Ula was lovely. She knew her information very well and was knowledgeable about the town, its origins, and the historical architecture. It gave us a good orientation of the town and areas of the island we may not have seen, even including the great Main Street with all its boutiques and cafes. At times she struggled a bit with English, but for the most part we understood everything. The tour can run long, so be careful with timing your next event!
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience. We're delighted you enjoyed our tour.
Kirsten was a wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable guide for our very complete walking tour through the historic and charming island of Lindau. So much rich history and information was provided during this easy, nearly 2 hour stroll. Had such a great understanding of the creation and early times of the area thanks to Kirsten. Highly recommended!
