Wonderful walking tour - Decided to go on this walking tour with my family when we were visiting Leipzig. Our guide was really friendly and showed us so many interesting buildings and told us so many things. I loved it, it was such a wonderful experience. If you really want to know the city better this is definitely for you.

an immersive experience as to the city and the Festival that had drawn me to it. - Stayed Capri by Fraser. Great location, modern comfortable, stylish and functionable decor and furnishings. Great breakfast, location and general ambience.
There for the annual Bach Festival. Multiple interesting venues, performers and performances. Despite size of the Festival, retained a non-commercial character while operating very smoothly.

Touring Leipzig on a cold, rainy day. - Friday, 8 Nov, we took the Viator “Leipzig Private Walking Tour”. Our guide was Christine. We threw her a curve by announcing at the start that we were musicians and wanted to see everything related in Leipzig. I think she had planned the tour to show us the role Leipzig played in the revolution to bring down the wall and unite the two Germanies that occurred in the eighties. This was reasonable since Saturday, 9 Nov, was the thirtieth anniversary of the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. Although we threw her a curve, she gamely tried to do both. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, and the day became rawer and colder as time went on and eventually it rained. Another complication was that it was impossible to cover all this in a two-hour tour. Christine did go over time but had another tour scheduled an hour after ours was scheduled to end. It should be noted that the Leipzig Tourist Information Office has a self-guided music tour and a self-guided revolution tour with guideposts all over town. Nevertheless, she at least showed us where a lot of things were which we could return to at another time. You can’t expect much more from a two-hour tour.
