Not exciting for children, even more so for adults

The city tour itself was great! However, I recommend it without children, as they are naturally bored quickly.

Für Kinder nicht spannend, für Erwachsene umso mehr

Die Stadtführung an sich war super! Ich empfhele es allerdings ohne Kinder, da diese natürlich schnell gelangweilt sind.
