Everything very clean organized, well decorated barracks and with various shopping options to gift well typical of the region Excellent typical foods you are in doubt which to eat Don't stop visiting
It was a friendly nice guide it nice anecdotes. Speaking good English and took us to nice places and knew a lot about the city and its history to tell all in all successful tour.
It was my first night in Cologne and figured, this will be a great way to start my trrip. Well, I wasn't wrong. We were quite a small group, 3 people in total, plus our guide Jenz. That just contributed the the atmosphere of the tour. It felt like being out with friends and enjoying the night. As it was quite crouded, Jenz offered to skip the main Christmas market and visit few smaller ones. Well, that was the right call. We saw Santas on motorbikes, live entertainment and tasted some delicious gluhwein. And the markets we visited were beutiful and each one a bit different from the previous one. Plus Jenz was great at sharing all kinds of historical and funny facts. Definitely recommend this tour
Had a wonderful time walking around Christmas Markets . David was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Glad we did this tour.
Great experience of Christmas market to get you in the mood of winter wonder. Enjoy the drinks and food that warm your heart, and jingle mingle around the many markets.
Great tour of the Christmas markets. Fun going with a guide who knows where the best spots are. We had a lot of fun!
Great tour! Bernie was super nice and informative! Took us to great Christmas market along with some great facts!
We loved tasting Kolsch beers and learning all about Cologne’s history! Marina was an absolute gem and a fantastic tour guide. She had great knowledge of the city and went out of her way to help us get a reservation at a popular restaurant the following night. We were able to go to the largest Christmasmarket, learn the history, and shop around. Kolsch is a great beer for people who don’t like beer or who do! A great time!
