Alexandra provided a memorable experience that was well organized and full of historical context. We highly recommend!
We went with Alexandra this morning and had a wonderful day wandering and learning quite a bit about Regensburg. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you Alexandra and Olga
We spent a wonderful day walking the city with our tour guide Olga. She was very nice and extremely informative . She shared the history of the city, local culture. We also learned about local food & beer.
We had a fantastic time with Alexandra on this tour. She is a very knowledgeable guide and a lovely person. She picked us up at the cruise dock, and we spent three hours walking through the beautiful Old Town, learning about the city through people’s stories, art, and food. We saw and learned so much more than we would have on a standard cruise city tour. Five stars!
We are two couples in our 70s who visited Regensburg as part of a Viking River Cruise. We enjoy history and discovering new places, and since Regensburg appeared to be such a historic city with stunning architecture, we decided to book a private tour in addition to the city walk offered by Viking. We contacted Olga directly through her website yourjewishheritageguide.com. She was very responsive and created a custom itinerary tailored to our interests. The tour was terrific—we learned so much and visited many different places. By the end, we truly felt that we had gotten to know Regensburg. Highly recommended.
Olga’s tours are excellent. She has researched every detail of her walking tours. She makes the tours interesting and discusses all phases of Regensburg through different walks.
Olga was fantastic. 3.5 hours of hidden history around Regensburg. Olga is fluent in English and extremely knowledgeable. I had no idea of the depth of the history here. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Regensburg. It is well worth the time!
Alexandra eas filled with information, funny and happy to be flexible. We had told her that we had a short tour from our cruise and she was more than happy to ask us if we had heard about the things she was telling us and if we had, she pivoted to something else. We learned so much more than we ever expected to about Regensburg and had bought yummy sausage to top it off. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want to get a sense of the whole city and not just the touristy area
Alexandra was incredibly informative, funny and flexible. We had seen some of the standard sites in Regensburg already and she was able to pivot to show us other things and give us in depth information that we never expected.
Alexandra was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and made Regensberg come alive with the history and personalities that have shaped the area. Highly recommend.
