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.

Know  predominately for the being the home to the biggest shopping mall in Germany known as CentrO, Oberhausen is a small city situated between Duisburg and Essen. It is also known for hosting the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, which is a fascinating cultural experience.

Shopping on Oberhausen is divided into two dominate areas. Firsty the old centre, where all Oberhausen historical buildings can be found, as well as the hundreds of shops, restaurants, stalls and bars. Langemarkstrasse is home to the upscale boutiques for a more elegant clientele. Marktstrasse, more for everyday perchases has a relaxing atmosphere while having a range of products on offer on the 1.5 kilometre long street

The CentrO is the other main shopping area. It is Europe's largest shopping complex with over 200 shops as well also having cafes and restaurants. It is consutrcted in a elegant way with marble and brass adorning the walls and would satisfy even the most demanding of shoppers.

Oberhausen as an industrial town has a number of interesting sights to discover. The Gasometer is definitely the town's most famous landmark. No longer in use as a gasometer, it now holds Europe's most unusual exhibition hall. Its construction has created the most fascinating acoustics with up to eight echoes. There is a glass lift from which you can see the shiny black walls of the inside of the gastometer and takes you up to the viewing platform.

The old market of Oberhausen is in the town centre and is framed by the Church of the Sacred Heart, a neo-Gothic edifice.

The museums in this town are also of great interest. Rhenish Industrial Museum housed in a former zinc mill exhibits the industrial history of the region, specifically the iron and steel-making history on the Rhine and Ruhr rivers. In part of this museum exists the Eisenheim Housing Estate which informs on the industrial heritage of the Ruhr area.

The CentrO also houses a spectacular Christmas market which is not to be missed. It runs for six weeks and is in the shopping centre itself decorated by thousands of lights and home to many stalls selling a variety of festive goods and locally crafted goods.
