Tour through the historic old town of Stralsund
Description
The DARSSBAHN, a so-called little train, takes you on a tour of Stralsund. It starts at the ferry bridge at the fish market, in front of the harbor island, and takes about 45 minutes. Marvel at over 500 listed gabled houses, numerous churches and monasteries, and the maritime side of Stralsund, with the many small canals, sailing boats, and fishing boats around the harbor island. After the train starts, it heads towards the Hansa-Gymnasium, past the oldest harbor bar in Europe, straight into the narrow streets of the old town, past the Scheelehof, in Külpstraße you can take a look at the historic town hall facade, then past the ponds, city fortifications, and ramparts towards the Neuer Markt. After a lap there, continue towards the Heiliggeist Monastery and the Schwedenkai. During the trip there are numerous explanations of the city's history in German.

Friendly, thorough, flexible. A lot covered for the cost. Would highly recommend.
You can get a nice overview of the various sights.
It was a very interesting ride. The "train driver" was very talkative and gave the children present small tasks. An online booking is not necessary. We really enjoyed the comfortable ride through the old town.
Everything was understood perfectly; it was a pleasant ride with interesting information, super friendly.
Actually a nice tour through Stralsund's city center. But: at least in the back of the car, you don't understand a word from the driver and the assembly line, because it's just way too loud there when it goes over cobblestones. Asked about this after the Tour, the very self-absorbed rider Oliver reacted only with a derogatory remark, without really looking at us.
You just have to join in - great event - lots of sights and great stories. You see a lot and get told a lot about the history of Stralsund.
The ad says "suitable for strollers", but this only applies to a stroller. So we had to change our baby quickly in cold winds and put it into the carrier, but there were still unnecessary comments from the guide. He made several recommendations during the tour, so that at some point they could no longer be taken seriously. I would have liked less "band announcements" and more information directly from the guide. So for me it was too much information at once. Value for money is good and I would also recommend the city tour.
Once a city tour through narrow streets in the old town, where no bus can go. Very nice driver , as well as a good explanation of each section during the tour. Cool driver came from Lake Constance to Stralsund. 🌞
The ride was very nice and we learned a lot about Stralsund🥰🥰 the city is worth seeing but we were very disappointed with the ocean museum.
A relaxing "stroll" with the "Dicken Nele" through the old town. In addition to the standard information, there were also current notes
