Au départ de Francfort : Rothenburg, un trésor historique, visite privée d'une journée
Description
Découvrez la plus belle ville médiévale d'Allemagne lors d'une visite guidée privée. Vous découvrirez tous les sites touristiques de Rothenburg et en apprendrez beaucoup sur la région, tout en vous amusant. Mais vous recevrez également une multitude d'informations sur l'Allemagne en général, son histoire et sa culture, ainsi que de précieux conseils pour la suite de votre voyage. Au cours de cette visite guidée à pied de 4 heures dans le vieux Rothenburg, nous nous arrêterons à tous les sites touristiques célèbres, comme l'église Saint-Jacques ou la place Plönlein. Mais vous découvrirez aussi des joyaux méconnus, comme le musée du crime au Moyen Âge (la section consacrée aux bûchers de sorcières est assez choquante !). Au bout d'environ 90 minutes, nous ferons une pause pour déguster un excellent déjeuner typiquement allemand (non compris dans le prix, plats végétariens disponibles). Votre guide parle couramment l'allemand et l'anglais et, sur demande, peut animer la visite en « Anglais simplifié » (destiné aux visiteurs dont l'anglais est une langue étrangère).

« Das Plönlein » est une petite place agrémentée d'une fontaine et l'un des endroits les plus pittoresques d'Allemagne. La maison à moitié en bois, dont l'une des façades est en pente, semble tout droit sortie d'un conte de Grimm
Une église impressionnante sur le chemin de pèlerinage de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle. Datant du XIVe siècle.
Autrefois un immense château de la dynastie des Stauffer, ce lieu est aujourd'hui un magnifique parc agrémenté de jardins fleuris.
Au musée du Moyen Âge, vous pourrez notamment découvrir les cachots de cette époque. Nous visiterons également le musée du crime médiéval, qui abrite une vaste collection d'instruments de torture, ainsi qu'une exposition temporaire consacrée à la chasse aux sorcières.

Great information provided. Guide was very attentive to our needs and limitations. Maik was awesome!
Thanks Miguel for the great review. I really enjoyed the day with you and your mom, you are very lovley people
Rothenburg is one of the most beautiful towns in Germany. Again Mike M.did not disappoint as a guide and allowed us extra time in the Kathy Wolf art store. More Nutcrackers to take home.
Thank you very much for the nice review, although readers may not take "did not disappoint" as a compIiment. I enjoyed the tour with you and I hope to see you again one day! Remark for third parties: This review was written by someone who did 2 tours with us. The remark "again did not dissappoint" refers to the other review which was more detailed and very positive, yet you don´t find it here, because it was for another tour.
Was a super fun day! Rothenburg is a very beautiful town with lots of history. Tour guide was knowledgeable and shared lots of information.. I appreciated the free time to do some shopping.
Thanks and hope you had a safe trip back...
Maik was very flexible with our flight delays. He communicated in advance of our travel and helped plan a perfect day trip for our family (including a grandma and 2 teens.) He located a sword shop for our avid sword collecting teen, found the most delicious local restaurants for us, gave interesting stories and histories of sites, answered questions, and was a very safe driver even in foggy conditions on the autobahn. He extended our time and was a gracious host & guide.
This is the 3rd time I have tried to write this review since there is a glitch. So now this is going to be short & sweet. We loved the town of Rothenberg, so much so we wish we had more time there. Mike the driver picked us up on time at our hotel. He is a wealth of knowledge of fun facts and historical significance. His regular car broke down and he had to rent a car before our trip. The only negative is that rental had such loud road noise it was hard to hear Mike talk. He talked the whole drive of facts, however I caught my husband leaning in from the back seat to hear him also. Of coarse you can't do that the whole time so we are sure we missed some nuggets of information. The town is so quaint, and filled with history. We wish we had more time to go to their Christmas Market, and local shops or walk around the wall-but we just ran out of time. Since we were there during Christmas Season we enjoyed all the decor and the handmade ornaments from the local town's children. The church's and dungeons were filled with history! Mike took us to a local German restaurant and made a conscious effort of one of our food intolerance to pick the right place. The food and service was excellent. Mike even took us to a great sunset spot for a nice picture and the bell tower to see the whole village. This was a great excursion and should be on your list!! You won't be disappointed.
Thanx for the great review. Just allow a general remark. The car used was a midsize SUV and it was as noisy as our own cars. Due to the very hight fuel cost in Germany almost all cars have downsized (and therefore more fuel efficient) engines and almost all of them are 4 cylinders only (6 and 8 cylinders are gone except for the top notch luxury class). This combination unfortunately makes our cars more noisy then the typical US-American SUVs.
Guide Mike was informative and entertaining. He provided us with a good picture of the history of the area.
Highly recommend this tour with Maik! He is a wealth of knowledge and we sincerely enjoyed our time with him. He was on time, was super friendly, taught us so much about German history, and was protective over us while we interacted with the public. He kept us on time so that we hit all of the key sites on the tour and was a pleasure to spend the day with. Looking forward to another tour with Maik in the future!
Maik was an absolutely outstanding guide in every aspect. The car was clean, fresh and quiet. His information was excellent throughout the ride and the walking tour of Rothenburg. It felt like he was a friend taking us along on a trip but yet was highly knowledgeable and professional. My highest recommendation
From Frankfurt this was a long drive but well worth the time. Visiting Rothenburg was like going back in time. A beautiful walled city that remains in tact through wars. Don’t miss the Christmas shop. You can spend hours there and still not see everything. The museums add to the historical experience of the tour and Michael will challenge you with the walking tour so wear comfortable shoes!
We had a wonderful time visiting the beautiful city of Rothenburg on der Tauber today, with Maik being our private guide. Maik was very engaging with his vast knowledge of history, and an easy conversationalist. Given the limited time available to sight see at the city, Maik did his checks onsite regarding closing times of the attractions (closing time for one or two was not updated on their websites), and rejigged the sequence of the stops to let us optimize our experience. Although it was slightly rushed, Maik made sure that that we covered all the ‘must-see’ and ‘must-dos’. Highly recommended to do this tour with him!
