“Patrick was exactly what we wanted. Our personal concierge. Brief history to modern day life in Leipzig. Must see attractions and local gems not regularly seen by tourists. Took us to a historical restaurant (Auerbach Keller) in a basement that was immaculate with wonderful local cuisine. Took us to the quaint museum ( Robert Capa) and location where the last American soldier was killed in WWII. He was so helpful getting us from the train station to our hotel and assisted with my wife's luggage the entire way. He was a blessing. Our hope is to see him again. If not in Leipzig but eternally with Jesus.”
