I'm beginning initial research for a June 2026 trip including a Rhine day cruise. Many posts here have been quite helpful - thank you to all who have shared their experience and advice.
I'm intrigued by Siegfried's Mechanisches Musikkabinett in Rüdesheim, but find the website short on specifics. It is made clear that guided tours are required and suggested "we recommend you to reserve your spots online, over the phone, or by visiting us on site".
For those of you who have visited Siegfried, I wondered how many days in advance you made your arrangements/reservation? I was hoping for some flexibility in choosing a Rhine cruise day to take advantage of the best weather. That could mean last minute contacting Siegfried, at most a day or two in advance. Will we be locked out of availability? Probably, we would be looking for an afternoon time slot in mid-June.
I have also noted that organized Rhine group tours sometimes include Siegfried - I fear we won't be able to beat the demands of larger groups. Thoughts welcome on this!
Thanks - I'm interested in all your experiences and thoughts on the venue!
