Fantastic tour with Anand – highly recommended! - The tour with Anand was just great! He showed us not only the most important sights, but also hidden places that you would never find on your own. Particularly impressive were the extensive historical backgrounds, which he conveyed in an exciting and understandable way. In addition, there were nice conversations that made the tour very personal and enjoyable. As an additional highlight, there were delicious cookies – a great gesture! I can fully recommend this tour. If you are looking for a mixture of culture, insider knowledge and warm accompaniment, Anand is the place to be.
