Stuttgart is more than just automotive factories and museums. There is a lot of complex history in the city that should be explored. Our walking guide ; Pouya did a fantastic job ; he was well prepared, very knowledgeable, and very accommodating to our specific needs for the day.
Our guide Laura was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the places she took us. She even took the time to show old pictures of what some of the buildings looked like before they were rebuilt. She took us off the beaten path of normal tourist places and made the tour so much fun!!! If you have a chance ask for her and you won't be disappointed!
Francisco was our guide, he met us at our hotel. Showed us how to get a ticket for the tram. Once back in the city centre, he has an excellent knowledge of the city and history. Show us plenty of sites and did not rush through anything. At the end of our tour he explained which tram to catch back to our hotel, gave us recommendations of other places to go during the rest of our day. Even gave a small gift, 5 star service from a lovely gentleman.
Beautiful tour of the city made with Laura our nice friendly guide available and prepared to answer all our questions. Despite it being Sunday and therefore everything closed took us to places perhaps unknown even to the inhabitants of Stuttgart. Advice!
My husband and I enjoyed Stuttgart. Our guide, Francisco had great communication prior to our arrival in Stuttgart and met us at our hotel at the appointed time. He had a plan for visiting the city and provided a great overview as well as recommendations for restaurants (which were excellent) and suggested the Mercedes Benz museum.
I had an ankle injury and the guide accommodated me by slowing down and finding places to rest Pua was very insightful and gave us many pictures about the history
Excellent experience. Beautiful discoveries Our guide made us discover places we didn't know
My family and I had an amazing time in Stuggart. Our tour guide was excellent. Upon booking the tour, our guide reached out to us and help coordinate a meetup place that was convenient to where we were staying. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history. He was also able to describe and point out things that my kids found very interesting. I would highly recommend the walking tour of Stuttgart, especially if you can get as good as guide as we had.
All right. Excellent. The guide very well prepared. I had a very good level of English and a lot of knowledge of the city:)
Pouya was a good guide. Knowledgeable about Stuttgart’s history and took us to all the key historic places to visit, including walking up to the top of a park with an incredible view of the city.
