Hello dear guests, Welcome to my wonderful home town of Trier. My name is Andrea and I am your English- speaking tour guide for Trier, Luxembourg and the Moselle and Saar river region. I am very happy to show you around and let you experience the most impressive monuments in this region , its wonderful landscape, our incredible history dating back to the Roman times, people's hospitality and of course - our world famous wine :-) I was born and raised in Trier. My passion for being a tour guide initially started out as a hobby more than ten years ago. While travelling the world myself, my interest in being a guide in my home was formed. Seeing people in the whole world passionate about inviting tourists to get to know their home countries, their history and culture inspired me to fulfill this profession as well. For several years, I am now a full-time tour guide guiding guests from all over the world. I look forward to meeting you as well. If you are interested in visiting the "little Rome" or the former "Roma Secunda" and its greater region, I will be happy to customize tours so that they fit your interests. You can pick and choose whatever you wish. You have a wide range of options of activities in our wonderful region. From experiencing 2000 years old historic Roman monuments to hiking in vineyards or cruising the River Moselle. If you are looking for the culinary experience, we have plenty of great options for Wine tasting and local dishes. If you need tips or guidance on what's best for you, please contact me and I will be happy to help. We can create your very personal package. Thank you very much and I hope to see you soon.

Trier- or Augusta Treverorum - was founded 17 BC by the Emperor Augustus and was called the 'Roma Secunda', the second Rome. We start at the Porta Nigra, our city's most famous landmark - it is the last existing city gate north of the alps. Then, we discover to the House of Three Kings, the center of many sagas and stories from the Middle Age in Trier and the 'Judengasse', which was the Jewish quarter until the 15th century. Discover the main market established in the 10th century, which is still at the center of the city's life until today. On the market square, we will see the fountain of St. Peter as well as the 'Steipe', an impressive representative building. We will also discover the Trier Cathedral and the Church of our Lady. The second half of our tour will revolve around the Emperor's audience hall, the Electoral Palace and the magnificent gardens next to it. We end with entering the ancient Empiral Baths as well as the Amphitheater, the place where once the Gladiators fought.
Andrea was great! Easy to be with, kept the tour at a great pace. Lots of information history and fun conversations. Really saw Trier from a great perspective. Andrea was kind enough to even call ahead to a restaurant and make reservations which helped us a lot not know how to speak German. Really good tour from a local
We had a 3 hour walking tour with Andrea, during which time we walked more about 5 miles (per our iPhones). She did a great job of taking us to all of the sites we had requested to visit, and providing short, factual statements about each of them. The down side of this approach (entirely due to our identifying multiple sites) was that we had little or no time for reflection or thoughtful dialogue. " Less is (often) more" -- and this tour was an example of that truism. My husband and I would definitely recommend Andrea's services. She is smart, insightful, knowledgeable. And we really appreciated her also going above and beyond, by walking us back to the train station!
Andrea was superb! Knowledgeable. Clear! Extremely pleasant to spend the afternoon. Thank you Andrea!
Andrea was great! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her in Trier. There is so much history to take it and she did a great job making it interesting for the whole family.
Andrea did a fantastic job showing us around Trier. She had a wonderful depth of knowledge about the history and gave some great suggestions on what to do with the rest of our day. Would definitely take another tour from her and highly recommend her.
We had no idea how fascinating Trier was until we got there. Amazing little gem of a town that must not be missed and our guide did an excellent job of being both informative and entertaining. She was lighthearted and even though we were running around 15 minutes late getting there she was amendable to making it all work out. Fascinating town! And great tour and tour guide.
We will start at your chosen time at the meeting point near Porta Nigra: - Discover the Porta Nigra, the house of Three Kings, the Jewish quarter and the main market square. All within short walking distance from each other, in the very centre of our city. - Next, we continue to the famous Trier Cathedral, an impressive Roman church, which combines several centuries of architectural styles. Right beside the Cathedral, we can admire the Church of our Lady. The two churches and their surroundings form the so-called 'Mini Vatican'. - After a short walk, we discover the Basilica of Constantine - the audience hall for the Roman Emperor. - In close proximity, we find the Rococo Electoral Palace and the Palace gardens. The Imperial Baths are up next, which were also built during the Constanian age. - After another 10 minutes walk, we can admire the Amphitheatre, the oldest surviving Roman structure in Trier. Short breaks are possible any time during the tour. This itinerary is my suggestion and can be customized
