This audio tour (English) was an excellent introduction to Leipzig. We saw a few highlights we wanted to visit more in depth. The tour gave us a “lay of the land.” The tour also pointed out many interesting places that we would have missed otherwise. Great back stories to everything. If you’re curious about what life was like in the former East Germany and how it came down, or just want an overview of Leipzig, this is the perfect tour for you. It’s super easy to use this audio guide even if you’re not online. We highly recommend!

An excellent tour, very informative and easy to set up and use. I struggled to find English speaking tours in Leipzig and one I did book cancelled, so finding this was great. I went on to buy her book.

This was a great tour. Narration and directions were very good. You need good phone service. Ear buds a must. Plan on taking longer than 2 hrs to see, photo, and admire what you're seeing. Did a tour of Stasi Museum, which was right on the tour. It was easy to resume.

This is a very informative and easy-to-use self-guided tour. My husband and I we really enjoyed it. Highly recommend it

Great tour, easy to follow, nice introduction into some of Leipzig's past. I enjoyed the length. Tour is easy to pause if you want to spend more time in one place.

Best audio guide I have ever purchased! The narrator had lived in Leipzig and was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. I love that it was GPS enabled offline. Speaker would not only narrate the tour but tell you where to turn, etc. Make sure to download VoiceApp. Tour will be found there on your smartphone.

Very interesting Audio-guided tour through the center of Leipzig. Interesting insights from a former local. Thank you! :)

Interessante wandeling. We moesten wel erg wennen aan de VoiceMap-app en liepen vooral in het begin vaak de verkeerde kant op. Ook de start was moeilijk te vinden.
