A very informative tour; the references and comparisons with Germany were particularly good. This guide comes highly recommended. The delay of 40 minutes at the beginning was not so good, but this was not due to the leader but to the central organization

Very knowledgeable city guide, great general knowledge and excellent knowledge of history, very good knowledge of German
