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.

Don’t miss this walk! - Really enjoyed our walking tour today with Sharon. There’s nothing quite as good as hearing about a place from a local who is passionate & knowledge about her town & it’s fascinating history. Especially loved being able to go inside the old Lutheran church & seeing an original wood “house” 1839 where the family lived under the same roof as the dairy cows. Really worth doing.

WALKING TOUR OF HAHNDORF - A VERY SPECIAL EXPERIENCE - We received a gift voucher for the tour and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Our guide Sharon was very friendly and so knowledgable about the history of Hahndorf. As a local resident she also gave us lots of information about current day businesses, making suggestions about other places we could visit while we were in the town. After previously visiting just the main street, it was great to look deeper into how the town has progressed over the years. We would recommend the Walking Tours to others.
