What people are saying about Leipzig

Die Führung wurde durch einen sympathischen Guide durchgeführt. Man bekommt einen Film zu sehen und hat Einblicke in die Montage und dem Rohbau. Das Gebäude ist ein echtes Highlight, ich würde mit meinen Kindern gerne nochmal kommen.

The walking tour captured the most important historical aspects of Leipzig. It was interesting, the right length / time to get a good overview for further exploration, and the guide was great and entertaining!

I don't think, well he said it himself - I am not Saxon - he was real. Try to get him but I really doubt it and he can speak English well enough for me to get what I want.

It was a very nice day at Belantis. The Halloween special was created with a lot of love and imagination. We will be back definitely!

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