Great tour through the historic city center, a night watchman who was able to convey a lot of information through exciting stories. The planned 90 minutes turned into 120 minutes, but it wasn't boring for a moment.

The guide, Brother Peter, was amazing! With so much love and joy and knowledge, but still not just rattling off dry information, it was simply an experience! Absolutely great! 🫶🏼

The tour was very interesting and informative, however the voucher for a cup of coffee was not handed out

Everything is explained very clearly, pleasant loud voice! Everything is top notch!!!!!

Very good, the guide was really funny and explained and told everything well.
