In 1951, 100 Dutch sportsmen and women visited still-devastated Germany in the first exchange program organized by Premier International Tours' predecessor. Six years after World War II, the mission was the same as today: to promote international sports programs, and bring young people of different countries together to create understanding of diverse cultures and backgrounds. In 1951 international sport exchanges provided an opportunity to forget the dark days of the previous decade.


Munich
Bavaria, the southernmost German state, and its capital Munich, stand apart from the rest of the country. The difference includes a more relaxed lifestyle. Visitors linger for hours in beer gardens, eating, singing and meeting new friends.   The city hosted the 1972 Olympics.

Frankfurt
Trade and traffic have formed Frankfurts destiny ever since its earliest existence as a community, more than 1,200 years ago. Its location on the Main river at the heart of the European continent made it the crossroads of prehistoric trade routes linking northern Europe with the Mediterranean areas, and Eastern with Western Europe. The city grew, spreading out to meet the imperial forest of Dreieich in the south and the wooded Taunus Mountains encircling the broad plain formed by the Main as it flows towards the Rhine. Frankfurt today is a bustling commercial city with a genuine international flair. It is also a city with many parks and museums. Look behind the imposing glass and steel of modern Frankfurt and you will find lovingly restored landmarks that highlight the city's long history. Notice that the high-rise sector of this city is jokingly referred to as "Mainhattan".

Cologne
Cologne is the fourth largest city in Germany with over 10 million residents. The city was first recognized by the Ubii, a Germanic tribe in 38 BC and given the status of an official Roman city in 50 AD. Which makes it only suiting that Cologne is home to one of Europe’s oldest universities, the University of Cologne. Over 90% percent of Cologne was destroyed during WWII. There has been great care taken to restore and keep the old buildings. Throughout the perilous destruction the city flowered into an important media center of modern, sheek culture. As it is home to over 30 museums, 12 Romanesque Churches, hundreds of galleries and endless sights for young and old to enjoy.
