Wonderful experience. With the beautiful city lit by lights at night, it was a surreal experience. The guide was animated and made history come alive for us.
Not what we expected.

We were expecting a quirky tour with spooky anecdotes. Our guide focused primarily on architecture so we were disappointed.
Highly recommend

Great experience. Kids friendly tour. History lessons can be enjoyable. I don’t speak or understand much German but it was explained in such a way that I was able to understand and enjoy. The guide has unique ability to bring history in front of you by storytelling in interactive way.
