Hannover guided city walk through WWII recovery, medieval half-timbered streets, New Town Hall, Market Church, Leineschloss and Opera Theater.

“The tour was great. I was 1 of 2 people who were a part of the English tour, the other 10 or so people had the tour in German. The guide did a great job explaining in German and then before we left or as we walked to our next destination she summarize what she said in English for us. Our guide was very eager to answer questions and provide feedback on other activities to do. The starting point was easy to find and the end point was in the city center allowing easy access to other activities. Overall, would definetly recommend.”
