5.00We had an entertaining, very interesting guided tour with Tom Ahlgrim and learned a lot about the history of Braunschweig in a great way. Tom has always responded to our questions and requests and has taken particular care of the welfare of our participants who were not so good on foot. For us, a very nice tune-up for a successful weekend in Braunschweig. Tom, thank you very much from all the participants for this. We can only recommend this tour to everyone.
Amazing tour and tour guide!
