The 10 Best Bus Tours in Hesse, Germany

March 3, 2022 Jacquiline Darosa

Hesse (/ˈhɛsə/) or Hessia (German: Hessen [ˈhɛsn̩], Hessian dialect: Hesse [ˈhɛzə]) is a federal state (Land) of the Federal Republic of Germany, with just over six million inhabitants. The state capital is Wiesbaden; the largest city is Frankfurt am Main. Until the unification of Germany, the territory of Hesse was occupied by the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, the free city of Frankfurt and the Electorate of Hesse, known also as Hesse-Cassel. Due to divisions after World War II, the modern federal state does not cover the entire cultural region of Hesse, which includes both the State of Hesse and the area known as Rhenish Hesse (Rheinhessen) in the neighbouring state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

More than 40 castles, world class wines and breathtaking landscapes- the UNESCO world heritage site Rhine valley is deemed to be Germany’s most romantic region and often called the most German of all sceneries. There is no doubt- the Rhine Valley is incredibly beautiful and should not be missed on any trip through Germany.

Meanwhile I will provide you with profound information about the area, its history, culture and landscape- in a very entertaining way. If you're interested in wine, we can always include one or two wine tastings at prestigious wineries. Foodwise everything is possible- from a late breakfast at a typical German bakery by a gourmet lunch at magnificent wine castle to traditional German coffee and cake at a wonderful café above the vineyards. The tour can always be customized according to your interests, wishes and special needs.

Inclusions: Wine tasting at a winery, Transportation in a comfortable van, Profound explanations about the landscape, the history and the wine-growing of the Rhine Valley, Bottled water, Regional snacks

We had an incredible couple of days with Florian! We travelled from Canada ???????? and had never been to Germany. He made our experience stress-free and so fun!! He picked us up at the airport, took us for an authentic German supper at a local restaurant in Frankfurt and then we did an evening guided tour of the city. The next two days were full of the Rhein Valley and Mosel Valley. Small quaint villages, wine, food and history! Florian is intelligent, funny and kind. We couldn’t have asked for more. His English is impeccable and in fact he speaks several languages fluently. We saw more in the few days we had with him than we could have ever imagined! 5 Stars all the way ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You will never regret your choice to book with Florian! We can’t wait to visit Germany again one day!

The name of my boutique-style chauffeur and limousine service is "a friend in heidelberg". Many guests of mine told me that this very name is the perfect choice. The stops mentioned under "Itinerary" are possible destinations of our tour. I am more than happy to compose an individual tour, which is based entirely on your preferences and wishes. I was not only born in the famous historical city of Heidelberg and know the area extremely well, but also lived and worked in the US and hence speak fluent English. If you wish I can help you with the organization of your trip ahead of time. You will be chauffeured in a Mercedes S-Class, virtually a private jet for the road, equipped with all state-of-the-art features.

Inclusions: WiFi on board, Private transportation, Air-conditioned vehicle, Parking Fees, Soda/Pop, Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea

Exclusions: Travel exceeding the mileage allotment of 20 kilometers per hour will be charged with 1.00 € per kilometer.

If you want to visit the homeland of your ancestors, Manfred Pitz is the man for the job! We were in Germany in April 2019 while on a Viking river cruise. While others in our group visited Heidelberg, my husband and I hired Manfred to take us to the Palatinate to see the town where my great-great grandparents lived before moving to the US. Manfred was able to locate the minister of the church were my ancestors were married, and we were able to tour the church, which normally is locked on weekdays. He contacted distant relatives who operate a restaurant that carries my family name, and arranged for a private lunch for us. My distant relatives do not speak or read English, and Manfred served as translator throughout our visit. (Manfred has lived and worked in the United States, and his English skills are excellent.) Thanks to Manfred, our visit was the most memorable part of our vacation. The name of his company, "A Friend in Heidelberg" says it all. He is more than a chauffeur. He is more than a tour guide. He is the consummate professional and a dear and true friend.

