Great walking tour of charming Lindau - Kirsten was a wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable guide for our very complete walking tour through the historic and charming island of Lindau. So much rich history and information was provided during this easy, nearly 2 hour stroll. Had such a great understanding of the creation and early times of the area thanks to Kirsten. Highly recommended!
