Regensburg Private Walking Tour in English with a Licensed Guide

Explore Regensburg with me on a private walking tour designed around your interests and curiosity. Rather than simply ticking off the city’s sights, we’ll walk, talk, and discover the stories that make Regensburg special. We’ll explore the historic Old Town, see Regensburg Cathedral, cross the medieval Stone Bridge, and visit the Old Town Hall. Along the way, I’ll share stories about Roman Regensburg, medieval merchants and emperors, the city’s Jewish and Christian communities, and what everyday life was really like. Because this is your private tour, there is plenty of time for questions, spontaneous detours, and the places that catch your eye. I’m happy to adjust the pace or focus on the parts of Regensburg that interest you most. I’ll also share my personal recommendations for where to enjoy a great coffee, traditional Bavarian food, or a local beer. To complete the experience, we’ll stop for a small local treat and try one of Regensburg’s traditional specialties.
