Whimsical palaces and castles set the theme of this holiday. We stay in the wonderful Bavarian countryside, perfect for excursions along the Romantic Road, visit the mysterious Church of Weis and enjoy a rail journey up the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain.

What’s included
Itinerary
We meet at London St Pancras and take the Eurostar to Brussels, continuing to Würzburg, for two nights. On Day 2 we journey along the famous Romantic Road, a picturesque road filled with fairytale scenery of half-timbered villages, soaring forests, and enchanting castles. We travel to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, where a guided tour immerses us in local culture, heritage, and medieval music, followed by time to look around the town.
On Day 3, we discover Würzburg on a walking tour, exploring the wealth of beauty the city has to offer in its cobbled streets and grand Baroque architecture. Later, we travel by rail to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, set amongst the rugged Bavarian Alps, and our hotel for 5 nights.

It would have been 5 stars if the hotel meals had been better with more choice and larger portions.

Courier/guide was excellent, the castles were often spectacular, but humping cases on and off trains, and over steps up and down in stations was no fun at all.

I felt there were too many people on the tour which then meant we had to hang around for long periods after we had done the tours for loo and eating stops when more of interest could have been achieved if the group had been smaller.

My first experience with GRJ I really enjoyed the whole holiday, although I was disappointed in reference to the hotel accommodation in Garmisch. My room was inferior to those other single travellers although I paid the same amount for the holiday and would therefore expect the same standard of accommodation and the stay in Kolon on our return journey the hotel unfortunately was not geared up for 3 GRJ groups at the same time, there was insufficient food available at the evening dinner.

The hotel was excellent, the trips were interesting and ran on time, the weather was excellent (except once) and we just loved every minute!
