Ms. Tröster gave us a great tour and inspired us with her enthusiasm. We were able to learn a lot in a very short time (we were 45 minutes late) and she was super flexible in organizing the tour since we were unfortunately late. I would recommend it 100%!

The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the local area and its history. They were able to answer all of my questions in a clear and concise way. If I could leave 100 start, I would! Kudos to the guide and tour operator!
