Rhineland
The Rhineland is a fantastic region for school music groups thanks to its musical traditions and welcoming atmosphere. With a wide range of venues from churches and town halls to modern cultural centres and open-air stages, you can combine performances with a cultural enrichment.
Excursion highlights include the famous Gothic Cologne Cathedral, Beethoven’s House in Bonn and enjoying the panoramic views from the Koblenz Cable Car. To reward your students at the end of the tour, why not consider including a visit to Phantasialand, with six fascinating themed worlds to explore.
Feedback
“Everything was so well organised from Visions and the staff are very responsive - we will definitely use you again! Thank you for little touches such as the meal vouchers on the ferry; they were brilliant and very well received - other companies we used before never provided these! Thank you for being flexible and booking extra things for me after the initial booking phase.”
