Cultural travels

“If someone goes on a journey, he wants to experience something”

150 years of industrial history turned the Ruhr area into a multi-faceted and vast urban agglomeration. It is difficult to differentiate between important and unimportant matters. Our excursions establish interrelations and allow the traveller to understand the region. We guide you on a private and exclusive expedition to extraordinary spots throughout the Ruhr area, according to your individual interests. We let you experience the special charm and the lively and authentic local colour - we give the myth a helping hand. We promise you unforgettable impressions and make you participate in our enthusiasm for the area.

Four-day Ruhr area tour for 10 persons in 2011

The group arrived Thursday evening. After check-in at the hotel, they had dinner in a typical Ruhr area restaurant. The program on Friday started with a visit of the coking plant Prosper in Bottrop. Afterwards the journey continued to Gelsenkirchen where the group had lunch in the “Nordsternpark”. In the afternoon they visited the coal mine Zollverein. After a break at the hotel the group went by tramway to the restaurant Casino Zollverein for dinner. Saturday morning the group experienced a guided tour through the gasometer in Oberhausen. Saturday’s highlight was to watch a bundesliga game at the arena “Auf Schalke” in Gelsenkirchen. The day finished up with dinner in a restaurant in Essen-Rüttenscheid.
The journey ended on Sunday morning with a visit and a guided tour of Villa Hügel in Essen.
