Rhine: Duration from 2 hours – longer tours and even a visit to Rheinstein Castle are possible on request.
The tour starts at the jetty in Bingen-Kempten, right at the entrance to the “Upper Middle Rhine Valley” World Heritage Site – famous for having the highest density of castles in the world. If you like, we can also arrange a shuttle to and from our home port for a fee.
And the best part?
You can take the helm yourself – without a driving licence!
While you're at the helm, an experienced instructor from Rheintastisch will accompany you. They will ensure safety on board and provide you with exciting information, anecdotes, and insider tips about the Rhine, the Lorelei, and our region steeped in tradition.
The tour takes you through one of the most impressive river landscapes in Europe – past vineyards, Assmannshausen, Bacharach, old customs forts, and of course the famous Lorelei (on the 3-hour tour). There, where the Rhine dramatically winds through narrow cliffs, we take a short break in the Loreley harbour. There will be soft drinks, Spundekäs with pretzels, and a Rohesser to keep you going.
Afterwards, we head back to the home port, where you can continue to enjoy your holiday in a good mood and with lots of new Rheintastisch impressions.
Optional highlight:
On the way back, you will dock below the romantic Rheinstein Castle. From there, you'll hike up in a few minutes – including magnificent views. Once at the top, a glass of local wine awaits you, and you can explore the castle at your own pace. A written castle guide will accompany you through the historic walls – from the chapel to the observation deck.
Finally, a comfortable taxi transfer will take you back to the hotel – with plenty of Rhine vibes in your luggage and an experience that you are guaranteed not to forget any time soon.
