The meeting point was easy to reach, the briefing was short and good and then it started. We did the tour on Sundays when there was less traffic in the city so we had a lot of fun driving the Trabi. Our guide entertained and informed us very well and a driver change is also possible at the two stopovers. Have fun!

We learned the most important things with knowledge, wit and humor and the speaker was very entertaining and personable. I would book again!

Great experience, the cars are well kept and the tour of the city was fun and informative. Highly recommended!

A lot of good information in the time given. Knowledgeable guide with an answer to every question.

Schöne Stadtrundfahrt mit einem richtigen Menschen am Mikrophon, kein Tonband.
