Quote: The Night Watchman’s walking tour is probably the "in" thing (well, actually the only form of nightlife!) for tourists to do during the evening. Hans Georg Baumgartner, the Night Watchman, leads one-hour English tours daily from Easter to Christmas... Read the full The Night Watchman of Rothenburg ob der Tauber review
