What a great experience. ...
What a great experience. Marco was wonderful and would recommend this tour. We love to learn about the places we are traveling and especially some history too. Marco and this tour was great in giving us a feel for the town and its importance from before the Roman Empire to now. Beautiful town and was a highlight of our trip to cologne. Happy we took the time for a day trip. We stayed after and visited the Christmas markets on our own. Total about 10,000 steps for tour. Easy walk from train and cathedral area slightly hilly but even terrain.

Beautiful walking tour of Aachen
Well planned walking tour of Aachen. Guide was patient and flexible allowing for many photos. He adjusted our tour to better support our interest in the gorgeous fountains. Did not take the exact same route back so we saw additional scenery. Knowledgeable and conversational. Paced the tour perfectly. Also quick to point out regional food and shops.
