>> Guided tours with heart and brain << Hello and moin, as we say here in Northern Germany. My name is Antje and I would be more than happy to show you my lovely homeland Mecklenburg-West-Pomerania! I have been working as a tour guide for more than 10 years now and I do it with passion. What I like most is: - to tell stories that you will remember - to incorporate personal insights and stories into my tours - to show you things that you normally just would pass by - to give you "light bulb moments" - to set local history into a larger frame to show how things are related with each other - to get in good contact with my guests and have interesting conversations - to learn from each other - to have a nice day with you. :-) I am interested in history, culture and nature. Therefore I read books in these fields and enlarge my knowledge, so that I can share it with you. I have been traveling a lot, I also worked on a cruise liner, but whenever I come back home to Mecklenburg-West-Pomerania I feel that this is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. And I would like to share this love with you! What my guests told me after they were on a tour with me: "Thanks for sharing your personal story with us. It meant a lot. ", "You are an excellent guide. ", "We have learnt a lot today. ", "You have a lovely voice. " Corona-Update: I am fully vaccinated. I have been working as a guide for more than 10 years. I am a licensed church guide. I am not a driver-guide. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Highlights of Rostock for families
Overview of your Rostock tour
This tour is made for families who want to see the beautiful Hanseatic town Rostock and spend a pleasant time in Europe's best Zoo (category: 500. 000-1. 000. 000 visitors per year). As a mother I know how to adapt a sightseeing tour for kids, where the next playground is and where you get the best ice cream. We will visit the 800-years old town Rostock with its beautiful university square, the gabled merchants house, the typical brick churches. But apart from dates and facts we will find out how high the hairdos of Baroque duchesses were and why they had flea traps in their clothes. We will learn to communicate via fan-language and learn about secret symbols at churches. Then we will visit the Zoo of Rostock, which was prized Europes best Zoo. Beautifully located in a forest it is known for the Darwineum with its Orang-Utans and Gorillas as well as for the Polarium with its Polar bears and penguins. Come and see it!
