11.Heidelberg and Rhine Valley Day Trip With Wine Tasting and Dinner from Frankfurt

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 101 reviews · from $309

Tour Heidelberg Castle, cruise the Rhine Valley, and sample regional wines on an ambitious 11-hour day trip from Frankfurt.

“First, the tour was not what it was advertised to be. The bus driver was on of the worst drivers ever. Dozing off, all over the rode, nearly crashing into other vehicles. Had to wake up the tour guide to ask if the driver was under the influence. One of the scariest bus rides I have ever been on. The wine tasting was a joke, they gave a size taste of wine. I would never book another tour through them. 1/2 star for the tour guide who was knowledgeable.”
