My wife and I spent three hours with Susan walking through Mainz. This was our first day of a month long Europe trip and Susan started it off very nicely. Her knowledge of the area and its history made the time well spent. We would encourage anyone coming to Mainz to contact Susna and take a tour with her. More

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour with Susan. We had been studying Roman history with our children and it was neat to see first hand some of the things that we had studies about. Susan was great with our 6 children and they loved her. We will definately look her up again if we are in Germany again. More

We did this tour with Susan when we had a 24 hour layover at Frankfurt. Definitely worth it. Highly recommend this! More

We had an 8 hour stop over from Canada to South Africa at the Frankfurt airport. A good time to stretch our legs and take in a snippet of Germany. We booked a 2 hour tour with Susan and saw many things in Mainz we never would have on our own. Susan knows the history and the art and brough... More

I was stuck for an extra day in Mainz Germany for Business. I looked online for things to do. Finally I stumbled on the trip advisor suggestions and a link for Susan. I was unsure about a "private" tour with someone I had not met but I wanted to make the most of the day. After meeting at the train... More

Susan's English-language walking tour of Mainz was one of the highlights of our trip. She met us in our hotel foyer and had planned an interesting route to take us past the historical and cultural highlights of this beautiful city, including St Stephan's Church with its Chagall windows, Roman relics and the ancient Mainz cathedral, finishing up in the Christmas...

We visited Germany in September 2011 and our first three days were spent in Mainz. We studied Germany guide books before our trip but have always felt a knowledgable tour guide provides the best information about an area . We found Susan and she went out of her way to accomodate our schedule, met us at our hotel, and walked... More

I try to find a good walking tour whenever I find myself in a new place. There is no better way of getting the feel of a town in a short time - but the quality of the guide is the no.1 factor in such a tour. I recently had a morning-to- evening layover in Frankfurt. Dismayed at the prospect,... More

We did the Walking Tour of Mainz with Susan in late August 2011, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. As the two of us were taking a private tour, Susan tailored the walk to our interests. Susan made sure we saw the key sights ( Dom, Saturday market, Roman Amphitheatre, Chagall windows, etc) but made sure we also explored other churches,... More
