City tour Mainz
Mainz looks back on a long city history and holds impressive buildings, monuments and museums. Today's Old Town, with its winding streets and alleys around Augustinerstrasse, which was the city's main shopping street until the 17th century, is a clear reminder of the medieval and early modern cityscape. The magnificent baroque facade of the Augustinian Church, which survived the war unscathed, towers integrated into the front of the houses. Baroque splendorous buildings, noble palaces and the "Heunensäule" on the market square are contemporary witnesses of the electoral era. Your tour will also take you to the mighty Mainz Cathedral of St. Martin. Let this city tour introduce you to the ages and many faces of Mainz.

City tour / walk Strasbourg
Idyllic half-timbered streets, cozy wine taverns and, of course, the impressive cathedral make a visit to this historic city an experience. Due to the seat of numerous European institutions, such as the Council of Europe, the European Parliament and the European Court of Human Rights, a political wind also blows through the border city on the Rhine. The entire city center of Strasbourg was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988 due to its diverse architectural heritage. On Republic Square you can admire the Rhine Palace, the National Library and the Opera. Afterwards, stroll through the picturesque Tanners' Quarter. On the way to the historic city center you will encounter the coziness of the Alsatians. Passing old inns and delicatessen stores, the excursion takes you to Notre-Dame Cathedral. Your guide will explain at length the special features of the cathedral and numerous interesting stories about its construction and architecture. In the cathedral itself, things get exciting: you are there when the astronomical clock strikes the "full" hour and different figures breathe life into the clock. After the tour of the cathedral there will be some free time. The bus, which is already waiting for you nearby, will then take you back to the ship.

With its more than 2,000-year history, Koblenz is one of the oldest cities in Germany. The original Latin name Confluentes (meaning: those who flow together) is due to the city's location. Koblenz is located at the mouth of the Moselle and Rhine, the so-called "German Corner". Get to know the historic old town on a walking tour. The idyllic alleys between the Basilica of St. Kastor, the oldest church building in Koblenz, and the Church of Our Lady give Koblenz a special charm. The walking tour takes you to another landmark of the city, the Schängelbrunnen fountain at the city hall, which is a monument to the Koblenz Schängel, a rascal. Following your tour, a highlight awaits you: a cable car ride across the Rhine to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. Experience Koblenz from a bird's eye view and then take a leisurely stroll through the fortress park.

Bad Ems delights its visitors with magnificent baroque buildings and wonderful spa architecture. Its unique historical setting has its origins in the emperor's spa's storied past, which even dates back to Roman times. Numerous celebrities from European history were welcome guests in Bad Ems.
