Historic Berlin This morning, join your Local Guide for a sightseeing tour of Berlin featuring views of the State Opera House, Museum Island, the Reichstag, Tiergarten Park, and the elegant Ku-Damm. Stop to take photos at the Brandenburg Gate, Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, and the Holocaust Memorial. Free time this afternoon and evening.

TOUR HIGHLIGHT
In 1961 East and West Berlin became physically divided by a concrete wall, leaving the Brandenburg Gate isolated in a restricted area. As the wall began to fall in 1989, the Brandenburg Gate was once more reachable, and it became a national symbol of peace and unity. Today it is Berlin's most famous landmark.

Breakfast

Day 5 ROTHENBURG–NEUSCHWANSTEIN

Fairytale Endings This morning, relax on a scenic drive along the world-famous Romantic Road, considered Germany’s most beautiful route, as it is dotted with timbered houses, pretty lakes, and rolling vineyards. Arrive in Neuschwanstein for a guided visit of King Ludwig’s castle, probably one of the most recognizable in the world, a source of inspiration for Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle. Enjoy some free time this evening and perhaps try some local specialties for dinner.

LOCAL FAVORITE
King Ludwig II of Bavaria, the “Fairy-tale King,” built a fantastical 1800s castle with all the modern conveniences (aka plumbing), while emphasizing the romantic vision of a storybook castle. His love for Wagnerian opera is literally plastered on the walls inside, with panoramas and frescoes of scenes from the composer’s great works. So romantic and fanciful of design, the Neuschwanstein Castle inspired Walt Disney’s blueprint of a castle fit for Sleeping Beauty herself.

TOUR HIGHLIGHT
Centuries ago, the residents of the beautiful Bavarian village of Oberammergau made a promise to God to re-enact Christ’s Passion if he would spare them from an outbreak of the Black Plague of 1633.

“I truly believe that being a Tour Director is the most fulfilling role in the world. Travel is my greatest passion, and I feel honored to be able to share my knowledge and personal experiences with my fellow travelers. One of my aims is to give guests a 'behind-the-scenes' glimpse of each destination. I particularly love the opportunities to go 'off the beaten track' and reveal the hidden treasures to experience the real country, to meet the real people, to hear their real stories. True to my Celtic roots, I am a passionate storyteller and I strive to make each place come alive. My tenet is to always deliver more than expected and I try to ensure that each guest goes home enriched with vivid memories that will last a lifetime and eager to come back for another European adventure.”
