What To Expect
Old Town of Regensburg with Stadtamhof - Unesco World Heritage
Regensburg s Old Town is a World Heritage Site. It is the largest medieval town north of the Alps and beautifully preserved with over 1500 buildings that form this breathtaking cityscape. In the center of this picturesque town is the Regensburger Dom, the Grand Cathedral that stands as a classic example of bavarian gothic architecture. The Cathedral is home to Die Regensburger Domspatzen ”The Regensburg Cathedral Sparrows”, a world renown liturgical boychoir whose most notable conductor was Georg Ratzinger, the old brother of Pope Benedict XVI Near the train station, a few minutes from the tour starting point, we will walk past Schloss Thurn und Taxis, a city palace that originally served as the 13th century abbey church of St. Emmeram before it was converted into a city palace. The Thurn und Taxis palace is still in the hands of this powerful ancient german family to this day, one of the very few surviving examples of palaces still in use by the nobility in germany. From there we will walk straight into the old city, that offers a great photo opportunity, walking through the ancient alleyways on our way to the ancient town hall, the cathedral and the old stone bridge, stopping by souvenir shops and a lot of cozy restaurants along the way. Admiring the scenery. The end of this tour will be at the central station

3.00Carlos has a lot of knowledge about Regensburg but his delivery was not very engaging. He seemed to have a memorized script to go through that didn't allow for questions or comments.
Great guide

5.00Gerda was very informative, pointing out not only the highlights, but relating small stories that added color to the walk about. Her pace was perfect, neither rushed nor slow.
Outstanding private tour of Regensburg!

Great Regansburg Tour

5.00Our tour guide provided a Nice explanation of Regansburg. She told us about the significant history from the Roman times up to today. We visited several cafe/shops, churches, the college and mentioned the university’s excitement to “bring new life to Regansburg”. City Hall has a history. Oh how I can relate to this part of the tour — especially working for a US City Hall! Excited to hear the Mayor performs marriages. Since this was a personal tour she provided visits to “in home” chapels; which was a great surprise. Also learned about Danube River’s importance for trade and the first stone bridge allowing crossing year round. Enjoyed our two hour+ tour with Gerda-Maria!
easy to recommend,no if and but

5.00We also had the possibility with our group of a guided tour of Regensburg (mediated by our shipping company VIVA Cruises), our guide was just great, unfortunately the name was omitted.We were introduced to secrets and history of Regensburg, whereby also the one or the other criminal anecdote could be experienced, as well as we were led into the individual alleys which are still as present in their nature as in the Middle Ages, they are now well paved, also very much historical was conveyed what happened in a very pleasant way. A very clear recommendation for interested parties to book through the organizer if possible.
This medieval city raised havoc on Jews from Middle Ages thru WWII.

4.00Regensburg was founded as an imperial Roman fort. As part of the Holy Roman Empire, it housed the Perpetual Diet of Regensburg (Reichstag) from 1663-1806. The Stone Bridge spanning the Danube River (built around 1140) opened up trade routes between Venice and the North. The Old City Gate is at one end of this bridge. Peter the Hermit led a mob of 1st Crusaders to force mass conversion of Jews. Those who resisted were killed. Those who fled, later returned and lived in relative peace until Nov. 9, 1938 (Kristallnacht) when the Synagogue, homes and stores were destroyed and 220 Jews were arrested and deported to Dachau. Note that Regensburg, like most communities in Europe, has numerous Stumbling Stones in its streets.
A fascinating city with a history from AD90

5.00Great tour with Daniella! We would have liked to have seen more but we covered a good deal in the two hours we had. We could tell Daniella loves her adopted city and that she has a passion for its history. It was well worth the short stop we had between our travels between Karlovy Vary and Salzburg.

5.00Daniela was a super guide. She is quite knowledgeable about the history of Regensburg and provided us with many fascinating facts and entertaining anecdotes. We would gladly book a tour with her again and she convinced us that we need to return to Regensburg for the Christmas market.
