The Bavarian village of Rothenburg, Germany is one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval towns.  With its narrow cobblestone streets, timbered buildings, and covered wall surrounding the village, you feel as if you’ve walked right into a fairy tale.  Browse inside a Christmas shoppe, climb to the top of the Rathaus bell tower for a bird’s-eye view of the town, or sip apple cider from a vendor in the spacious town square.  There are several interesting museums also, including a Doll and Toy museum and a Medieval Crime museum.  For a snack break, stop inside a bakery for some German strudel!  Rothenburg is included on Image Tours’ HEART OF EUROPE tours and the GERMANY, SWITZERLAND, AUSTRIA tour.

At Image Tours we highly recommend using a travel agent when planning an international trip. The following is an article that clearly explains the "Six Reasons Travel Agents are Back". As far as we are concerned they never "left".  Travel Agents have always helped to match up the type of clients that most appreciate all the benefits that go along with Escorted Europe Tours.  Travel agents have always and continue to add value and inform clients of all the possibilities of traveling abroad so they are a more informed consumer before leaving the country on their trip.  We strongly encourage you to use our Travel Agent Locator which will allow you to find an agent near you that has gone through informational training about our tours.   Those agents in the Travel Agent Locator understand our tours more than any other agents you may call.   Please do not hesitate to Request a Europe Brochure before continuing on to the article, and by doing so we will connect you with a travel agent that has our Europe Brochures in stock and ready to send out locally so you receive the brochure faster.   [Read More]

Image Tours has independent working relationships with each vendor in the United Kingdom, and those long established relationships will carry on just as they have in the past.  As Britain works through the logistics of exiting the European Union over the next two years, the short term effect for American visitors will be the ability to purchase more souvenirs with a  lower British Pound as compared to the United States Dollar.  We are not able to predict where the exchange rate may end up in the medium and long term, but the rate is likely to be better for our travelers planning trips for this fall of 2016.  Rest assured we are keeping our finger on the pulse of the European Union and we will take the proper measures that will keep our tours running as smoothly as they have in the past, while maintaining an excellent value.

The key to a good flight, in my experience, is to bring these . . .  snacks for the plane . . .