The German Autobahn is special for a number of reasons. The most famous one is the absence of a general speed limit. There are foreign visitors who dare to drive on the German Autobahn themselves, while others prefer to be driven. The name of my boutique-style chauffeur and limousine service is "a friend in heidelberg". Many guests of mine told me that this very name is the perfect choice. With me as your chauffeur, you will enjoy this trip on the German Autobahn with all comfort and in absolute style. Since I lived and worked in the US, I speak fluent English. I got my driver's license back in 1980 and have never had a single accident on the Autobahn. Therefore, you can be sure that it will be an absolutely safe ride. Your car will be a Mercedes S-Class, virtually a private jet for the road, equipped with all state-of-the-art features.

Inclusions: WiFi on board, Private transportation, Air-conditioned vehicle, Parking Fees, Soda/Pop, Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea, Speeding tickets bill ;-)

Exclusions: Travel exceeding the mileage allotment of 100 kilometers per hour will be charged with 1.00 € per kilometer.

I booked this tour and received Confirmation. A few hours later my tour was Cancelled. No reason was provided. By the time I received notice of the Cancelation, there was no time to book something else to fill the hole in my schedule this created. If they had a problem and could not provide th tour, why accept and confirm my reservation, and then cancel later the same day? Very unprofessional.

Thanks to the Internet genealogical research has become way easier. Nowadays you have an unparalleled opportunity to trace your roots to a certain town and to explore where your ancestors originated. You might even get lucky and meet some distant relatives. If your ancestors are from Germany, I am here to help you explore the places and points of interest related to your ancestors. Actually, a lot of Germans who emigrated came from the region I serve as a driver guide or better your "concierge on wheels". I am located in the renowned historic city of Heidelberg and my primarily geographical area of operations stretches from Frankfurt in the north, Stuttgart and Strasbourg in the south, Saarbrucken and Kaiserslautern, known as "K-town" by US army personnel, in the west and Würzburg and Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the east. The name of my boutique-style chauffeur and limousine service is "a friend in heidelberg". Many guests of mine told me that this very name is the perfect choice. I was not only born in the famous historical city of Heidelberg and know the area extremely well, but also lived and worked in the US and hence speak fluent English. If you wish I can help you with the organization of your trip ahead of time. In contrast to the famous movie "Back to the Future", I cannot serve with a DeLorean with a built-in time machine, but offer a fully equipped first-class Mercedes S-Class limousine for travels back to one’s past.

Inclusions: WiFi on board, Private transportation, Air-conditioned vehicle, Parking Fees, Soda/Pop, Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea

Spätburgunder or Gewurztraminer doesn't roll easily off the tongue, but both these German wines do flow very well down your throat. Join us on a grape escape to try the best Geman wines in the Mosel, Pfalz, Rheingau & Rheinhessen. When it comes to the world of wine Germany has been in the wine game since the Romans and offers some of the world's most elegant and aromatic wine varieties, most notably for the noble Riesling. But getting your hands on a bottle outside of Germany can be hard to find. The regions best-kept wine secrets are rarely exported as locals love every last drop. This is why Weinköpfe exists. We believe wine was made for sharing. Our German wine tours aim to share with you the best quality wines, most beautiful views, historical sights and culinary delights the regions of Germany have to offer.

Inclusions: Private transportation, visit, cellar tours and tasting fees at 3 wineries , Local cheese platter, Ferry ticket , Bottled water

Exclusions: Lunch, Wine is more fun shared...but if you prefer something more personal a private tour can be requested

Carl was very knowledgeable and gave us loads of insights. We visited 3 different wineries that all had something unique to offer. Carl tailored the tour to what we wanted but also inspired us to try alot of different blends that were amazing. We tasted a total of 52 different wines!! Snacks and even more wine was provided in between the stops. We had great day and would definitely call him again when we go back to the area for some more amazing German wines!

We enjoyed this tour very much as it took us to all the unique little neighbourhoods we would never have found on our own. If we had been staying longer we would have been able to revisit some of these. Oliver was a great guide who gave us an overview of the city as we rode along, and even bought us our first apple wine to try. The bikes are practically brand new and very comfortable. Worth doing.
