Paul was amazing. Great knowledge of Residenz and people that lived there. Good information on damage during WWII, removal of art and restoration of the structure. Since he is also a studied artist he could relate the art we saw to history and historical events. I will request Paul Riedel for future Bayern trips……“.Hands down“

it was a lovely concert in a fabulous place, we all enjoyed it, really recommend!

It was awesome. Best experience attending this concert
