The play was outstanding but the German authorities by rail, road and river set challenges - which our guide helped us address. Do not underestimate the physical contribution needed for an adventure with so many moving parts and where adjustments to the schedule are to be expected. Travel light and take a small torch for the play.

`The problems which arose were handled expertly by the+ excellent Great Rail Tour Managers. These were the after effects of the Garmisch-Partenkirchen derailment and the Trip Hazard at Cologne as tour groups were leaving the ship.

Oberammergau passion play was an experience I shall never forget but the rhine cruise is one I hope to forget as it did not meet expectations with 2 of our stops not happening +other unresolved problems

The Passion Play was wonderful BUT the cruise part was very unsatisfactory as several stops and excursions did not take place.
