Private Tour in Weimar - Just Your Group
A private tour means the tour belongs to you and the people you bring along. Whether you come on your own, as a couple, with family, with friends or as a group, you are among yourselves, and I adapt pace and topics to you. I guide you through Weimar in English or German. Choose your tour and date directly online.
Who the private tour is for
Couples and individuals: explore the city of Classicism at your own pace, without a crowd.
Families: a dedicated family tour with stories for children and teenagers aged 6 to 16, just as exciting for the adults.
Friends, clubs and travel groups: up to 25 people, fixed price per group.
Companies and conference guests: a programme for teams and conferences, payment by invoice, more on the page Conferences and companies.
School groups: school trip tour with curriculum links for grades 7 to 12.
What “private” means to me
The tour is booked exclusively for you: you are among your own companions, with plenty of room for questions and your own wishes.
You pay a fixed price per group, not per person (family tour: per family). The number of people does not change the price, as long as the group fits within the price range.
You choose the date and time yourself. You pay on the day of the tour on site, in cash or by card. No advance payment is needed.
Free cancellation or rescheduling up to 24 hours before the tour starts.
