I was traveling with my two children (8.12 years) and had ordered the scavenger hunt to take home in advance. (You should do this about 1 week before the start of your vacation) The individual puzzles are easy to solve and well suited for children up to 12 years of age. The individual paths are short and/or can be interrupted at any time. The additional information was great for me as an adult - my kids were less interested in it. A good day is Tuesday, then it's market day

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!

A great idea to get to know the city of Leipzig at your own pace. With lots of tips that you wouldn't otherwise pay attention to. Great idea.

Guide (Tom) very competent and friendly and attentive to our wishes

Excellent tour and Tourguide. Great way to get to know Leipzig
