Land excursions for river cruises along the Elbe
Journey



What to expect
The cultural offerings and landscapes along the European river courses are highly versatile and partly still unexplored, however, they are definitely worth visiting. Escape the daily routine and travel on board a cruise ship through the beautiful German landscape. We are specialised in ground handling services for river cruises and look forward to organise impressive shore excursions for your group!
Among the Southern side of the Elbe River, many cities string together with their magnificent European history, as well as their unique scenery. Learn more about Hundertwasser and Martin Luther, enjoy a glass of Saxon Wine, listen to the world of music or admire the spectacular Sandstone Mountains in Saxon Switzerland with your group.
AugustusTours provides all national and international guests with numerous programmes for shore excursions. We arrange city tours and excursions, as well as bus transfers too and guided tours around many different sights of the area.
