DAY 1
DAY 1
Train to Düsseldorf
In under 6 hours, the fast ICE train whisks us to Düsseldorf (Change required). After arriving in Düsseldorf, we take the local subway to the four-star Hotel Das Carls. Located across the street from the local market, it’s also not far from the ‘World’s Longest Bar.” Here we dive into the world of Altbier and Killepitsch. Dinner is at Uerige, but we should have time to visit at least two other Altbier places.

DAY 2
DAY 2
Köln & its Kölsch (Cologne)
Just 45 minutes away is the charming city of Köln (Cologne). As we exit the train station, your next will strain as you try to take in the enormity of the massive cathedral. The 3 wisemen are buried inside the cathedral and you’ll also see hints nearby of the city’s Roman origins. We have lunch at Früh am Dom. Here you sample your first Kölsch beer! Afterwards take some free time to explore on your own or stay with Scott to tour many of the famous Kölsch places. Dinner at the Malzmühle before heading back to Düsseldorf.

DAY 3
DAY 3
Departure Day
Departure Day. Four choices for getting back to the USA

Düsseldorf: Great   connections to the USA and a simple 30-minute train ride. Buy your subway   ticket the night before

Cologne/Bonn: About   60 minutes on the train with 1 change on the way. Buy your subway ticket the night before

Frankfurt am Main: About   2 hours on the train, but pretty much a straight shot on the ICE. Buy your   ICE ticket at least 2 weeks before the trip on www.bahn.de

Munich: You could travel back to Munich with Scott & Vonia, but this will require you to stay one more night before depart Munich the next day. Just tell us you want this option and we will help you set it up.

Experience Bavaria with an Insider! With us, you'll experience the Bavarian Culture first hand. Scott is integrated into Munich life & is the first non-Bavarian inducted to the Aventinus Buam, the oldest Stammtisch at Schneider Brauhaus in Munich. With his many close Bavarian friends and Stammtisch Brothers, "der Scotti" has a network of connections and is the authority on explaining Bavarian customs to his guests. On top of that, he is a trained historian & Diplom BierSommelier. Discover why over 35% of our guests are repeat visitors!

We had some misfortunes including travel issues for some in the group and a 100 year snow storm in Munich which resulted in closed and cancelled events along with cancelled trains which were also impacted by a labor union strike. But Scott and Vonia were able to pivot and get us where we needed to be and shifted events so that we could get the most of the overall experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip. The hotels were nice and centrally located. The food as great and the beer wonderful. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and well informed.

BayernTrips runs a wonderful tour. The agenda, accomodations and details are superb. Scott and Vonia, the hosts, have an excellent knowledge of Bavaria and it's history and customs. Their choice of hotel locations allows more time touring and less time waiting or being bussed. A great experience. Have used them before and so highly recommend. Brad and Paulette.

Considering the adverse conditions related to a 20 year record snowfall and a transportation workers 24hr strike, two of our five day trips were cancelled and alternative ventures in Munich were conducted. For first time travelers to Europe, itineraries and travel information were provided well in advance, from orientation meeting with CSBrewery to arrival instructions to Q&A's. Scottie & Vonia were exceptional hosts, explaining work-around plans related to the above and providing a wealth of factual / trivial information related to various sites we visited. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, from the many Christmarket's, to the German cuisine and many different beers of the region, (Scottie knows them all). Hotel Jaderman was great, very comfortable and clean, exceptional breakfasts and it's staff extremely polite and helpful. It is also centrally located - tram stop directly in front and an easy walk from / to the München Hbf. We would travel with Bayern Trips again; next time in the spring or fall.
