Die Führung wurde durch einen sympathischen Guide durchgeführt. Man bekommt einen Film zu sehen und hat Einblicke in die Montage und dem Rohbau. Das Gebäude ist ein echtes Highlight, ich würde mit meinen Kindern gerne nochmal kommen.

Ein sehr kurzweiliger und doch informativer Rundgang durch eine der reizvollsten Städte. Sehr viele Anekdoten, neben dem sehr geschickten Einflechten aktueller Ereignisse. Sehr gerne wieder!

I don't think, well he said it himself - I am not Saxon - he was real. Try to get him but I really doubt it and he can speak English well enough for me to get what I want.

It was a great journey and tour guide is friendly and humorous. We learned a lot and had a really good time which we will remember forever.

Very interesting, you can see producing a car from the first row, among robots and workers.
