“Hannah was very knowledgeable and the route was well chosen. She coped admirably with the two languages (English and German) tirelessly doubling up the talk time. We benefited from that, as we both speak both languages, so if we had missed something in the one, we got it back in the second! The indoor tours were well equipped with us each having a mobile-phone sized speaker, so that she could talk in an hushed tone e.g. inside the cathedral and we were not interrupted by the numerous other guided groups' guides.”
