Imagine it’s 95 and you get in a glass box with almost no air movement. At times you might feel like passing out. I would be surprised if it wasn’t over 100 in it. I wished we could have gotten off. It doesn’t stop and there’s no way to alert the driver. If it’s summer, THIS IS A NO.
Unfortunately, the advertised itinerary was not the same as the one that was carried out. We had to visit some places on foot, whereas the brochure said the little train would pass by.
Dear Purtroppo , we currently have a construction site on the Danube and therefore had to change our route. That is the reason. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about it.
Good overview of Regensburg and its sights. Brief explanation of the city's history. Central departure point at the cathedral.
Vielen Dank für die 5 Sterne! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen unsere übersichtliche Einführung in die Historie Regensburgs gefallen hat und Sie sich bei der Fahrt mit der Bimmelbahn einen ersten Eindruck von der Stadt verschaffen konnten. Auch der Startpunkt war leicht zu finden - das ist natürlich optimal. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bald wieder einmal an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen! Viele Grüße Ihr City Tour Team
I wish there had been more about the city in the audio tour. Unfortunately, they didn't truly follow the map, so we didn't get to see everything that was listed on the map.
Thank you for your feedback. There is currently a major construction site in the Danube area of Regensburg, as we also announce on our website. As soon as the roadblocks are removed, the train will be able to follow its designated route on the map. We hope that you still enjoyed your trip through Regensburg, and we are looking forward to welcoming you again soon. Best regards, Your City Tour Team
A truly positive experience. Extremely kind staff with very detailed explanations. Courtesy and professionalism. An experience definitely worth doing.
Vielen Dank für Ihr tolles Feedback und die 5 Sterne! Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie mit der Rundfahrt durch Regensburg ein schönes Erlebnis mit nach Hause nehmen können und auch unser freundlicher und kompetenter Service vor Ort einen so positiven Eindruck hinterlassen hat. Gern würden wir Sie wieder einmal in einer unserer Bahnen willkommen heißen. Herzliche Grüße Ihr City Tour Team
We usually like the "little trains" and have taken the tours in several cities in Europe and Asia. This was the worst. The printed map/itinerary was not where the driver took us. Not even close. The audio lined up with our amended route, but her English, although recorded, was quite poor, and made no mention of our new plan. And, the most amazing part: we went by the train station twice but nowhere near the Danube River or the famous Stone Bridge that gives the city its charm. After the tour, we asked why and were told it had been re-routed!!! Duh. I said we should have been told. The three of us felt they had stolen our 30 euros.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry that the tour did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, due to ongoing construction work, it is currently not possible for our train to operate along the Danube River and pass the Stone Bridge. This temporary route change is clearly communicated on our website and is also displayed at our ticket counter before tickets are purchased. We hope you were still able to enjoy some of the many historic sights of Regensburg during your stay. Kind regards, Frank Venus
The train tour is a nice way to get an overview of Regensburg, especially if it’s your first visit. It provides a good introduction to the city’s main landmarks and history. Be aware that the train does not have air conditioning, so it can get quite hot on warm days. The recap of the facts at the end of the tour felt unnecessary, as most of the information had already been covered during the ride. Overall, though, it was an enjoyable and informative tour.
You get a good overview of this very beautiful city. Is highly recommended and informative
Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung und die 5 Sterne! Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Bimmelbahn-Tour durch die malerische Altstadt Regensburgs so gut gefallen hat und Sie die Rundfahrt auch anderen Besuchern weiterempfehlen würden. Schön, dass Sie so eine gute Zeit bei uns hatten! Viele Grüße Ihr City Tour Team
More attention should be paid to sights that tourists and visitors can also visit
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid, dass Sie bei den bereitgestellten Informationen noch weiterreichende Auskünfte vermisst haben. Beim langsamen Vorbeifahren an den bedeutendsten Sehenswürdigkeiten Regensburgs steht uns leider nur eine begrenzte Zeitspanne zur Verfügung. Diese versuchen wir möglichst umfangreich, fesselnd und stimmig mit wissenswerten Fakten und Anekdoten zur Geschichte, Architektur und Kultur der Domstadt auszufüllen. Sollte da die eine oder andere Frage auf der Strecke bleiben, besteht nach der Fahrt immer die Möglichkeit, sich bei der nahe gelegenen Tourist Information noch ausführlicher beraten zu lassen. Wir hoffen, Sie haben Ihren Aufenthalt in Regensburg dennoch vollauf genießen können. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Ihr City Tour Team
Very entertaining and informative. Perfect for a first impression of a city. Well suited for individuals who have difficulty walking.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung und die 5 Sterne! Wir freuen uns, dass Sie die Fahrt mit der Bimmelbahn genutzt haben, um auf bequeme, unterhaltsame Weise Ihre ersten interessanten Eindrücke vom wunderschönen Regensburg zu sammeln. Bis zum nächsten Mal, gerne auch an einem unserer anderen Standorte in Nürnberg oder Würzburg! Viele Grüße Ihr City Tour Team
