The tour was excellent, and Sasha put a lot of effort into being knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining. We learned so much more history from him than we did from a bus tour the previous day. The entire family recommends this tour.
Beautiful. Would do it all again.
It was quite hot on the day of our tour, but our tour guide, Sascha, kept the tour very enjoyable by including lots of humor and anecdotes in his stories. We appreciated that he walked us through stories throughout the whole existence of the cathedral from all sides and perspectives. He even took the time to stop at a local cafe for iced lattes which was much appreciated with how hot it was!
Great experience if you want to learn what the cathedral means.......................................
Our tour guide, Sascha, did an amazing job keeping the tour engaging through humor, knowledge and connection to the city of the three wise men! A wonderful tour, even in the heat of Europe.
An honest review of the city with history going back to Roman times, the darker parts of history not sugar coated. And a city celebrated. The guide showed us a few back streets with bars and restaurants away from the busy tourist section and asked us what we liked and gave good recommendations for it. I hate sports and was told of a good Irish bar where they don't have a TV.
Sascha was hilarious! Two hours flew by and he packed in a lot of historical tidbits. There is a lot more to Cologne than just the cathedral and he provided a roadmap for exploring the city on your own. We had only planned a day trip to the city, and regretted not spending one more day there. Your is definitely worth your time and a great value.
Thank you so much!
Despite the sweltering summer heat, our guide kept the tour engaging, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. We learned so much about the city’s history, architecture, and local culture—things we never would have discovered on our own. We also got recommendations for local restaurants and hidden gems. We ended up eating at one of the places our guide suggested, and it was fantastic! It made us feel like we were experiencing the city the way locals do. If you’re visiting and want an authentic, fun, and educational experience, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you for making our time here so memorable!
Thank you so much! :)
This review is for Sacha He is the most informed and entertaining guide that we have had here in Germany. He provides helpful information about the places and the timeframe of all the exhibits that we have seen, especially around the Cologne Cathedral. He also took us to see the places that are interesting to us tourists.
Thank you so much! :)
A very good introduction to the history of Cologne and its historical centre. Sascha was very knowledgeable and engaging with his storytelling.
