Why you're safe with the holiday experts

DERTOUR is part of the DERTOUR GmbH group of Frankfurt - one of the world's leading tour operators . We also hold our own ATOL and are members of ABTA.

We've been creating perfect tailor-made holidays to the heart of Europe for 50 years. A lot has changed in that time, but one thing that has always remained the same is our total focus on serving you in the very best way that we can. This includes ensuring your satisfaction and security. It's why DERTOUR is fully licenced with our own ATOL and is also adheres to all the rules and principles of ABTA.

ATOL is a financial protection scheme for holidaymakers travelling on an air inclusive holiday, which is managed by the Civil Aviation Authority. This protects you from losing your money or from being stranded overseas in the very unlikely event that DERTOUR should go out of business. Our Air Travel Organiser's Licence (ATOL) number is ATOL 1839.

When you buy an ATOL protected air inclusive holiday* from us, you will receive a confirmation invoice from us (or via our authorised agent through which you booked) confirming your arrangements and your protection under our ATOL.

* The air inclusive holidays we arrange are ATOL protected providing either the person who pays for the booking is present in the UK when the booking is made or the first leg of any flight or flights we arrange for you commences in the UK. For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk

ABTA was created in 1950 by 22 leading travel companies. It now represents over 5,000 travel agencies and more than 900 tour operators, right across the British Isles. ABTA helps to maintain the highest standards of trading practice for the travel industry and its customers. The ABTA logo is a sign that you can expect choice, value and high levels of service from DERTOUR.

DERTOUR is also fully committed to always try to provide an alternative holiday or route in times of disruption that is out of our control, such as in the event of volcanic ash, disruption to air travel due to heavy snowfall or an airline strike grounding aircraft.

If you have any questions about our ABTA membership or the financial protection provided under our ATOL, please don't hesitate to call us on 020 7290 1104.

Dertour gives you ATOL protection with every flight

Cultural Heart of Germany Travel Guide

"The Cultural Heart of Germany symbolises a unique wealth of international culture, historical venues, impressive architecture and varied landscapes."

The federal states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia are the centrepieces of German history and culture. Together they form the 'Cultural Heart of Germany'.

Whether in Magdeburg, the German birthplace of the Holy Roman Empire, Wartburg Castle near Eisenach, where the famous reformer Martin Luther first translated the Bible into German, or Dresden, where Elector Augustus the Strong developed his impressive Baroque splendour, you will find unique sights all around the region. You will be charmed by art treasures, Gothic cathedrals and imposing castles, and fascinated by beautiful landscape gardens.

Many towns invite you to stroll around their lovingly restored historical centres. Whilst walking through quaint cobble-stoned lanes, you will discover places that have been shaped by the Middle Ages, such as Erfurt, Meissen or Bautzen just to name a few. Again and again, you will find yourself in the footsteps of influential historic personalities. Germany's most famous poets and composers lived and worked in the area of these three states. So it is no surprise that today the Cultural Heart of Germany is still one of the country's liveliest regions for theatre and music.

For those who are looking for a bit of peace and quiet, the scenic countryside has a lot to offer. Mountain ranges and lush forests will provide fabulous walking trails and the regions' chefs master the balancing act between hearty and haute cuisine.

The Cultural Heart of Germany symbolises pure joy of life!
