My tour was excellent. The Old Town Walking Tour is offered in English and other languages besides German, so there won't be a barrier for tourists from non-German speaking parts of the world. The tour offered me a compelling and enriching perspective of Hannover, and gave me a deep appreciation for the city. Our group's guide was delightful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know more how this lovely city.

Hannover Guided Old Town Walking Tour on Sunday June 02, 2024 with Tamara was an excellent tour to learn about the history of Hannover. Tamara provided a detailed explanation about the past and present history of Hannover old town and its importance in the Lower Saxony area. I learn in the tour that Hannover is a music city and their green areas (park) in the city. In the tour Tamara showed monuments, churches and buildings in old town, in which she explained their history and importance. I highly recommend this tour for everybody that visit Hannover.
