The lady (unfortunately I can't remember her name) gave a great and very informative tour. I could have listened for a few more hours.

The tour of the Semperoper was informative, with little anecdotes, the lady had a very pleasant voice, she had a very nice manner. An all-round success.

The detailed and informative explanations about the history of the Semperoper and the clever construction. It was annoying that several guided tours took place at the same time and the explanations of the other tours could be heard...

Ticket reservation worked well, the guided tour through the Semperoper was great, the highlight was Mr. Nowak, who conducted the tour, his dry humor was the icing on the cake.
