Lovely trip! Thanks to the excellent services provided by activity provider, Jürgen and Mr Diddy making this trip an absolute pleasure. I strongly recommend this private tour for others.

Perfect private tour with a lot of information, conveyed in a humorous way and loosened up with anecdotes. The 2 hours were very entertaining and a lot of fun.

Our city guide explained a lot to us about history and connections. We really liked the nature and scope of his explanations.

The guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. She really brought me closer to Würzburg.

Very exciting and entertaining told by a very likeable older lady
