We enjoyed a very pleasant two hours with our excellent tour guide. She told us lots of interesting historical facts about Leipzig and she gave us a clear picture of the lives of its past and present inhabitants. Highly recommended.

Loved to hear about the layers of history and learned so much about the history of Leipzig and the buildings :) I should have taken this tour on my first visit to Leipzig, not waited to my third. Absolutely recommend it!

Our guide was very knowledgeable, presented not only historical facts but also many ancillary tidbits that might not easily be found. He was witty and readily answered all questions even though he was not a native of Leipzig.
