Amazing! - Mr. Ekkehard Werner was an amazing tour guide. He knew an immense amount of knowledge, not just regarding Rothenburg, but world knowledge as well. It was a great time learning with him about the town, Germany's history, and touring the town as well. We were able to cover everything and he was very descriptive. My family and I were very pleased with our experience. I would recommend this tour to our family and friends!
