Narrow streets, exotic courtyards, magnificent passages - these are the hidden Unpacked of Leipzig's city centre. Already in the Middle Ages, there were countless merchants' courts around the market square. Leipzig was the scene of colourful goods fairs : Twice a year, travelling traders from all over Europe came to the city.
Leipzig’s golden age began with the advent of model fairs around 1900. Medieval farms were no longer in demand – the goods were now presented in exhibition halls. In just a few years, impressive buildings shot out of the ground : the Central Fair Palace, Speck's courtyard or the famous Mädler Passage.
Experience Leipzig beyond the famous sights : surprising, charming and authentic. Discover 500 years of trade and change in one of the most beautiful cities in Saxony.

5.00Our guide ( Dirk Langenhan ) was very competent and made the tour a great experience. Entertaining, informative and funny are just a few buzzwords about the tour. Dirk’s recommendation to visit the Battle of Nations Monument in the early morning was also worth gold. Gladly again
Courtyards and passage tour with Mr Langenham - absolutely recommended!!!

5.00Wonderful and unforgettable tour with guide Dirk Langenhan through the courtyards and exhibition halls. So sympathetic and extremely competent, even long-established Leipzigers are surprised, learn the unknown and discover hidden places. He shows and explains all facets and inspires the city, its history and tradition - simply fantastic. In addition, a very individual small group tour in which he responded wonderfully to all questions. Thank you very much!!!
Great tourist city

5.00Highly recommended guided tour of the exhibition halls and passages in Leipzig city centre. Our guide really knew an interesting story about each house. 90 minutes was far too short for us.

5.00Recommended guided tour with very dedicated tour guide. We have visited Leipzig many times before, but we have not been guided through the city so enchantingly. Also the recommended cafe was entirely to our taste. We will definitely come back.

5.00I did the tour together with a friend. The guide greeted us very friendly and we dived directly into the Leipzig courtyards and passages. In addition to the many architectural and urban historical features, we have also been able to experience small and large anecdotes time and again, which have made the tour very interesting and entertaining. We can only recommend the tour and the guide. We have already booked the tour of the South Cemetery.
