Which languages do the guides speak?

Our Helios guides lead the walks in Rothenburg in English or German. You choose the language when you book.

Can the guide pick us up from our hotel?

Yes, for both private walks, from any hotel inside the old town walls. If you stay outside the walls, we agree a meeting point in the old town.

Does the day trip from Munich start in Rothenburg?

No. The coach day trip starts and ends at Karlsplatz in central Munich. In Rothenburg you have about two hours of free time, without a guided tour.

Is the evening walk the public Night Watchman tour?

No. Our evening walk is private, for your group alone, and is led by a Helios guide who tells the stories of the medieval night watch.

Our most recommended things to do in Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one of the best-preserved walled towns in Germany. Its old town sits on a ridge above the Tauber valley, ringed by walls, towers and gates. Inside, the market square with the Town Hall and the old councillors' tavern, the Ratstrinkstube, St. Jakob's Church and St. George's Fountain lie only a few minutes' walk apart, which makes the town easy to explore on foot.

Our Helios guides offer two private walks here, both in English or German. The old town walk takes up to six guests through the main sights in about an hour and a quarter. The evening walk, for up to 20 guests, leads you through the quiet streets after dark and tells the stories of the medieval night watch. For both, your guide can pick you up from your hotel inside the walls. If you are staying in Munich, our coach day trip follows the Romantic Road to Harburg Castle and gives you about two hours of free time in Rothenburg; that trip starts and ends in Munich.

The streets inside the walls are cobbled, so wear comfortable shoes. Rothenburg is busiest during the day, and an evening walk shows a calmer side of the town. Prices on this page are estimates; the final price, meeting point and time are confirmed with your booking.
