For an unplanned visit, I had to spontaneously find the best way to spend the day. The weather was foggy and cold, so I opted for a 13-stop hop-on-off bus ticket. The best decision! I learned so much about Leipzig, history, curiosities, news. The guide was in a good mood, so you could forget about the bad weather. I spent most of my time at the Völkerschlachtdenkmal and thanks again to the bus driver who picked me up and stopped especially for me! I will definitely use this offer again on my next visit to get to know Leipzig even better. I have already recommended this sightseeing tour to my friends. However, I will book the ticket one day before my visit to Leipzig, because I assume that the number of guests will increase in the summer. Really great offer, you can use it all day and discover a lot of Leipzig's sights!

We got a lot of information, even though I had already done the tour in the summer, there was still a lot of new information. The mulled wine was delicious 😋

We had a great guide on the tour. He provided us with blankets, pillows, mulled wine, tea and biscuits, so that this tour can also be done in winter.

Great trip, could have been longer. Plenty of good mulled wine.

Great trip, highly recommended! Highly recommended!
