Planning bespoke holidays to Germany – Loved by our travellers

I've used Travel Without Borders (TWB) to plan and organise three family holidays to Germany. Over consecutive summers, we explored Bavaria, the Black Forest and the Mosel Valley. I cannot recommend them highly enough. TWB is an expert travel planning company specialising in tailor-made itineraries exclusively for Germany. Initially, I attempted to organise our first trip myself, but being really busy at work, I struggled to find the time. When I discovered TWB, they took care of all the logistics, making the entire process seamless. Each time, I provided them with a rough outline of our preferences, and they crafted detailed itineraries — including recommended transport connections, carefully selected hotels, and expert advice on excursions, sightseeing and dining. One of the standout aspects of working with TWB was the ease of communication. After sharing my initial request, they put together a draft itinerary, which we refined over a few phone calls, then followed up with email updates as we finalised the details. By the second and third trips this became even smoother, as TWB had developed a deep understanding of my family's preferences. Some friends questioned why I used a travel planning company in the digital age — but that misses the point. If I were planning a simple two-night stay in Berlin, I could book it myself. However, TWB curated personalised two- to three-week itineraries that showcased the authentic Germany — experiences I wouldn't have discovered on my own: a guided walking tour with an English-speaking guide in the Black Forest, an Amphicar ride on the Mosel River, even a sushi dinner at the top of the Rhein Tower in Düsseldorf. They operate on a clear, agreed fee structure, a level of transparency that far exceeds traditional agents where costs are often hidden. In summary, TWB helped us create three unforgettable summer holidays in Germany, experiencing the country in a way we never could have on our own — truly trips of a lifetime. As an added bonus, they even helped my teenage son get a "9" grade in GCSE German!

Travel without Borders offered our family group an invaluable service by helping design and plan a tailor-made trip that made the most of the time we had together in Germany exploring our roots. This was a large group with a big mix of ages and requirements, but experienced staff guided us through the process step-by-step, and the result was a truly memorable trip that everyone enjoyed. It is no exaggeration to say the experience would not have been the same without the care and attention that went into creating a personalised itinerary suited to our own quite specific needs. If you're not familiar with Germany, having local expertise at the end of a phone line takes the stress and uncertainty out of planning, and makes the difference between an average holiday and something truly special. Thank you once again on behalf of the Schott Family!
