In the morning your coach will take you to the famous Rudesheim, where – after a stroll through the world - famous Drosselgasse you board a steamer to take you along
wine yards and castles, some of them more than 1000 years old to St. Goarshausen, just beyond Loreley – Rock. Maybe you see the blond maid combing her hair from the deck of your steamer. Continue by coach to Koblenz, the city, where Moselle river meets the Rhine, and from there you drive on to Cologne. Evening at
leisure to explore some local breweries, where the “Kolsch” (light beer served in small glasses) can be sampled.

Starting at the cathedral of Cologne, which is one of the largest gothic churches in Europe, your city-tour will lead you through small old-town alleys and splendid avenues to the Rhine-River with its bridges and parks.
