The experience

Seven to eight hours covers the drive from Frankfurt to Berlin with time built in for a 2-hour sightseeing stop. Your driver picks you up at your hotel, airport or preferred location in Frankfurt and handles all the driving while you settle into a clean, air-conditioned vehicle stocked with bottled water. The route itself passes through the heart of Germany, and your driver (English-speaking and familiar with the region) can share insights into local culture and point out sights worth knowing about, even if you don't stop formally.

The sightseeing stop is yours to choose. Leipzig offers the Market Square, St. Thomas Church and Leipzig University. Potsdam centers on Sanssouci Palace and its parks, plus the Dutch Quarter. Fulda has the baroque cathedral, palace gardens and Old Town. Wartburg Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage fortress with medieval architecture and views across the landscape. You spend two hours at whichever one appeals to you, then continue to Berlin. Entrance fees are not included and must be purchased on arrival or online beforehand. A lunch break is possible during the journey if you want one.

Vehicle size depends on your group. A sedan fits up to three passengers with three suitcases each. A family MPV takes four with four suitcases. A large van holds five to seven with seven suitcases. For eight to ten travelers, the operator can arrange a van plus sedan, or two large vans for groups up to fourteen. All fees and taxes are included in the price. You pay only for any attraction entry and meals you choose.
