What a step back in time in this beautiful German village. So much to explore. Boris our tour guide was exceptional with his knowledge of the area & Germany. He was happy to answer all our questions.

Well the tour was cancelled due to the lack of customers for the tour; however, I was offered a different tour to Heidelberg and Rothenburg instead. It was pretty cool seeing all the sites and fellow travelers and football fans. The tour guide Thomas was great and funny. Just for information (I didn’t know this at the time), but Frankfurt’s tour season kinda of ends prior to the end of October. The reason for a brief continuation of tours were due mainly of the NFL games being played in consecutive weeks in Frankfurt. Almost all the people on the tour were football fans from KC or Miami.

I requested & paid for the day trip to Rothenburg but was told as I checked in no driver was available for Rothenburg, so this trip would be for both Rothenburg & Heidelberg. Check your records Viator,I did the Heidelberg trip 2 days before. Tour guide never introduced himself, and although a lovely man, we tromped thru the darkest of alleys & cobblestone streets & climbed the wall, while all the Christmas festivities were behind us. It was a 13 hour bus ride with no water & only 2 bathroom breaks, & less than 2 hours in each town. Very disappointing.

Thomas was our guide and he was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Germany and Frankfurt and made our trip to Rothenburg amazing! Rothenburg is a quaint, beautiful, medieval town that has so much charm and the largest Christmas market! We absolutely loved every second! We missed the Christmas markets by a few days but totally worth the trip, about 1.5 hour drive from Frankfurt, a must see!!

Our guide was excellent - entertaining and very knowledgeable about the history of the sites visited.

We had a day to kill in Frankfurt, so we ventured to the town of Rothenburg. It takes about 2 hours to reach Rothenburgh, but the drive is worth it. The town itself is beautiful with a lot of history and things to see. Our guide Peter was incredible with knowledge and kindness.

Beautiful countryside on the way to, and surrounding Rothenburg. Amazing medieval town, try not to miss this great tour.

Richard_L

Just a beautiful day circling the town and learning about its history. I enjoyed the castle part of the town.

Unfortunately on our journey there, a massive traffic jam on the highway caused a 2.5 hrs delay in our tour. Though, Peter was very kind to extend the time, some places of interest were already closed towards the early evening. I would have appreciated some time for us to look into the shops there. We only managed to go into the Christmas shop.

The town was beautiful and our tour guide Boris was amazing! Perfect balance of informative narration, good conversation and giving us the autonomy to explore on our own! Would definitely recommend
