Well this was okay, but not very exciting. You see most of the highlights driving by, you get many facts and informations, but lively is something else. All presented technical, in a very boring way. Staff was nice and friendly- french and english headphone channel were at least a bit more interesting.

The best I can say is that for a short amount of time and a small amount of money you get a good outline of sights to see after the tour is over. You wont see or learn anything interesting on the tour itself.

cruising along the Rhine with APT we wished we had decided on a later in the year city tour, everything was covered in snow, and many of the places to visit were closed until spring, we travelled in March! So all I have to offer is beautiful scenery covered in snow and the tops of buildings, most of the roofs were covered in snow. Some ventured out on a tour, but we stayed in the warmth in the Lounge of the ship and enjoyed an amazing chat on learning a few German words by three lovely Barvarian women, who also brought along a selection of Schnapps for us to try. Apparently this drink is an alexior for revelling, from babies teething to keeping warm and feeling a little fuzzy, as I did after sampling each strength from strongest to lightest. It was a great on board lecture, but next time, will have to travel later in the season and get off the ship to enjoy what Wurzurg has to offer. But I do know a great deal more about Schnapps than I did!

Although having visited Wurzberg frequently before I still found this tour of interest. It has audio in various languages and is wuite comfortable - I appreciated the clear roof, which permited me to see the towers above while protecting me from the rain.

This was a neat way to see the sights of Wurzburg. The only issue I had as we had to walk from the main train station, then to the information center at Market Square then onto the Residenz to get on the city tour by train. The tours are in English and German. Our English tour was the last car of the train but that was great, everything was explained fully. One good feature of the tour is that it finishes at the Residenz and then you can walk in and tour the Residenz. The tour is 40 minutes and shows you all of the spots you may want to see when you walk the town.

We actually did this in reverse order mainly due to timing of wanting to complete tours before places closed. I still enjoyed the bumpy ride! Our driver did not speak English, however he did have a German to English translation app on his phone. Asking him if the tour was in English took quite awhile to get the correct answer! Every car has a unit that allows you to select your language hence the division of people on any given car. We were lucky enough to be alone in our car so we could talk about what we were seeing. We also parked in the Residenz parking lot all day while we walked the city.

It was an informative tour. Just 40 minutes. It gives you a nice layout of the old town and the history of Würzburg. I enjoyed it. Plus your ticket gets you a free coffee at a great restaurant called Schönborn where you can have a nice breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

We were glad to find the tour train, which departs from the residence. It gave a nice history of Wurzburg in English in the last car. At 40 minutes it was a good length to get our initial bearings in this very walkable city. I kept hoping it would cross the river and climb us up to the fortress to have a look there - but it did not. And as others mentioned, the ride is a bit bumpy (my pedometer thought we were walking, due to the oscillations ;).

As has previously been said this is quite a difficult tour to review. The tour does show you the main part of the city and really I used this as an opportunity to see places that looked interesting and then walked back for a better look later and to take photos. The train is certainly very bumpy and juddering. It's difficult to take photos because the streets are narrow and also because of the windows on the train. It may be different in the summer when the weather is hotter and possibly the windows are open There were three carriages. Two German speaking and one English, which was a good idea. There was not a lot of leg room however and a little uncomfortable as I am very tall. It can get busy so I advise that if you are going to take the tour, get there early. The train we were going to take was full. I think it's a good introduction to the city which we help you decide what you would like to see in more detail. Nothing special but ok and reasonably priced.

As we had reached Wurzburg around 4 in the evening, this was the only activity we could do, considering that the last tour was at 5 pm. It is made up of three coaches pulled by a prime mover shaped in the shape of a train engine. The tickets (7 or 8 Euros per person) have to be bought from the driver. The commentary is in German language by a public speaker system and in English in the third coach, We were only two persons in the third coach. The first coach was full of passengers who were listening to the German commentary. Second coach was empty. As we were in the third coach, hence we were treated to the maximum jolts, but the quality of commentary was excellent with a final word being reserved for the famed Franconian wine, which we were exhorted to treat ourselves to, before leaving the city. The city tour was of a little over 30 minutes duration which took us all around the old city center covering almost the entire gamut of buildings (not the Fortress) like Alte Mainbruecke, Haus zum Falken, The Residenz (from where the tour starts), St. Killian cathedral, Dom and all the rest. But, somehow we were pretty dissatisfied, as it was just a one ride which did not stop at any place, with a pretty bumpy, shuddering ride which had us clinging on to our seats as the speed was quite fast.

due to the very narrow streets in this old town. Photo ops are not really possible. Does not make this city tour bad, but it does need to be mentioned. My biggest disappointment was the narration. It is given in both German (of course) and English. However, the German is very loud and causes those who wish to hear it in English are at a disadvantage. The rider gets a good overview.
