Important info
How we plan your tour:
First, your complete satisfaction is our ultimate goal when we plan
your tour. We take into consideration that you want to enjoy the benefits
of being with a group, but that you also want to spend as much time
as possible doing things on your own.
We provide the itinerary and book the various campgrounds; you drive
between these points at your own pace. We take you on guided excursions
so that you see and enjoy those sights you will want to visit; you will
have plenty of time for your own explorations. We always have our Tour
Leader couple available to you for any help or assistance you may require
and you can be just as independent as you choose.
Your itineraries:
Our many years of experience have taught us the best roads to take,
the best campgrounds to stay at, the best and most informative guided
excursions to offer and the most enjoyable dining out experiences, to
give you the best European RV vacation possible.
Driving as a group:
Actually, we would prefer it if you did not, that is, "drive as
a group"! Part of the joy of driving an RV in Europe is that you
are not part of a multi-vehicle convoy. Also, it is not very safe, especially
on back roads or driving through small villages and it's not fair to
other drivers on the road. We encourage you to drive on your own or
with one or two other couples Directions in your detailed Tour Book
are very easy to follow. No fear of getting lost! Those who would prefer
driving together can join one of our mini-convoys of six or less vehicles.
Your flight from the USA to Europe:
We will be happy to assist you with booking your flights and at the
best possible fares, just call us. Should you prefer to make you own
flight bookings, that's fine. However, if you do make your own air arrangements,
you are responsible for your own transfers to and from your hotel, both
at the start of and at the end of your tour.
Your European RV:
Your late model RV, included in the tour price, is a diesel motorhome,
which is both easy to drive and easy to park. It is 18 feet long and
sleeps four people. Larger models are available at an additional cost.
All RV's are equipped with bedding, towels, kitchen utensils and a radio.
There is also a hot water shower, toilet, stove, refrigerator and heating.
Your RV is fully insured with a US$750 per occurrence deductible.
Your RV rental is based on unlimited mileage! No addition charge for
your side trips!

Your RV provisions:
You will, of course, need to stock up on groceries for your tour. You
will have plenty of opportunity to shop at the beginning and throughout
your tour. After you pick up your RV on arrival in Germany your Tour
Leader Couple will take you shopping. You may want to make up your grocery
list before you arrive. Each campground has shopping facilities and
you will want to visit shops and stores for local specialties and basics
during the tour.
Your RV Campgrounds:
We chose your campsites based on location and facilities. All reservations
are made in advance and all fees, including electrical hookups are included.
All sites have hot showers and toilets available, as well as dining
and shopping facilities.
Your Tour Book, Route Map & Tourist Information:
You will receive this information package before you leave home. Plenty
of time to familiarize yourself with your itinerary and places you will
be visiting. The package is full of useful information and will answer
most of your questions. You will have a briefing after arriving in Europe
for any additional questions you may have and any additional information
you may require.
Your Tour Leader Couple - "Wagonmasters":
Your tour is fully escorted in Europe by our Wagonmasters, who are
fully experienced and available to you at all times. No time off for
them! They not only know the cities, towns and countries you will visit,
but they also know the local language.
Your Excursions & Guides:
Both local professional guides and your Tour Leader couple will lead
your program of excursions throughout your tour. We use motorcoaches,
which avoids driving your RV in busy tourist areas. You will be picked
up and dropped off at the campground.
Your Time Alone:
Your itinerary has been planned to give you plenty of time for exploring
on you own, shopping or just taking it easy.
Your Admission Fees:
There are none! All admission fees for the excursions and sightseeing
detailed in the itinerary and are included in you tour price.
Your Fuel Costs:
Your standard diesel RV gets about 23 miles per gallon. Your itinerary
lists how may miles you will travel on each Drive Day, so it is easy
to calculate an approximate fuel cost for you particular tour. However,
the miles shown in the itinerary do not include any side trips you may
make on your own.
