Entertaining guided tours, fascinating museum tours, and travel guides—with heart and mind.

The Lake Constance region is rich in history, diverse culture, and impressive reminders of times gone by. Between medieval towns, baroque churches, and historic trade routes, a cultural heritage unfolds that extends far beyond the shores of the lake. Visitors here encounter history at every turn – and have the opportunity to experience it in all its facets, vividly and up close.

Highlights of the largest city on Lake Constance
Would you like to take a closer look at the landmarks of the city of Constance? Together we will discover the highlights from Roman times, the Middle Ages, and modern times!

The Council of Constance – a world event of the Middle Ages
Over 600 years ago, the city of Constance was the center of Europe: secular and ecclesiastical dignitaries came to Lake Constance to solve the biggest problem of the time: the schism in the Catholic Church – three popes claimed to be the true head of the Catholic Church! Experience the historical significance of the events that took place between 1414 and 1418 on this city tour!

Houses and house signs – searching for traces in late medieval Constance
The undestroyed old town of Constance reveals fascinating evidence of times gone by: half-timbered houses, house signs, and house names tell of everyday life and big dreams! Together we will embark on a journey back in time to the Middle Ages!
