Germany: Unveiling Luxury's Hidden Charms

Half timbered houses and cobblestones

Hey there! I'm Maureen, your go-to Germany luxury travel specialist. With a passion for curating unforgettable experiences and a deep love for my travel, I'm here to help you explore the very best of Germany's rich history, stunning landscapes, and unmatched luxury.


As an expert in luxury travel, I've spent years immersing myself in the vibrant culture and hidden gems that Germany has to offer. From the cosmopolitan cityscapes to the enchanting countryside, I've handpicked the must-see destinations that will leave you breathless.


One of my top recommendations is to experience the opulence and grandeur of Bavaria's Neuschwanstein Castle. Nestled amidst the picturesque Alps, this fairy tale-like castle is a true architectural marvel and will transport you to a world of fantasy. Marvel at its majestic towers, intricate detailing, and breathtaking views, as you uncover the secrets of Ludwig II, the Bavarian king who commissioned its construction.


No trip to Germany is complete without a visit to Berlin, a city that seamlessly blends history and modernity. Explore the remnants of the Berlin Wall, a poignant symbol of Germany's divided past, and stand in awe at the Brandenburg Gate, an iconic landmark that has witnessed the nation's triumphs and challenges. Immerse yourself in Berlin's vibrant art scene, indulge in its world-class cuisine, and revel in its vibrant nightlife.


For nature enthusiasts, the enchanting Black Forest is an absolute must-see. Immerse yourself in the lush greenery, charming villages, and cascading waterfalls. Take a leisurely hike through the forest, visit the cuckoo clock workshops, and indulge in the region's delectable Black Forest cake.


Finally, no luxury journey through Germany would be complete without a visit to the iconic Rhine Valley. Cruise along the majestic Rhine River, lined with enchanting vineyards, medieval castles, and charming villages. Marvel at the Lorelei Rock, soak in the breathtaking scenery, and savor exquisite wines from the region.


Whether you're seeking cultural immersion, natural wonders, or indulgent experiences, I'm here to design a tailor-made itinerary that suits your preferences.  Give me a call today to get started!

My Travel Stories

Bavaria was a delight

In April, my wanderlust led me to the enchanting landscapes of Bavaria, the picturesque southern jewel of Germany. The air was crisp with the promise of adventure as I ventured into a region renowned for its timbered houses, copious consumption of pork, artisanal chocolates, and a surplus of frothy,...Read more.

Saved my Ireland Trip!
Maureen at AMT really helped me plan my trip to Ireland for myself, husband and in Laws. I was crazy enough to insist that I would rather drive in Ireland than pay the high cost of a private chauffer. And when my father in law dropped the bomb that his drivers license expired, making him unable to drive the manual transmission van only 3 hours before we landed in Ireland, a quick email to Maureen saved the day. She canceled our van and rebooked two automatic cars (which is apparently rare in Ireland) so that my brother in law could drive one and I the other. By the time we landed at the airport, the cars were there, correctly booked, and the money for the van had already been refunded to my credit card. WOW. Then when the London air traffic control CANCELED our flights home for a full day, she helped us book a hotel for the night, and helped us file an insurance claim to cover the cost. Even for the most experienced traveler, she is an invaluable resource.

Dear Georgia, thank you for the kind words. Since that fateful trip you have used my services for travel planning instead of travel rescuing. We make a great team and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Leave your worries at home!
My wife and I have been working with Maureen now since 2015 when we started planning our first European vacation. After dealing with the frustration of trying to book it ourselves, we happened across an American Express travel website. The site was open to non-card members so we elected the country we wanted to visit and were given four agents to reach out to. We decided on Maureen and have never looked back. Maureen made the experience very easy for us since, at the time, we were both working full time. We were sent a short questionnaire which helped her to focus on what worked best for our time, destinations, budget, etc. Our trip was to travel the Northern coast of Spain in a car over a two week period. Maureen and her team handled all the details seamlessly, from the car, to the hotels, to the sites she recommended in each of the five cities we touched. We still talk about that trip! We recommend her to our friends and family constantly.

My New Favorite Place!
Maureen worked with our group of six to arrange THE BEST experience! She was able to accommodate all our collective needs while ensuring each individual was listened to. We explored the glorious Scottish Highlands from our home base in Inverness and ended in the majestic and magical city of Edinburgh. I don't think Maureen could have done any better in organizing this diverse experience.

Thanks Julie! You were all so gracious. I had as much fun putting this trip together as you did experiencing it.

We Love Greece!
We flew Business Class on British Airways. Our new terrific airline. Our first stop after two days in Germany was Santorini. Great hotel with just 25 rooms. Our jacuzzi was heated up to 84 F degrees to make up for the pool temperature. All of the pools were really cold on our trip. We both swam in the Aegean. Very cold, but no sharks because they don't like cold water. The ferry ride to Crete was total chaos, but we learned to get a boarding pass at the ferry office. The ferry to Naxos was easy because most tourist don't go there. All of Maureen's tours on each island were great as usual. The front of line ticket that she arranged for us saved us at the Acropolis waiting in a two block long line!
