"There were so many highlights that were bucket list moments for us. I would single out the opera performance at Palais Liechtenstein, and the cathedrals in both Cologne and Strasbourg. Cologne was our first major stop and blew us away. Dinner at the on board Portobellos was fantastic. The whole trip has been a dream for us."
