Rothenburg

Private Rothenburg Day Tour from Nuremberg

***PLEASE  CONTACT  ME  BEFORE  BOOKING  TO  CHECK  MY  AVAILABILITY***

You could say that I'm a cultural interpreter, not a teacher (passing on knowledge) or a sightseeing guide (pointing things out). I'm more like a reverse anthropologist: a local expert insider explaining and sharing Rothenburg's culture and history with my inquisitive customers!

I lead exploratory walks and unscripted cultural experiences.

Information is presented in a way that allows my guests to make their own mental connections because, after all, a tour with just interesting information is infotainment.

The most memorable tours are the ones that make people think and feel.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber, seemingly untouched by the passage of time, is a town on the Romantic Road that is approx. 1 hour drive from Nuremberg. It is known for its medieval town center and its mostly undamaged 14th-century town wall.

Find out, if the castle on the hill was ever conquered, how the water was brought up there and where prisoners were kept!

Join me on a walk with the best city views!
