Discover Mainz in a relaxed way by electric bike! When you visit Johannes Gutenberg's home, you cannot miss a city tour. On this extraordinary bike tour you cycle alongside a real "local" through the city of the "Mainzelmännchen" and find out why the city bears this nickname. See the most beautiful sights and get a quick overview of Mainz. Cycle along the Rhine in the direction of Mainz Cathedral and St. Stephen's Church, which is best known for its blue stained glass windows, which are unique in Germany and designed by Marc Chagall. Then on to the southern outskirts of Jakobsberg, where the citadel has been guarding the old town of Mainz for more than 300 years. After a relaxed ascent with the e-bikes, you will not only be rewarded with a great view of Mainz, but also with one of the largest green areas in the city. Take a deep breath and relax! There is of course enough time for photos during the tour.

I was disappointed that despite booing this Tour, I received last minute notice that it had been cancelled due to rain. They did not mention this possibility when I booked it. If they had I would have checked the weather before, and booked something else. As it happened, this left a hole in my schedule that I could not5 fill at the last minute.

Mini hot rods are THE hype in Germany and have taken cities like Hamburg, Frankfurt or Berlin by storm within a very short time. They inspire and provide astonished looks wherever they appear, which also makes them the perfect advertising space for companies. Tourists queue up to experience the sights of Mainz on one of the most unusual city tours. And many Mainz residents have already succumbed to the HOTROD virus. The small, white cars (Mini Hot Rod) are also happy to be booked for company events, birthdays or hen parties and bachelor parties. One of the best activities in Germany now with us in Mainz.

Dear Judith, thanks for your continued high quality tours. I haven't come across anyone in Mainz you can convey art historical facts as entertaining as well as academically ambitious like you. Your ability to speak English is that of a native speaker. Whenever I return to Mainz I'm looking forword to book you as our guide again. Uli (Art Pursuits Abroad, part of Arena Travel)

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.
6. Visit the place of your service
After the end of the Second World War, several divisions of the US Army were permanently stationed in West Germany. At the time of the Cold War, there were constantly more than 200,000 US soldiers. For taking a trip into your past, this tour is just perfect for you! Heidelberg is the ideal starting point for such a trip, as the majority of the US troops were stationed within a radius of just 50 miles around Heidelberg. If you go to "What To Expect" you may find more than 130 relevant sites including the names of barracks and other US facilities. The name of my boutique-style chauffeur and limousine service is "a friend in heidelberg". Many guests of mine told me that this very name is the perfect choice. I was not only born in the famous historical city of Heidelberg and know the area extremely well, but also lived and worked in the US and hence speak fluent English. If you wish I can help you with the organization of your trip ahead of time. You will be chauffeured in a Mercedes S-Class, virtually a private jet for the road, equipped with all state-of-the-art features.
Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea, Parking Fees, Private transportation, Soda/Pop, WiFi on board
Exclusions: Travel exceeding the mileage allotment of 20 kilometers per hour will be charged with 1.00 € per kilometer.

The game itself was really fun. The only hangup we had was it was advertised to be offered in English. The entire game was in German, even after we selected English. The game was still fun, as we used Google Translate for the clues and to navigate the game.
