    We wouldn't have known that Leipzig has so much to show if we hadn't taken this tour. Relaxing, entertaining, and highly recommended! In short, a great tour for both adults and kids! PS: Kudos to Captain Tom for his great jokes and super vibe, really well done! Thanks for the wonderful trip! :)

    I learned a lot about Leipzig and saw some places I hadn't known about before. It was just fun traveling by water.
