Amazing one man show with all you need to know about the town in a lovely, fun way. No brochure or locals can give you more! More

This tour was lots of fun. The town is adorable and wandering through the streets after dark with George was great. He was funny, interesting and very personable. All ages will like this tour, it’s not a ghost tour, so little ones won’t be scared. Make sure you have Euros, as the guide collects the money at the end of... More

We loved the Night Watchman tour in Rothenburg. The nightwatchman is a scream. It was very interesting and funny as well. His comic pauses and sense of humor is awesome! I would definitely do this tour! One of the best tours I ever did! It is a must in Rothenburg! More

This one hour tour was the highlight of our time in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. The Night Watchman is funny, entertaining and tells much of the history of the walled city. Adults and older children will get the most out of the tour, but little kids seem to enjoy him, too. The first tour at 8:00 p.m. Is in English... More

When you are in Rothenburg, this is a must! The nightwatcher will tell you the stories about Rothenburg in a memorable way. Don't think about normal boring tour with lots of facts.. no no... he will tell you in a funny way. I laugh most of the time, sometimes ironic compare to our situation now. The one hour tour in...

If you do one thing in Rothenburg, go on the Night Watchmen Tour. He is great - very funny and informative. He takes you on a tour of the city, explaining the key locations and events from the city's history, all sprinkled with a bit of humor. Also, it is great for kids (5, 6, and 9)....they were enthralled. More
