Time to shop, then drive into the Palatinate wine region and visit the picturesque town of St Martin.

During a wine tasting, learn about the region’s excellent Riesling wines. Visit of Berwartstein castle, the only medieval castle in the Palatinate region that is still completely intact.

The new policy covers the client (you) in the event you are unable to participate in the tour after you have made payment for any of the following stated conditions:

1. Death of the client (or client’s spouse, child, or parent within 4 weeks of the date of the scheduled tour).

2. Illness of the client (or the client’s spouse, child, or parents) that prevents the client from participating in the tour and requires the client to care for their spouse, child, or parent.

This condition expands on our current policy that allows a refund if the client is a military member and is required to perform military duty during the date(s) of the scheduled tour. In this case, the military member’s spouse and /or children would be permitted to cancel the tour and be entitled to a full refund (less cancellation policy fee) if they did not wish to take the tour without their spouse/parent.

Important COVID-19 Information

Vaccination Status

Effective 01 February 2022, most European countries consider a person fully vaccinated 14 days after the second dose of vaccine has been administered. A single dose of Johnson & Johnson is not considered fully vaccinated, a second dose of a European recognized COVID-19 vaccine needs to be administered to maintain a fully vaccinated status. This fully vaccinated status is valid for 120, 180 to 270 days (this varies from country to country). To maintain a fully vaccinated status, and meet current entry requirements for most EU countries a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine need to be administered before the deadline elapses. Failure to meet this requirement will result in a change of vaccination status from fully vaccinated to unvaccinated. COVID-19 health documentation is mandatory to travel on all tours, please see the Travel Documents section below for details on the current COVID-19 documentation that is required for adults and children traveling on our tours.

Adults and passengers 12 years and older must provide proof of fully vaccinated status or a letter of recovery in QR CODE format.
Children ages 6 -11 with fully vaccinated status or letter of recovery in QR CODE format can participate on both day and overnight tours.
Children of ALL AGES (unless specified otherwise on individual tour pages) who are unvaccinated can participate on day tours when they provide a negative COVID-19 test that is valid through to the scheduled tour return time.
