Excellent experience. Organisation highly efficient and effective. The guide, Matej, was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. we had a great time and learnt a lot about the city, its history,monuments, churches and famous related figures including J S Bach, Schiller, Goethe, Schumann and Mendelssohn. We would recommend it wholeheartedly.

Our guide was delightful! Excellent English and a heartfelt tour of his beautiful, historic town. It was a great way to get oriented to Leipzig and start our visit.

This was a perfect tour. It was led by Tom who had extensive knowledge of the history and architecture of this fascinating city centre. We covered all the central landmarks and Tom was a great host who answered all our questions. Recommended without hesitation.

First time using a free walking tour after visiting several European city centres recently and never got round to it. Highly recommend, Sam was brilliant, lots of knowledge, super friendly and great places pointed out/mentioned to revisit for a drink or dinner (we went back to Rathskeller for dinner later that day for dinner and a few beers). Nice pacing, lots of stops & almost completely step free apart from a church or two so largely accessible. Definitely worth if your in Leipzig for a day or three and looking for the core city centre experience.

Amazing tour with Florian! He was very knowledgeable and funny. Felt short because we were never bored. He made me much more interested in the unique history of Leipzig.

Superb tour with Matte - informative, relaxed and lots of fun. Really nice to meet other international visitors to Leipzig too. So much to learn about in this beautiful city and Matte was a perfect guide. Totally recommend.

during a two-hour guided city walk through the city center, we all saw important sights and got interesting information about the city and its past.

Very 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!

impeccable: 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.
