Guide Brigitte Plonner has led especially engaging tours, though some guides focus more on dates and facts than stories.
“Was für eine besondere Tour mit unserem Guide Brigitte Plonner. Sie versteht es sehr anschaulich uns die Augsburger Wasserwirschaft nahe zu bringen. Es war eine interessante kurzweilige Tour. Fast hätte sie nicht stattgefunden, weil wir leider nur zwei Teilnehmende waren. Mit so einen Enthusiasmus dann dennoch für letztlich 3 Teilnehmer in die Tour zu gehen,.fand ich sehr bemerkenswert. Wir haben viel im Austausch erfahren und sind nun bestens informiert. Ich kann Frau Plonner und ihre Tour uneingeschränkt empfehlen..jederzeit wieder!”
