Our private tour guide was AMAZING! You can tell he loves history and the town of Rothenburg! He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions! He gave us more ideas of places to visit and must sees! He even recommended a cute wine shop! I don’t know how he managed this, but our tour timed up perfectly with the clock tower bell and animatronics! It was amazing!

Wonderful experience We had 3 small children in our group that we were worried they would last through the hour our guide was wonderful and engaged the children right off the bat! Fabulous everyone enjoyed the tour

Wonderful evening. Harry was a great guide and made things very interesting for our two girls (9 and 13). An interesting mix of facts and lore. Definitely worth the time and money.

Our guide was Daniel. Really good and informative. In-depth knowledge of history and culture. Also very patient. Waited for us when we were waited. Definitely not to be missed.

Great evening discovering Rothenburg, we learned so much. Thank you
