Our guide, Wolfgang was amazing. He knew all the hidden gems and main points of interest and a had good knowledge of local history, art snd architecture. He kept things relevant and fun. Walking was at a good pace. The only thing not great was the canal cruise. It was a nice rest after walking and enjoyed a snack, but it had an automated narrative on a few do-so buildings and no Huston the neighborhoods we floated by.

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic recommendation! 😊 We're delighted to hear that Peter provided a clear, professional, and gentle guide experience. We'll be sure to pass your kind words to him! 🌟
Our guide was articulate, informative, and just a nice person. Really enjoyed her portion of the tour. The cruise is really boring. Just a canal, not the real river.
