To shake the jet lag prior to the start of the tour, you might wish to reserve a pre-tour stay at a Frankfurt Airport area hotel. Image Tours will use the NH-Rhein Main hotel or similar which provides a complimentary airport shuttle to and from the airport terminals. Relax, sleep, and then return to the airport on the tour arrival day to meet your tour manager and transfer to the first tour hotel.

Take this opportunity to spend an extra day or two on your own in the Rhine River Valley after your tour ends. For your extension, Image Tours will arrange a stay at the Frankfurt Airport area hotel with complimentary airport shuttle service.

• Extensions must be booked when making reservations for your escorted tour.
• Extensions are independent and unescorted, and all transfers are at your own expense unless specifically listed as an inclusion in the extension description.
• Every effort will be made to reserve pre- and post-tour nights at our preferred extension hotels listed on these pages. Alternative accommodations may be made if space is not available. When this happens, any transfer required between hotels will be at your own expense.
• If you have purchased the land & air-inclusive tour, Image Tours will adjust your flights to depart early or return later as required for your extension, subject to availability of our contracted air space.
• Extensions are subject to availability. If Image Tours is unable to secure hotel or air space without additional cost, you will have the option, within three days of notification, to authorize a price increase, cancel the extension without penalty, or cancel the entire tour with full refund.
• Check-in and check-out times vary for each hotel and are subject to change. The most common times are 2:00 p.m. check-in and 11:00 a.m. for check-out. If your flight arrives in the morning before a pre-tour extension or if you are transferring hotels, please note that your room may not be available until after 2:00 p.m.
• For extension prices, refer to the "Dates & Prices Guide" inserted in your brochure, our online Availability & Pricing section, or ask your Travel Agent.
