My mistake but booked German speaking tour rather than English which wasn't clear at outset. Must say though that the lady guide from Dortmond/Berlin was fantastic and a credit to the tour!!!!

A very nice and friendly guide. An overall great experience. The tour was supposed to be in German but I do not speak German. So the guide switched to English. Wonderful!
