Overall rating

An entertaining walk through Rostock in the evening with a cheerful "executioner". Anecdotes, historical landmarks, drama, a long walk with a very attentive guide, a bit of everything without being overwhelming. We particularly recommend combining it with a tour of the old town with a certified city guide on another day. It complements each other perfectly.

My son and I went on the tour. The executioner Tobias 😄 was totally authentic in his role, was able to convey a lot of interesting information about his time and role, answered questions and was always nice. I'd do it again anytime! Highly recommended!!!

We (my mother and I) went on this lovely tour last night. The executioner we trust tells scary stories in a very vivid way. We had fun and learned a little too. Thank you very much

It was very entertaining, fun and interesting. Our executioner was also very funny and gave us a great time! The tour is highly recommended!

In addition to historical facts, the tour was based on illustrated anecdotes
