We booked and paid for a tour in English, travelled 2 hours to get to St.Gallen, only to find the tour is only available in German!

Great walking tour of the old town and St. Gallen Abbey Library
It was a very expert and interesting tour of the old town and the Abbey Library. The complex history and the most important buildings were explained very vividly and vividly. The tour was never boring, but it was a pleasure to listen.

We recommend!!
The Bonstetten cultural group would like to thank the St. Gallen-Bodensee tourist office!! The tours of the old town, the cathedral and the abbey library were very interesting and explained very well and in a very friendly manner by Ms. Dommann and Ms. Walker. Thank you very much and big praise to both of you! I would personally love to do it again, but I would plan a lot more time. There is still so much to discover and experience. Thank you very much, also on behalf of the Bonstetten cultural group :)

Competent, knowledgeable, friendly
Mrs Dommann guided us through the city, the cathedral and the library in a knowledgeable, understandable and very friendly manner. We would definitely recommend this tour. @ Mrs Dommann, we will come back to check whether St. Gallen is really as beautiful without rain as it is on your umbrella! Best wishes T and
