Great informative city tour - We had 2 different ladies who gave us information about Leipzig and both were great. You can get on and off as often as you like. Great overview of Leipzig. Definitely recommended. Everyone was very nice and friendly - start opposite the train station next to the park. The buses run every half hour and you can sit up top with the roof open.

Top experience in Leipzig - A wonderful way to get to know Leipzig on your first visit. You can get off at various stations, look around in detail and then continue on with one of the next buses (every 30 minutes). The explanations from the guides on the buses are great and each one is a little bit individual - excellent! We did the tour in combination with the river/canal trip and can only warmly recommend it. There too, the guide told lots of interesting stories that we enjoyed a lot. Exemplary!!!

It's worth it. - Exciting tour, Well organized. Nice and helpful telephone hotline. With live commentators on board without the otherwise loveless tape playback.

Nice info tour - It's really fun to travel through Leipzig in an open-top double-decker bus. There are various stops. You get off wherever you want, take a look at the location if you're interested, and then continue on with the next bus. There's also great information about the city and its history.

Best city tour ever! - My wife and I loved the grand city tour. We particularly enjoyed the explanations from our guide Sabrina throughout the tour. Her explanations were a wonderful mix of knowledge and entertainment. It was just perfect. Thank you Sabrina!

We recommend - Such tours stand or fall primarily on what the guides can do. We have experienced two of them because we chose our own stops and can only praise both of them. Easy to understand, entertaining and interesting - exactly how I want it. All the important sights are visited and commented on with personal recommendations. Great. Thank you for the wonderful experience with you!

DISAPPOINTMENT. - The visit to the city with STADTRUNDFAHRT was quite improved.They do not have headphones in different languages, they only explain it in German. From what looks like they do not expect to receive visitors from other countries, and German is complicated even for those trying to study it. Those who listen also find it difficult because they do not allow to make the slightest comment to your partner.I felt like in a carce.If you do not master the German you better not take it.

Inclusion is different - The tour itself could have been okay. We were traveling with a person in a wheelchair and there is one wheelchair space per bus. Covering the windows of a city tour bus with advertising and thus blocking the view is not a good idea in itself, but if you are mobile, you can somehow look past the advertising. That is not possible with the wheelchair space. The result was that the person in the wheelchair saw almost nothing of the sights. I was a bit stunned by the organizer's ignorance.

No English! - We were extremely disappointed in this experience. The promotion clearly stated that the tour was available in English. However when we checked in, we learned that there is, in fact NO English tour. (Since Covid) So, we tried to follow along, tried Google translate, neither of which were very successful. We had really looked forward to learning more about Leipzig’s role in eliminating the iron curtain….but know little more than when we started. Our time was limited….so couldn’t explore other learning options.
