Frequently asked questions

Does this tour include the climb up to Veste Oberhaus?

Yes, we walk up from the old town to Veste Oberhaus on foot. The path is steep in places, so sturdy shoes are a good idea. If you would rather skip the climb, just let your guide know before the tour starts.

How many people is this tour suited to?

The Highlights Tour works well for individuals and couples as well as for groups. For larger groups, we agree the best route through the cathedral and old town in advance so everyone can follow comfortably.

What happens in bad weather?

The tour runs in almost any weather, since much of it takes place outdoors in the old town. The cathedral offers shelter from rain along the way. In extreme conditions, we will be in touch to agree on the best plan.
