from Frankfurt: River Rhein, Ruedesheim, Loreley and Mini Cruise
Incredibly cozy trip
If you are considering booking a private tour, don't hesitate! We were pleased to have Maik as our host, and it made all the difference. He was not only professional and punctual, but also incredibly nice and knowledgeable. It felt more like being shown around by a local friend than a formal guide. We learned so much and were left with fantastic memories (and pictures!). Thank you very much for a wonderful day!
