This was my second time in Rothenburg, but the first time on the tour. When we go back, I will be sure to hit the tour again. The hour long english language version starts at 8 pm and it is worth every bit of the 6 euro cost and the 60 minutes. Very informative, you visit areas both inside and... more

The Night Watchman tour is a great way to spend an early evening in Rothenburg. It was highly entertaining and worth every euro. We liked it so much that we even bought the little booklet and a postcard that he provided at the end of the tour. It is great to provide a little history and context of the town... more

I was doubtful that my children would enjoy this 30-45 minute walking tour of Rothenburg, taking place in early evening, but it has been so touted on this website, that I decided to give it a try. They loved it and wanted go do it again. It is a terrific experience, explaining the history of and every day life of... more

The Night Watchman Tour is a great way to learn all about the history and buildings of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. The Night Watchman is very knowledgable and has an interesting voice and sense of humor that keeps your attention. I recommend this tour for all ages. more

My husband and I went the last night we were in Rothenburg. We wish we went the first night so we could truly appreciate the town. It is so beautiful and well-preserved it's easy to assume the town has been Disney-fied. After the Knight Watchman Tour we realized the uniqueness of the town's history. more

I've probably taken the Night Watchman Tour five or six times with different friends and family. Georg always varies it- something catches his eye and he tells you about this, or someone asks a question and he tells you about that. The route is always pretty much the same- except when it pours with rain (when he ducks into here,... more

The Nightwatchman's Tour in Rottenburg is a terrific value. Georg "The Watchman" is both informative and humorus keeping a patter running during the one hour+ tour. The walk is conducted at a steady pace but with several stops it is not strenous for nearly everybody. The town is the star of the show and deserves all the rave reviews it... more

The night watchman provides tourists with the perfect blend of history and entertainment. His tours start in the city center every evening. He is a master story teller, and comes decked out in his "night watchman garb" complete with sickle and lamp. He explains to everyone, in a very animated way, the spectacular history of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. I... more

.The nightwatchman is really entertaining. We enjoyed every minute of his tour and plan on taking it again on our next visit. He knows a lot about Rothenburg and is never boring. One tip though, bring exact change. It was almost worth seeing the twinkle in his eye and the smile on his face as he "kept the change". We... more
