We liked it very much!!

The tourist guide was very nice and did her "thing" great. Since we were traveling in the group only as a family (no other visitors) we could make the tour very individual and she has responded to our requests and questions. Not the typical city tour. Very relaxed and not boring !! Was very interesting. The beer tasting was delicious and she could tell us a lot about the history and beer production. We were able to implement the tips she gave us for the afternoon session. Thank you Mrs. Maaß !! again and again.....

The tour was good.

The tour was good, but before I realized that I had the right group, it took a while. My tour guide was a lady around 50. She did great. Although I am the Netherlands, and stood among Germans, I was able to follow pretty well. Until she asked questions. Then I quit ...

Wir haben die Führung mit dem Matthias gemacht. Sehr kurzweilig, nett und kompetent. Hat Spaß gemacht. An der Führung haben 25 Personen teilgenommen. Die letzte Station auf der Tour war vorm Schlenkerla. Da waren sehr viele lustige Personen auf der Straße und es war so laut, dass man den Matthias kaum verstanden hat.
