Guided tours for groups
Large and small groups alike can choose from a vast array of bookable guided tours in Bamberg and the surrounding area. Whatever the particular interest, age or preference of your group, you are sure to find the right guided tour here.
There is one more thing you should know, before you get started: Neither we nor our partners lead groups that do not adhere to the basic rules of decency, tolerance, respect and consideration. And we also do not lead groups that are under the influence of alcohol.
********************************
Please note:
The city tours are extremely popular.
Unfortunately, this means that we cannot always meet your desired tour dates at the moment.
Saturdays from September to October are particularly affected.
We ask for your understanding!
Due to the world heritage half marathon on May 4, 2025 there can be no guided city tours on that day.
