Excellent historic tour of old town Leipzig - Anna was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide on our tour around the old town in Leipzig. She shared interesting historical information about the city, and details, such as where to see gold bricks in the cobblestones to commemorate those who died in the war, the statues, images in the St Thomas church, and faces on the facades of buildings and their meanings. We were able to see buildings that survived during the war and ways to determine if they were rebuilds. Anna also showed us photos of areas from the past as she explained many interesting details. If you wish to learn about the history and buildings of Leipzig, I highly recommend this tour. Note: we booked the English tour and Anna shared that she is a local and a history teacher too! Thank you so much, Anna!

Private Old Town Tour with Dirk - Dirk is an excellent guide. He imparted a lot of knowledge to us and cleared up some errors about Leipzig. I have participated in some guided tours of the city, but the one with Dirk was really the best, most informative and fun.

sunny tour with exciting stories - Despite wet cold November weather, Dirk offered us a sunny tour with exciting stories. As a Leipziger he was well informed about the city and could also give us some useful gastronomic tips on the way.
