Our Most Popular Deutschland Adventure

Two nights in historic Heidelberg, a visit to a fascinating castle in Erbach buried deep in the Odenwald Forest with a night in Germany’s oldest hotel, located in enchanting Miltenberg am Main. We then stay three nights in medieval Rothenburg ob der Tauber where you can learn about life in the middle ages with the famous “Night Watchman.” Wander the narrow lanes, walk the wall and eat in a place named for a destination where we all hope not to end up some day. (More on this later!) We travel down the The Romantic Road for two nights near King Ludwig’s Castles where we delve into the mind of “The Fairy Tale” King Ludwig the II.

Wander through Germany’s oldest castle at Meersburg and stroll along the shores of the Bodensee before two nights surrounded by The Black Forest where we savor authentic Black Forest cooking with a Mediterranean flair. Two nights surrounded by the many castles and quaint villages of the Rhein River along with perfectly-preserved Burg Eltz and the peaceful Mosel River Valley wrap up this 13-day adventure with return to America on the 14th day.

"Traveling with Jim is like traveling with your best friend plus with his knowledge, expertise, and language skills you see more and learn more. You can't find a better way to travel."

"I could never travel more than 100 miles away from home again without James and Jenean Derheim"
— Nancy Sauers, California

"We saw and did things we never imagined were possible, and we were truly spoiled the entire trip. The only problem with James is that he did such a great job, we would not want to travel again without him."
— Pete and Judy Hildebrandt, Oregon

"Jim & Jenean have created truly memorable journeys for our family.  Where ever we wanted to go, they found us great places to stay and fascinating places to see.  It makes me laugh when I receive mailings promising better — there is no better!"
— Lynn Patterson, Oregon

"My family has traveled with Jim the last two summers and we hope to have the opportunity to do so again in the future.  I wouldn't want to travel to Europe without him.  He is an extremely knowledgeable, gracious and overall outstanding tour guide."
— Tim Soliday, Arizona
