Guides such as Octavia, Regina, Heike, and Florian have led lively tours, though bilingual groups may hear a shorter English explanation.

“My tour was excellent. The Old Town Walking Tour is offered in English and other languages besides German, so there won't be a barrier for tourists from non-German speaking parts of the world. The tour offered me a compelling and enriching perspective of Hannover, and gave me a deep appreciation for the city. Our group's guide was delightful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know more how this lovely city.”
