Highlights

This tour takes you as close as possible to the Man of The Millennium, Johannes Gutenberg. You will see an original Gutenberg Bible from the 1450s - one of the most famous books in the world - and a live printing demonstration showing you how it was printed. Afterwards, we will visit some of the important places associated with the life of the man responsible for starting the Printing Revolution and ushering in the modern era.
