Full description
Experience history, explore the present and imagine the future on a 1.5-hour walking tour of Karlsruhe with an experienced local guide.

With your city guide, you will learn about the fascinating Karl III Wilhelm, Margrave, who founded the city in 1715 and discover what made him decide to build a completely new city and leave his old capital of Durlach behind. Your tour will be spiked with funny anecdotes and personal insider tips from your guide. Please note that Tuesdays will be guided on the theme "Hometown Karlsruhe - Residence of Law".

Wir haben von Herrn Homberg einen sehr ausführlichen Rückblick in Karlsruhes Geschichte bei unserer Stadtführung erhalten. Das er auch nur für uns 2 Personen die Führung durchgeführt hat, erfreute uns sehr. Seine Tipps für die weitere Tagesgestaltung waren super.
