Apr 4 - Apr 11, 2026
we have not used a travel agent/agency to plan a trip in the past and our experience with Valentine did not disappoint! Valentine did a fantastic job planning our trip - taking into account our preferences for hotels, tours, food, etc... she was easily able to pivot when we made some changes in our desired itinerary. Valentine has great attention to detail and the logistics were seamless. we had 1-2 questions while we were actually on the trip and got quick responses to our questions.
we spent 3 nights in Berlin and LOVED our private tours Caieren and Paul (one about WWII, other about Cold War). both guides were engaging and make our experience personal, we even stopped for coffee. The bunker story museum was also great. the DDR museum was a good experience. even though we had scheduled tours, we had enough downtime planned in that we were able to explore the city - we enjoyed the Disgusting Foods Musuem!
we spent 2 nights in Nuremberg - private Nazi grounds tour with guide, again, was great. we took a day trip to Rothenberg with a private guide, enjoyed the city and the tour - had a GREAT Italian meal. there is a LEGO store in the town that serves THE BEST coffee - tell Christian we sent you. again, we had some downtime, we rented Vag-Rad bikes and biked to Imperial Castle in Nuremberg
loved that our guides met us at the hotel, made it very easy.
we spent 2 nights in Munich - we did a group tour - did not love the group tour (25 people), we had been spoiled with the private tours. from Munich, we took group day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle. OMG!! you must hike to Mary's Bridge for the view of the castle - hike is steep but, short and totally doable - don't take the horses or bus straight to the castle, you will miss Mary's Bridge. the company that organized the tour was good, professional and kept things running smoothly. bus was comfortable.
cannot wait to use Valentine again! highly recommend. easy planning and great trip!
Hotel Reviews
great location, delish breakfast, loved the sauna. helpful staff
loved the layout for our 3 person family. kitchen was nice, if we had been there longer, would have used it
nice, clean hotel, a little small for a family of 3 but okay b/c we did not spend time in the room
Activity Reviews
paul was awesome, loved that he picked us up at hotel.
tour guide Cairen was THE BEST ever.
Dimitri was really good! he was not quite as engaging w my son as the other guides in berlin but, that is really minor
kevin was so knowledgeable and nice. took us to a great Italian restaurant. he is not bashful about expressing his political views, this was okay w us but, may not be okay for all travelers
a must see!
group tour was too big. 25 people!
