The historical walking tour is provided by an experienced and native-English-speaking guide Tom, an Esslingen local. "Esslingen am Neckar" is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Germany, with over 200 preserved buildings from this period. Visitors are in awe of its rich history and beauty, as it is nestled in a valley, surrounded by canals and vineyards. The tour includes: a brief history of Esslingen and the Esslingen Christmas markets (incl. Medieval market) showing you the highlights and the different areas, explanation of some of the German Christmas traditions and a walking tour including stops at the "Hafenmarket" (location of some of Germany's oldest buildings), Inner Bridge (2nd oldest bridge in Germany), Little Venice, and the Stadtkirche (St. Dionys) You will be also be given some "insider's tips" on where to eat, shop and keep warm.
I will meet you at the Esslingen train station or the Esslingen Tourist Information Center at the Market Square, where the tour begins. The Esslingen Christmas market is from Nov. 26th (11:00 opening time) through Dec. 22nd 2024. After a brief introduction, we will make approximately 9 stops: - Half-timbered homes, old churches, old city wall, tower gates and a great view of the castle (Burg) - Beautiful "Little Venice", romantic canals and the charming "inner bridge", which connected Esslingen to the outside world. - The important Church of St. Dionysius - Insider and hidden sites, which are not easily found on your own - The beautiful park on the Maille island with the view of one of Germany's oldest stone bridges and canal works - Tour of the Esslingen Medieval Christmas market, which attracts visitors from around the world. We usually have time to stop for a warm beverage. - Return to your desired location within Esslingen. Special tours may be arranged upon request
