Stories and anecdotes - Thank you for the great tour. We have been to the South Cemetery years ago, but we did not know the interesting details. All the more astonished we were about the stories and anecdotes about the historical graves. Highly recommended.

Cemetery tour Leipzig: Recommended! - We already knew the city centre of Leipzig, the southern cemetery not yet. And we were really surprised: Huge grounds, ornate tombs, romantic park... Dirk led us with wit and knowledge about the facility, here and there there was also a scary-beautiful anecdote. That's exactly what we had in mind.:-) Recommendation!

Exciting tour, exciting place - We didn't want to believe it, but the cemetery is really great. Dirk told us many interesting stories about the facility and its "occupants". 90 minutes is actually too little to explore the huge area. Thanks for the exciting guided tour!
