Fellow Traveler,I’m David ValentineIt is my pleasure to introduce to you this years first tour of Germany. Travel has always been my passion, even as a child. Having grown up in Germany and travel-ing through most of Europe before ado-lescence, I have a close intimate relation-ship with my home country and Europe. Legwork Travel Agency started as an idea; a way to show people the world on their terms and at a low price. This booklet is designed specifically to show you the experiences, the delights and charms that Germany has to offer. Please, read through this booklet and let it inspire you as it has myself and when you’re ready, pick up the phone and call me to join the group. Make 2011 the year you begin you’re new journey through Germany, the Legwork Travel way - affordable and fun-

I hope you can join us!

Why Legwork Travel Tours are the Best :For 25 years I have traveled this earth, stopping at exotic, familiar and beautiful destinations along the way. I retained knowledge, history, art and a love for each and every locale. With the home-court ad-vantage in my favor for Germany, it seems only fitting to guide the tour myself.

I design the every tour that Legwork Travel Agency offers.

I have brought my friends and fam-ily along--and truly enjoy each individual experience. My tour experience ties you in with the history, culture and local environment of each destination. I avoid all tourist traps and help each traveler get the most out of their experiences. I speak the language and grew up in Germany. I have excel-lent knowledge of Germany’s cus-toms, culture and history.

The Best Value AroundA great tour begins with great value. Legwork Travel Agency is unique in its ability to cut

out the middle man when it comes to tour groups and the excess costs they can rack up. As the owner of Legwork Travel Agency and it’s primary Eu-ropean Tour Guide, I charge abso-lutely no fees for the tour service. All you pay for is the package price which includes airfare, hotel, admissions and ground transportation.

2 Legwork Travel Tours are about the experience and the connection the traveler can

have with their chosen destination. I offer small energetic groups that bring each experience to life in a unique way. Large groups can allow for traveler to get lost in the crowd, miss important historical informa-tion and can ultimately lead to a poor tour experience. Europe is for walkers and Legwork Travel Groups will defi-nitely be on foot. Europeans are a

social and active people, lazing about just won’t cut it. You have

to dig in to really experience the wonders of Europe.

Great HotelsYears of traveling and thorough knowledge of

each destination allows Leg-work Travel Tours to offer great accommodations at affordable rates. The hotel experience is a very important component to a great travel experience. Hotels on Legwork Travel Tours are handpicked, personal visited and top rated. One must remeber that European hotels are at times very disimilar to the comforts of an American chain hotel. For further information on what to expect, visit www.legworktravel.com for our com-prhensive hotel guide.

4 Legwork Travel Tour itiner-aries are jam-packed witht

things to do and sights to see, so that you get the opportunity to soak in every experience while traveling. Legwork Travel Tours are about the experience and the memories brough on by those experiences, so we aim to make the most of them. Every Itinerary includes the best sights and excursions available. They alsi include plenty of free time for you to experience locations at your own pace. Be sure to view this tour’s itinerary on the following page.

What exactly is a Legwork Travel Tour like?

This is a question that is very often received. All Legwork Tours are active with a good deal of walking involved. While public transit is used for getting across town, going by foot is often the primary mode of travel. As you read through the itinerary included in this booklet, take note of the symbols accom-panying each day. They will help you gauge how strenuous and how demanding each activity can be. Some days can be rather light with museums and closely located activities, while other days may include hiking to see an out of the way castle.

Let’s Stretch Those Legs, Shall We?To really dig deep into Europe, you need a good pair of walking shoes.

reparation is a necessity. Going in blind is never a good idea when it comes

to travel. Surprises can be great while on vacation, but at times also disasterous. While Legwork Travel Tour Guides do have a few surprises up their sleeves, you can rest assured that before you set foot on European soil, you’ll be prepared. We want you to be happy with you choice of tour. So give careful thought to the fact that Legwork Travel Tours do involve a certain level of

physical activity. You’ll need to be capable and fully willing to happily participate in the fol-lowing levels of activity:

* Comfortably being on your feet for up to four hours walking and standing, both inside museums and outdoors in all weather conditions such as hot sun and rain. * Sleeping with no (or weak) air conditioning and street

noise in some hotels. You may also share a bethroom with other tour guests.

* After orientation and transportation lessons, being able to navigate towns and cities on your own.

* Carrying or rolling your own luggage over uneven pavement from trains and other vehicles to your hotel (possibly several blocks) and hauling it up several flights of stairs to reach your room.

2-4 Miles of level walking

2-6 Miles up & down hills or stairs

2-8 Miles, lots of stairs, hilly terrain
