What a great experience!
Michael was absolutely wonderful and we could not have been more pleased. He was a wealth of knowledge about Cologne and the area in general. He answered every question we posed with poise, grace and sometimes - humor. He even took care to try to play our trip around areas he thought may be of interest instead of just following a routine. Michael was great and 5 stars too low for the great tour of Cologne he provided. Well done!

Great and fun!
Julian was excellent! Fun tour, with history and city experiences. Have had the patience to wait for the delay of our arrival train and did everything possible for the tour to be profitable. I highly recommend.

Tour was a home run!
Alyn was amazing and made this a very exciting and memorable experience for myself and my 15 year old daughter. She communicated clearly with us before the tour coordinating our link up. She tailored the tour to our specific interests, was very knowledgeable, and extremely engaging. Well worth the money and highly recommended.

Cologne tour
Our guide Sascha took us round and explained the city to us. It was very informative and entertaining to understand the history of cologne especially the perfume. Overall it was a very informative and concise tour!

Well worth it!
Went with a group of co-workers as part of a business trip. We were all tired after a long day on our feet, so we asked our guide to run an abbreviated version of the tour giving us the highlights. She did exactly that!

Intro Tour
Although our tour was good, i would have expected a bit more discussion of history. Three hours was too much. Also the “commercial” stop was unnecessary. We wanted history and culture. No preparatory props. No suggestions offered as to what else might be done while we are in the area.
