It was not so good because we couldn’t understand our tour guide. We were the only English-speaking family in the tour. All others were Chinese. The guide could not express herself in English. She spent most of the time explaining the Asian tourists in their own language. Other than that, the German town that we visited was great.

We were not satisfied. The guide didn't interact much and didn't make any commentary as to the background of the places we went to. pretty much on our own and he just drove us there and back. our group also thought that the driver was sleepy to and from Leavenworth. so, most of the group passengers in the front stayed awake just so we are all safe.

It was good seeing the fall and the town. However the vehicle which we traveled in was very small, uncomfortable and unclean.
