Germany

I am writing to thank you for all your work on the recent Berlin trip which fell somewhere between successful and wildly successful. What you arranged for us there, the quality of the meals, the location of the accommodation, and the amiability of the tour director were wonderful. We will doubtless run another Berlin trip with you next spring.

With medieval castles, soaring mountains, and a legendary forest that enchants even the worldly-wise, the German countryside has all the trappings of a fairy tale.  But this nation is hardly frozen in time: animated cities and world-class culture keep life moving at modern speed.

In Berlin, daring art and audacious architecture defines a German avant-garde, while Munich delights with outstanding museums, royal residences, and Bavarian charm.  History is complicated here, and the challenges of Communism and the World Wars remind us all that “happily ever after” can be hard to find.

With etr, we explore the dynamics between past and present, tradition and innovation, ultimately discovering the newest chapter in the complex tale that is German history.
