Individual guided city tour, where no questions remained - We 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!

Cool taster course Leipzig. From commerce to university, from Faust to '89 - Our guide Anna Kiss told and showed the different stories of Leipzig in a very lively and interesting way. The tour was very entertaining, even for the 2 teenagers who were also there. Thank you Anna, we would love to come back, then for the musical tour.
