This city tour is highly recommended. Our guide Bernhard gave us deep historical insights into the city's development. He passionately explained to us the architectural styles that have developed over the centuries. It was a very informative and passionately led city tour that was never boring.

5 out of 5 stars

Jochen was well informed and shared hilarious tall tales about some of the sites (and told us when they were tall tales). One drawback for visitors who don’t speak German is that this tour and all others are in German.

5 out of 5 stars

The directions were excellent. It would be nice if there were some restaurant suggestions, as many are closed at lunchtime.
