Willkommen! Bienvenue! Grüezi! Benvenuti!
One tour, five cultures in one sweep... You'll cross the snow-capped Alps on breathtaking roads, follow country lanes through pretty villages lined with half-timbered houses and cruise lakes and rivers along legendary mountain ranges and steep cliffs. You'll listen to the trumpet echo from dramatic mountainsides and follow in the footsteps of a lunatic king.

You will enjoy views from Mediterranean lakefront coffee houses and relish the rustic atmosphere of traditional Bavarian inns. We pave the way into a world of medieval market towns and scenes clouded in secrecy where epochs past and present are alive and interwoven. Even the Stone Age is on the agenda. You will never feel rushed, because we have a lot places on our itineraries which are off the beaten track where you will have time to take unique photos. Romantic and stunning panoramic roads through the hinterland set the pace of your journey. But most of all you will discover hidden treasures, because you won't just follow the crowds. And at most of the places we visit we have several wonderful alternatives for experiencing local life.
