RICHARD & LUDWIG IN NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE FEBRUARY 6
Neuschwanstein Castle is the number one tourist destination in Germany. It is beloved by Americans for its inspiration of the Disney Castle. Built to honor the composer Richard Wagner, the castle has just become a candidate for the UNESCO designation “Patrimony of Mankind.” As opposed to most of the tours that concentrate on the scandalous upbringing of Ludwig and his “tragedy,” this tour focuses as much on the famous composer as well as the shy king. In addition to Neuschwanstein and a short stop for lunch in the castle town of Fuessen, there will also be a short stop at the UNESCO designated World Heritage Site of the Wieskirche and also Ettal Monastery. Price: $45 per adult, $22 per child under 12. Passport Required.
WEEKEND TOUR TO VENICE & VERONA ITALY FEBRUARY 26-28
In just one short weekend, you will see both Venice and Verona! On Friday afternoon, we drive to Vicenza where we will spend the night. Early Saturday morning, we make the short train trip to Venice where we will see great art and architecture, (Paul’s guided tours of the Accademia and the Scuola di San Rocco are renowned), pigeons in St. Mark’s Square, gondolas and more. We will again spend the night in Vicenza before our trip to Verona on Sunday. In Verona, we have the opportunity to tour the famous Romeo and Juliet city with its Roman Arena before dining at a wonderful restaurant and driving back to Garmisch. Price: Includes transport, hotel accomodation and breakfast; $299 per adult, $145 per child, $45 single supplement per night. Passport Required.
