★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 32 reviews · 2 hours · from $280

A 2-hour private walking tour of Trier, Germany, with Porta Nigra, Roman sites, the House of the Three Magi, Karl Marx, and UNESCO.

“Our family needed to cancel our tour outside of the refund window. No problem. We understood the terms, and simply wanted to ensure the guide was notified and still paid. The day of the tour, our guide called wondering where we were, because no one notified them. I spent a great deal of time with customer service to clarify, all for a tour I wasn’t even on. I requested a discount code for the inconvenience. GYG refused. I hope the guide was at least compensated, as we did pay in full. Please know the city of Trier offers daily walking tours from city center for 15€ per person. Cheers &…”
