Offered in: German and 1 more

Discover the most magnificent middle age town in Germany on a private Tour. You will see all Rothenburg sights, and learn a lot about the area in an easy and entertaining manner. But you will also recieve tons of information about Germany in general, it´s history and culture and get valuable advice for the continuation of your trip.

On your 4 hour tour by feet through old Rothenburg we will stop at all of the famous tourist sights like the St. Jakobus-Church or the Plönlein. But you will also see rather hidden gems like the middle age criminal museum (witch burning section is quite shocking!).

After around 90 minutes we will interrupt the tour for an excellent typical German lunch (not included, vergetarian dishes available).

Your guide is fluently bilingual in German and English and upon request can do the tour in what we call "easy English" (designated for guests with English as a foreign language).
