Detailed itinerary:

Cologne: Enjoy the Old Town of Cologne kicking off with a Brewhouse tour to sample the best German beer. The following day our local guide will take you on a comprehensive walking tour of this city to admire the architecture such as the Cathedral which is one of the tallest in the world. You will also get to learn about the city's history and experience its hidden gems like a local.

Heidelberg: Known as the prettiest city in Germany, Heidelberg offers a sensory delight at every corner, with plenty of stories to be told by our expert guide. Take a walking tour through the charming streets up to the 700 year old castle overlooking the city and Rhine Valley. Not too far from the city you will get a nature fix with an invigorating hike through the stunning and unspoiled Odenwald Forest.

Baden-Baden: Start out with some leisure time in the city of Baden-Baden before indulging yourself in the Friedrichsbad like an ancient Roman, surrounded by historic ruins.

Munich: Best known for Oktoberfest, the city of Munich is Bavaria's biggest city bursting with character. You will be enlightened by Bavaria’s history, impressive architecture and local culture on a guided tour by a friendly local. This is before an enchanting visit to Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Palace which inspired fairytales, passing the spectacular Bavarian countryside en route. Your last day is a more sombre one with a day trip to Dachau concentration camp, the oldest in Germany and an insight into the darker side of recent history; a stark contrast to modern Germany.
