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.

We received a very detailed review of Karlsruhe's history from Mr. Homberg during our city tour. We were very pleased that he only did the tour for the 2 of us. His tips for the rest of the day were great.
