Highlights
  • Rothenburg ob der Tauber - Discover the most splendid medieval town in Germany. On your private full-day tour, you’ll explore all of Rothenburg’s attractions and gain insights into German history and culture. In addition to the individually mentioned sights, you’ll visit the Medieval Crime Museum, the old city walls with their two famous towers, the historic Tauber Valley double bridge, and, upon request, either the Christmas Museum or the signs of Jewish life in the Middle Ages.
  • Das Plonlein - “Das Plönlein” is a small square with a fountain and is one of the most picturesque spots in Germany. The “sloping” half-timbered house on one of its sides looks like it was built for a “Grimm” fairy tale.
  • St. Jakobskirche - An impressive church on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, dating back to the 14th century.
  • Burggarten - Once a grand castle of the “Stauffer” dynasty, it now serves as a beautiful park and flower garden area.

Great day trip to a beautiful town with a very knowledgable guide - We had a wonderful time visiting the beautiful city of Rothenburg on der Tauber today, with Maik being our private guide. Maik was very engaging with his vast knowledge of history, and an easy conversationalist. Given the limited time available to sight see at the city, Maik did his checks onsite regarding closing times of the attractions (closing time for one or two was not updated on their websites), and rejigged the sequence of the stops to let us optimize our experience. Although it was slightly rushed, Maik made sure that that we covered all the ‘must-see’ and ‘must-dos’. Highly recommended to do this tour with him!
