Can anyone recommend a private guide in the area of the Odenvald (Bavaria)?

I am looking for someone who can speak English and could guide me for one day in the area (particularly in the town of Amorbach).

Kind regards!

Welcome to Fodors. What are looking for exactly . . . some sort of actual tour guide, or just a local driver? AFAIK Amorbach is just a small town - village really - so not sure what sort of guide might be needed.

Hey, Janis!

I am looking for someone who could walk around town taking us inside the main spots (the Abbey church, St.Gangolf church, Templerhaus, Amorsbrunn chapel) and providing historical facts and explanations in English. I am aware that, in some places (for instance, the Green Hall and Library in the Abbey), one can only enter if joined by an actual tour guide. So, I am expecting to find someone for this sort of activity.

I have already tried contacting the local tourism office, but they only offered a visit to the Abbey church in English (all other spots would be available with a German-speaking guide). This does not meet our needs...

It is a very small place -- What you are seeking may not exist. I doubt there is much call for personal guides around the town. Out of curiosity I checked out the Tours by Locals website which can fine guides almost anywhere and they didn't list anyone.

I honestly don't think you'd need someone to walk you around . . .

Hey there! You might want to check out local tour companies or travel forums for recommendations. Also, consider contacting tourist offices in Odenvald for assistance. Good luck with your search!
