Ms. Rupp led the tour (Old Town and Semperoper) in great detail and with a sense of humor. She answered our questions, and we would love to book another tour with her. M&W.J

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job explaining everything, including with pictures, but sometimes she spoke too quietly, so we’d give it a solid “4” but not a “5” (very good). We gained a wonderful insight into the history of the Semo Opera; the Old Town tour didn’t offer us any new insights, since we had already seen everything ourselves, including the wonderful art gallery and porcelain exhibition, as well as the tour of the Frauenkirche.

The opportunity to visit the Semperoper Ozu. What I DIDN'T like: The tour guide didn't have enough knowledge of history and art history. The tour was superficial; I would have expected an expert.
