This initiative is not only a step for the prospective tour guide, but also an answer to the growing demand for tours in this historically important city.

Worms is known for its cultural treasures and architectural highlights. The city has a long, multifaceted story that received another boost in 2021 through its award as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for Jewish sites. The associated popularity attracts thousands of visitors every year who use the range of interesting guest guides to learn more about the city.

In order to do justice to the increasing interest, the Tourist Information Worms in cooperation with the Worms Guide (IWG) and the VHS Worms have developed a qualified training program. The course will begin and extend over a period of six months on Wednesday, October 2. The candidates will usually train all day from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and on set Saturdays.
