What to expect

You'll start this trip by taking a stroll through the heart of Koblenz to reach the cable car station. After you've hopped into one of the gondolas, you'll rise above the Rhine river towards the hilltop Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. Look behind you, and you'll see the rooftops of Koblenz from a bird's eye angle. Once you arrive at the fortress, you'll be taken on a guided tour of the museum, grounds and ramparts. It's been around since the 9th century BC, but was rebuilt in its current form in the early 1800s. It went on to be used as a military HQ in both world wars, but acts as a tourist attraction and open-air concert venue these days. After you've finished your tour, you'll take the cable car back to ground level.

    Informative guide. Downside = we got to the cable car an hour before it opened making it difficult for the guide to fill time.

    My wife and I totally enjoyed the guide urgane. Not sure on spelling of his name. But was so interesting in what he was saying as we did the tour.

    This was a great excursion - the guide who led us was excellent, friendly & had a very good knowledge on the subject. Overall the excursion was good value for money & we learnt a lot from it. The only thing that could have improved it was the weather (very wet on the day we visited).

    The guide, Herman (?) was fantastic. Both knowledgable and passionate about Koblenz. If we return we would book this tour again without question.

    I think more honesty about how much walking during these tours. I did not choose any walking tours specifically because my husbands mobility after chemo has been affected.
