5.00Mrs König's guided tour of the old town of Mainz was outstanding. Her vivid stories and good humor brought us closer to Mainz and we actually remembered a lot:) She combines down-to-earthness and extensive knowledge in a good way. Our best guide during our trip.

5.00Judith is well informed about Mainz and a great communicator. Among the five private guides that we hired to improve our travel European travel experience during our recent lengthy vacation, she was the best. She achieved a very good balance between historical data and interesting anecdotes. She is an excellent story teller who obviously enjoys her profession, her city and her fellow Mainz residents. She is enthusiastic, flexible and engaging.

5.00We had the pleasure of taking a guided tour of Mainz Cathedral with Judith, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Judith’s deep knowledge of the cathedral’s history and art made the tour incredibly engaging and insightful. She brought the stories behind the stunning architecture and artwork to life, making us appreciate the significance of every detail. Her passion for the subject was evident, and she answered all our questions with enthusiasm and expertise. We left the tour with a much deeper understanding and appreciation of Old Mainz and Mainz Cathedral, thanks to Judith's exceptional guidance. I love the hat I bought from the hat shop you took us to. Thank you. Highly recommended!
