourself. Enjoy a tour around the ruins of Heidelberg Castle as you marvel at the city views below and the landscape views surrounding the castle. Be sure to stop and see the famous wine barrel, said to the largest in the world. Your guide will then take you to see the old town to see the most important sites including the Karl Theodor Bridge, the Church of the Holy Spirit, Heidelberg University, and more.
• You will then get back on the coach and travel to the Rhine Valley, passing picturesque villages, medieval castles, and vineyards on the journey.
• At Kaub you will disembark the coach and board the steamer boat for a relaxing cruise down the beautiful River Rhine heading towards the medieval town of Rudesheim. After the boat trip you will have a wine-tasting session followed by dinner in a riverside tavern before making the return journey to Frankfurt.
