Growing up in Germany as a child and attending college in Munich was an amazing experience.  I have since moved to the United States but make sure to visit Germany as often as possible. If you love magic and fairyland settings, you will enjoy visiting Germany. Indeed, its history is a treat to review and traveling to the country makes it even more interesting. That is why I love, as a travel agent expert for Germany, to share what I know about this country.For example, did you know that Schloss Neuschwanstein was the inspiration for the Disneyland castle? One of Bavaria’s celebrated kings, King Ludwig II commissioned the building of the fortress. Rising from the German forest like a story-book picture, the castle reveals the king’s obsession with the country’s mythical past. Therefore, I cannot plan a trip to Germany without adding this fascinating palazzo to the list.Another place you have to visit is the Black Forest. Do you hear that? The birdsong and soft breezes reinvigorate the traveler in this wonderful German outdoor escape. Whether you visit this southwestern retreat on a snowy, sunny, or misty day, you will love and remember the journey. Breathe in the cold air on a brisk autumn day as you drive the winding roads of the forest or visit those in-the-middle of nowhere lakes. Have some German cake, then walk off the calories on one of the forest’s lush and shaded trails.A more somber attraction, the Berlin Wall, gives us pause to contemplate the events surrounding this symbolic and historic barrier set up after the Second World War. The dismantling of the Berlin Wall in 1989 was just as significant. Euphoric crowds, at the time, danced and cheered at the Brandenburg Gate. While only a small part of the barricade remains, its legacy still lives on, reminding us of places, such as Checkpoint Charlie, also known as Checkpoint C. “C” was the best known crossing point between West and East Berlin.I know, as your travel agent specialist for Germany, you will love indulging in Germany’s soul-stirring landscape and attractions, its spirit-lifting culture, and welcoming palaces. Germany is a place where you can see medieval villages, have fun driving the autobahn, or enjoy a pleasant interlude in the Alps.Some of Germany’s streets were well established before Columbus sailed and many of the country’s half-timbered hamlets go far back in history, For example, in cities, such as Cologne and Trier, you can find remnants of the ancient Roman civilization. Berlin, which is more forward-thinking, is as flavorful as it is historic. Modern buildings rub shoulders with historic buildings made in the Gothic and Romanesque styles. Also, you will find more to German food than pretzels, sausages, schnitzel, and roast pig, all served with foaming mugs of beer. You will also find a trove of seasonal and regional cuisine at the country’s celebrations. If you love wine, be sure to check out the German world-class wines, especially the Riesling. Traditionally, sauerbraten is eaten during the winter time. Wine or vinegar and other herbs and spices are added to the marinade about three to ten days before cooking. In the Rhineland, raisins and beetroot syrup are included in the tangy and unforgettable sauce.As your travel agent professional for Germany, I want you to experience everything that is unique to the country. Won’t you contact me now for more information? I look forward to meeting with you to plan your German travel itinerary.

Wonderful experience
Reviewed By Susan Z - Seattle WA | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
John was very professional and always available. He gave me great information and was open and honest. He didn't try to sell me anything but gave me great advice. I really enjoyed working with John and we spoke recently and he is helping me plan our next trip. I found John on a google search for travel agents and he was rated 5 stars. I have passed John's name and contact information to a lot of my friends. I can't say enough about how professional and friendly he is. Thanks for everything!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Germany trip and Bayern Munich game
Reviewed By Daniel - San Francisco CA | Traveled to Germany ~ Europe
The travel services John provided for our 12 day trip from California to Germany were exceptional.



The purpose of the trip was to visit Germany for the first time and take my son to his first professional German soccer game in Munich to see Bayern Munich.



John arranged outstanding tickets for the soccer game, excellent hotel accommodations, transportation, and day trips to tour the sites we wanted to see. Service was impeccable.



Many thanks!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Thank you so much!
Reviewed By Brenda M - Fresno CA | Traveled to Cabo San Lucas ~ Baja California Sur ~ Mexico
John was amazing and so helpful. All we knew is we wanted to go somewhere on a beach that would be all inclusive. John was very patient and was a great listener and he sent us several options in different countries that we could choose from for our trip. Once we made our decision on our destination, John set everything up for us from start to finish. We cannot thank him enough for making our trip one of the most memorable vacations we have ever had.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

John did a great job at organizing our vacation during a time we were nervous about traveling to Ireland. He is a total pleasure to work with, always being professional, courteous and friendly. Was constantly a step ahead with everything we needed, and with those things we didn't know we needed.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
