Germany Tour for Couples: Enchanting Countrysides, Quaint Villages, and More

Our trip to Austria and Germany was initiated with a desire to see the Christmas markets. And yes, these were magical, but Zicasso’s travel company also included guided trips at each location to fully enjoy our trip. The private ride through Bavaria to Neuschwanstein Castle was Christmas-card picturesque. Walking through Vienna on a guided tour was as if we were visiting Franz Joseph and Sisi. The travel company created an itinerary that balanced the needs of a group with different ages, interests, and budgets, and everyone had a magnificent time.

It was a fantastic trip! We had enough to do in every location, but still enough free time to explore on our own. I do wish we had been given a bit more detail on some of the tours; we were surprised a few times. It did not negatively impact us, but it would have been nice to be more prepared.

We started our planning with Zicasso’s travel specialist, and she was fabulous to work with in creating the perfect itinerary. We then transferred to another travel specialist, who completed the work and created a bucket-list trip for us. Every detail was perfect. The drivers and guides were incredible and very flexible with our pace of traveling. We reconnected with the travel specialist during our trip through WhatsApp. She again kept us informed on schedules and contacts during our travels. The selected hotels were perfect for us. This was our third trip with a Zicasso partner and I am sure we will be back for adventure.

Zicasso’s travel specialist was outstanding! From the beginning, he listened and curated exactly the kind of experience we had hoped for. The trip was fantastic. The hotels were perfect and everything went smoothly.

The guides for the Salzburg food tour and Vienna walking tour were particularly outstanding, as well as our driver-guide in Munich. The travel specialist created a custom itinerary that not only met our expectations, but exceeded them, with VIP experiences that made this mother-daughter trip truly special.

Things went according to plan and schedule, with the exception of one hotel being changed late in the game, but all accommodations were great and we had a really nice trip. Zicasso’s tour operator helped us book a few tours for others who were not part of our overall trip, but who we were meeting in Germany, and that was extremely helpful.

Zicasso's travel specialist crafted an unforgettable journey through Germany for us in September 2025. He truly listened to our interests and designed a phenomenal itinerary that showcased the very best the country has to offer—from small, charming medieval villages and breathtaking Rhine wine country to magnificent castles, dynamic modern cities, and the majestic Bavarian Alps. We also appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of sites tied to WWII and Cold War history, providing a meaningful and reflective perspective on Germany’s past.

Members of our group have personal family connections to Nazi forced labor and concentration camps, as well as life behind the Iron Curtain in post-war East Germany. Our incredible guides handled these sensitive topics with knowledge and compassion, helping us dive deeper and even find answers to lingering questions.

Every guide we met along the way was exceptional—knowledgeable, personable, and fluent in English—which brought each experience to life and deepened our appreciation for the places we visited. The trip was full and fast-paced, yet perfectly balanced for what we were looking for.

The variety of experiences—from somber memorials to the grand pageantry of palaces and the pure joy of Oktoberfest—made the trip incredibly rich and memorable. Throughout it all, our travel specialist kept close communication and ensured everything ran smoothly, giving us complete peace of mind.

We could not be more thrilled with our experience and highly recommend our travel specialist and this agency to anyone looking for a perfectly curated, seamless, and extraordinary adventure!
