5.00We booked a two-hour private tour of Leipzig and were welcomed at Augustusplatz by Marius. We decided to explore the inner ring of the old town with him and learned a lot of interesting facts. From the university grounds with their architectural highlights to the historic and historic squares with the St. Thomas and St. Nicholas Churches - Marius has brought us closer to his beloved hometown with his professional, charming and smart manner. We also particularly liked the stories about Leipzig, the trade fair city, with its trading houses, which today connect the entire city centre as numerous passages. The markets and some “secret” corners were also part of the tour and so the tour ended at Europe’s oldest coffee house “Zum Coffe Baum”. A visit here is also worthwhile because of the lovingly designed small coffee museum. Thanks again to Marius for this wonderful tour and all the best for you!

5.00Very informative and entertaining tour of the center of Leipzig. Our guide Tom has a very profound knowledge of the history of Leipzig and knew how to convey this very captivatingly. We were particularly impressed by his very personal family history of his parents / grandparents. Then suddenly history is perceived very differently. A great 2-hour experience that we will tell you about for a long time to come!
very competent & loving

5.00impeccable: very competent & gracious Florian seemed to have all the time in the world, had a deep structure in cultural and political history and a lot of self-irony. In the past, he would have been talked about as a personality: patient, smart and cool.
