“This was an ok tour. A slow walk through the old streets. Stopped into the cathedral, past the residence and into the garden, then down to the old town. We received a historic framing and saw some little quirky items we would not have noted on our own. We were near other tour groups with guides with amplification and sometimes we got more from listening to these.”

“My son and I spent a day with Rich in the Bamberg countryside and it was more fun than we imagined. We were supposed to go to 5 breweries, but ended up going to ten! Three meals 17 kilometers, and 14 hours later we arrived at our hotel. We drank 15 beers and I was sober, which was shocking. We laughed the entire time and were amazed at the quality and taste of the beer. Now I know why Germans like to hike! If you want to have a once in a lifetime experience, with someone who loves what they do, then hire this wonderful man, who will throw back…”
