Our tour guide Daniel was great! He was perfectly paced with walking, and with his words as well. He made it easy to follow along with with the history of old town, and made it fun by telling local legends too. I’ve been to Rothenburg o.d.T a number of times and he showed us things I hadn’t seen before which was really great!

I thought the tour was very informative from a historical perspective, learned a lot I didn't know about the development of the city. Guess the only thing I was disappointed in was no visit to the church and no walking the city walls, both touristy but we were, after all, tourists.

Ina was a fantastic guide for our family of four. Really personalized our private tour to give us everything we were looking for. Slight confusion about meeting location since we were told to meet at St. James church - which is actually St. Jacob's church. did not realize they are the same name in different languages.
