Traveler Reviews

Sascha Seubert hat uns in zwei Stunden auf eine sehr kurzweilige und amüsante Weise Bonn näher gebracht .

Sympathische, humorvolle Führung. Flexibel, kompetent und auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Sascha weiß Bonner Gäste zu unterhalten.

Die Stadtführung durch Bonn hat uns allen überaus gut gefallen. Sascha hat uns auf sympathische, humorvolle und spannende Art und Weise die Geschichte und Höhepunkte Bonns nähergebracht. Die Tour ist in hohem Maße zu empfehlen!

Sascha hat uns in unkonventioneller, lockerer Art In 2 h die Geschichte Bonns näher gebracht. Nicht trocken, sondern spritzig, witzig. Wir besuchten Orte, die man normalerweise sicher so nicht findet. Grossartig. Danke nochmal
