Bavaria, Bach and Berlin with Gabriel Fawcett!

Bavaria, Bach and Berlin! Designed at the request of Earthbound alumni who have traveled with historian Gabriel Fawcett, this small group journey promises be an amazing adventure. The opportunities for knowledge, food, music and sheer fun will thrill you, and you’ll feel at home in this land where so many of our Christmas traditions came from. Accompanied by Gabriel, you’ll stroll through some of Germany’s most historic and beautiful cities. Beer halls and the palaces of mad monarchs in Munich give way to medieval splendor in Nuremberg, a day of music heritage and living history in Leipzig and culminating in unrivaled experiences in Berlin.

There is simply nothing like Berlin. Recent visitors have realized that they’ve only scratched the surface and must come back, and it’s only in the last five years that many of Berlin’s prime attractions have reopened or been built from scratch. This most significant and fascinating old-new metropolis is now the Cultural Capital of Europe! Your four days here will crown a uniquely unforgettable trip.

ABOUT GABRIEL FAWCETT
Gabriel Fawcett spent two years working for BBC Radio News before leaving London to live and work in Berlin, Germany, where he put his history degree and obsession for the subject to good use by specializing as a guide around this city's unique sights. He is engrossed in Central Europe's sometimes tragic, sometimes inspiring past as well as its promising future. He loves nothing better than traveling in this part of the world and gleaning new material for his historical sense of humor. We suspect that he also enjoys guiding Earthbound tours to escape from his own cooking.
