Excellent experience with Judith. She was very knowledgable about Mainz and the history. She showed us around the cathedral and pointed out many interesting facts and showed us many unique features. She explained everything really well and was a delight to spend a couple of hours with. We learnt a lot and would highly recommend this experience.

The simple history of Mainz was fascinating. Everyone knows Mainz for the Carneval, but nothing more.
