Itinerary
We will walk towards the market square where you will see the first two prominent landmarks, the Falkenhaus an inn built in the 18th century with a lovely rococo facade. Just north of the marketplace lies the Marienkapele (Mary’s Chapel) with its well preserved gothic architecture and beautiful statues made by famous German sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider. It’s a short walk from there to the town hall and the large baroque fountain, the “Vierröhrenbrunnen”, from this point we will be crossing the old bridge over the main river which is also a great photo opportunity. (Optional on this tour is the Marienberg Fortress across the river, which is accessible by public transport or on foot. It’s about a 20 minute walk up to the fortress if you prefer walking, and from there you will have a spectacular view of the Main river valley and the city. On the way down, crossing the bridge, we’re making our way towards the Residence, a grand baroque city palace. Located under the Residence is the Staatlicher Hofkeller. The old royal court wine cellar that offers some of the best wines of the region, a trade this city is famous for!

Elizabeth was excellent. Very knowledgeable, good communication, answered all questions, highly recommend.
Since we unfortunately had 2 hours train delay we could not use the full 2 hours of the tour. Nevertheless, Ms Nickel took a little longer to show us some of Würzburg. Her stories were very refreshing and entertaining. Furthermore, she and a few more tips on what else we can do. On the whole, we really liked the tour. Thank you for this
"Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Ihnen die Führung mit Frau Nickel trotz der Zugverspätung gut gefallen hat und Sie Würzburg auf diese Weise noch ein wenig entdecken konnten. Wir geben Ihr Lob gerne an Frau Nickel weiter – sie wird sich sehr darüber freuen. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder in Würzburg begrüßen zu dürfen und wünschen Ihnen weiterhin viele schöne Reiseerlebnisse!"
So much variety.well spoken guide(English) beautiful city. Personalized, which added emotion to the stories. Loved it all!!
We’re glad you enjoyed the variety and the way our guide brought the city’s stories to life in English. It’s wonderful to hear that the personalized touch made the experience even more memorable for you, and we hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
It was more like share a drink. No AH moment even from a distance along river banks. There was a spot I saw clamped of locked keys.
Würzburg is a key starting point of the Romantic Road and a popular stop for many river cruises, known for its historic landmarks. While it may not have been the experience you were hoping for, it offers a more laid-back atmosphere, perfect for those who enjoy exploring its rich history and scenic views. We appreciate your perspective.
Stefanie was fantastic. We have traveled to a lot of countries with various guides and she was by far the best. She enjoys people and has guided for over 20 years. It showed. She provided in detail background history of the famous sights. We had great conversation throughout the tour. She knew what would be open, such as cathedrals etc. She packed a lot in; 3 hours worth of content in 2 hours. She made the best use of our time. It was truly an enjoyable experience. Anyone is fortunate to have Stefanie as their guide.
Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience. We'll make sure to pass on your kind words to Stefanie. We hope to have the pleasure of arranging more unforgettable tours for you in the future!
We booked the tour for our small group, and despite the rain it was a nice and very informative tour. Definitely recommended.

Dear traveler, Appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you again. Tina
Our guide, Stefanie A, was the BEST walking tour guide I've EVER had. She is classy, well-spoken and eloquent and a beautiful story teller! I could listen to hear speak all day. I was traveling with a group of 12 students from a community college in Texas and met my German exchange student in Würzburg with his family who speak limited English, but because of her slow, clear and beautiful communication, they were able to understand most of the tour in English! She is so regal and such a joy and I feel so blessed we got to have her twice (part one on our arrival day in Würzburg, and then again on Sunday, December 15th. Thank you for such a wonderful tour, Stefanie, and for helping me pick the perfect wine in the Residenz Gift Shop! I shared it with friends when I got home to Texas and it was delicious!
Thank you very much for your kind words. We are happy you had a wonderful tour with Stefanie in Würzburg and also enjoyed the wine;-)
