Leipzig wth Patrick McAteer
Martin R,,Sep 20, 2025

5.00Patrick was exactly what we wanted. Our personal concierge. Brief history to modern day life in Leipzig. Must see attractions and local gems not regularly seen by tourists. Took us to a historical restaurant (Auerbach Keller) in a basement that was immaculate with wonderful local cuisine. Took us to the quaint museum ( Robert Capa) and location where the last American soldier was killed in WWII. He was so helpful getting us from the train station to our hotel and assisted with my wife's luggage the entire way. He was a blessing. Our hope is to see him again. If not in Leipzig but eternally with Jesus.
A no- show guide

1.00Our Lokafy guide didn't show up. I was given a Google maps link to a Platz, which turned out to be rather large, and only an email address for the guide, no phone number. I sent hime three emails, and finally contacted the company. Fortunately they promptly responded saying they would contact the guide, but then a few minutes later informed me they couldn't reach him either. We gave up after waiting more rhan 20 minutes. The company has promised a refund in 3 to 5 days hopefully they'll follow through. I won't book a Lokafy tour again.

1.00The local cancelled less than 12 hrs before the tour and our arrival. Leaving us no recourse. Don’t trust TripAdvisor tours as there is no way to contact tor seek help. This was my first experience and very negative.
Great walk & tour from David surrounding music & history

5.00Great tour. Came to Leipzig with little understanding, left with music in my ears - Bach, Mendelssohn, Wagner. Good walk through city park, central district, Leipzig Uni. Learned about merchant influence, Stasi, protests in 68 & 93, & of course music
The tour with the local Jörg ...

5.00...was as promised - individual, very interesting and informative. In an entertaining way he responded to our wishes, the information was sound, to show us another sight, he even exceeded the agreed time by a few minutes. The settlement via Lokafy was straightforward, reliable and very fast. Andrea and Uwe from Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler

5.00Omar was a delightful tour guide, he gave us a great overview of Leipzig, I appreciate the area a lot more now and would love to return. We tried 2 brewpubs he recommended: Ohne Bedenken for Gose beer, and Brauhaus an der Thomaskirche, both served good beer; and ate dinner at Auerbachskeller (a historic restaurant). The Sauerbraten was delicious! Thank you Omar!
