    Greg and Johann were an excellent team. Our tour was handled very professionally by both of them, Greg with his knowledge of Germany and their markets and Johann with his exemplary driving skills! They make a perfect team for your enjoyment. If you are seeking a well planned and executed tour along with humor and great conversation then I encourage you to join in!

All questions
  • J

    Jan

    Asked on August 27th, 2025

    What is the best way to handle air booking? I'm assuming fly into Berlin and out of Munich? Can you suggest dates and times.

    Flights / Transfers
    • Insight VacationsOperatorWritten August 2025

      Yes, the itinerary begins in Berlin and concludes in Munich, so booking flights into Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) and out of Munich Airport (MUC) is the way to go. To ensure eligibility for our complimentary airport transfers, we suggest arriving before 2:00 PM on the first day and departing after 10:00 AM on the final day.
