During a morning in Koblenz, join a local guide for a walking tour of the city. Admire highlights such as the Deutsches Eck, or German Corner, the Old Town and the Schängel fountain, which stands in the courtyard of the Town Hall. Sail through the Rhine Gorge, overlooked by vineyards and castles, to Mainz. Set off on a walking tour into the Old Town of Mainz to see Mainz Cathedral, medieval houses and the exterior of the Gutenberg Museum, a building dedicated to the work of one of the city’s most famous former inhabitants, Johannes Gutenberg, inventor of movable type and book printing.

Nationwide shared chauffeur service from home to the airport
All-inclusive food and drink
