A great tour - We booked a Monday morning tour and were the only 2 people on the tour with Sharon. As we were expecting a group, it was a surprise but Sharon provided the full tour and even went over time. Her knowledge and conversation were excellent and we enjoyed seeing some sites not open to the general public visiting Hahndorf. It was very relaxing and informative. Thankyou Sharon!!

A "Must" to truly understand Hahndorf - Wow, Sharon really knows her stuff and the stories she told made you understand that Hahndorf is so much more than a pretty Prussian tourist spot (which it is of course!). If you want to understand the background to this place, you must book yourself on one of her tours.

Highly enjoyable - Did our second tour with this company today. Cannot fault either of the tours or tour guides. Both Sharon and Loraine are extremely knowledgeable and well informed and convey the information in an excellent manner. Friendly, helpful and accommodating. Website is easy to use to book the tours and I cannot recommend them enough. If you are interested in learning about the history of this beautiful town, then this is a must.
