from Frankfurt: historic treasure Rothenburg, private 1 day Tour
About This Experience
On your 4 hour tour by feet through old Rothenburg we will stop at all of the famous tourist sights like the St. Jakobus-Church or the Plönlein. But you will also see rather hidden gems like the middle age criminal museum (witch burning section is quite shocking!).
After around 90 minutes we will interrupt the tour for an excellent typical German lunch (not included, vergetarian dishes available).
Your guide is fluently bilingual in German and English and upon request can do the tour in what we call "easy English" (designated for guests with English as a foreign language).
