The night watchman spoke clearly and told us a lot of interesting things from "his time" in Bremen. He led us from the town hall to the cathedral, to the Weser where the harbor used to be, through Bötcherstrasse and into the Schnoor. It was enough to show the tickets on the phone in the GetYourGiide app. Printing was not necessary.

During the tour you got a lot of interesting information. By involving the group members, everything was explained very clearly by the guide. There was both historical and current information.

Das war eine wirklich schöne Führung & sehr netter Nachtwächter Nur zu empfehlen

very well done guided tour through the old town of Bremen
