What people are saying about Ulm, Germany

We had the privilege of being able to do our tour with a woman (first name is Hannelore). The lady loves what she does and the city she does it for and you can feel that every second. Whether old town, Münster or modern times. Everything was explained to us enthusiastically and every question answered. I didn't feel that anyone in the group was bored. Any time! Thanks for the nice tour.

Hello, our tour of Ulm was very good. At first the visit to the Minster was to be canceled due to two weddings, but our city guide extended the tour so that we could still go to the Minster after the weddings. The city guide is highly recommended, he knew a lot to tell and so it was never boring. This tour was just right for us, it wasn't too long and we learned a lot.

One of the best city tours we've ever done (worldwide). Anni led us through hundreds of years of Ulm's history with enthusiasm and lots of interesting facts. We took a lot with us. It wasn't boring for a moment and not just a string of dates and names. 100% recommendation. We took your advice on going to the M25 afterwards and will recommend it to others.

The scavenger hunt was great. Everything well organized. Unfortunately, the Christmas market was at Münsterplatz and we had to google the first 2 clues. The Christmas booths were in the way. Nevertheless, the tour is definitely recommended.

It's fun, well explained and easy to find. I can recommend it
