*BEFORE BOOKING PLEASE CONTACT ME TO CHECK MY AVAILABILITY* You've probably already been on a beer tour or two in cities like Munich or Prague. Now it's time to try a beer tour that takes you out into the countryside where nearly every pathway leads to a brewery. The countryside that I'm referring to is the Franconian Switzerland region near Nuremberg. It is world famous for its high density of traditional breweries. Case in point: in Germany there are 1, 284 breweries and more than half of them (618) brew their beer in Bavaria and 201 of them in Upper Franconia. And. . . 73 of the 201 Upper Franconian breweries are located in the Franconian Switzerland region which makes it the largest concentration of breweries in the world. But wait, it gets better. . . according to the Guinness Book of Records, the small village of Aufsess in Franconian Switzerland, as measured by its number of inhabitants (1, 400), has the highest brewery density (four breweries) in the entire world!

*BEFORE BOOKING PLEASE CONTACT ME TO CHECK MY AVAILABILITY* I'm Kevin and you could say that I'm a cultural interpreter, not a teacher (passing on knowledge) or a sightseeing guide (pointing things out). I'm more like a reverse anthropologist: a local expert insider explaining and sharing Rothenburg's culture and history with my inquisitive customers. I lead exploratory walks and unscripted cultural experiences. Information is presented in a way that allows my guests to make their own mental connections because, after all, a tour with just interesting information is infotainment. The most memorable tours are the ones that make people think and feel. Bamberg is located in Upper Franconia and is approx. 1 hour drive from Nuremberg. Its historic city center has been a listed UNESCO world heritage site since 1993. This makes Bamberg one of just twelve sites in Germany and one of the 400 sites worldwide that have been recognized in this manner.

The Fünf Seidla Steig is a great hike that passes five small breweries on its route along with some fantastic Franconian scenery. This is a chance to step back in time and experience life from another era along with sampling Franconian food delicacies and some of the best beer in all of Bavaria.
