Nestled in the southwestern corner of Germany, Breisach is just a proverbial stone's throw from neighboring Switzerland and France along the beautiful Rhine River. Spend a day enjoying the charms of Breisach, which survived WWII well and still preserves much of its 16th-century design and atmosphere. With excellent places to hike around the city for active explorers, Breisach also offers opportunities for cycling through the Rheinau woods, visiting nearby Freiburg, or taking a walking tour of the Riesling-producing town of Riquewihr. Breisach is featured on many cruises between Basel, Switzerland, and Amsterdam and cruises frequently stop in the Rhine River port of Strasbourg, France. Contact our experts today to start planning your trip!

The info on the website was laid out very well. I did some comparisons with other tours and found Adventure Life met a lot of what I wanted in an Antarctica trip at the cheapest price. Requested a quote on Claudia contacted me right away. She answered a lot of questions the I had via email even though she offered to discuss via phone call. I’m more of an email person so appreciated how she accommodated that and answered all my questions. And when I was ready to book, she quickly got the ball rolling with getting our spots reserved on the trip my friend and I wanted. Thanks again, Claudia!

(1) great information on the website and throughout all the "materials." (2) Jane Packer is great: knowledgeable, responsive, takes a personal interest and tone, seems to care about the customer as a person not a sale.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.
