Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The tour took us to parts of the city that we would not have ventured otherwise.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that your guide made the tour both enjoyable and insightful, showing you hidden parts of the city that added to the experience.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, funny and easy to understand . No strenuous walking. Don't forget to get a Kolsh Bier after the tour. Delicious food and so close to the Bahnhoff.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that your guide made the tour both informative and enjoyable, and that you got to experience the local food and drinks afterward. It sounds like a perfect combination of history, fun, and local flavor!
A remarkable experience in Cologne's Old town, Our guide was so knowledgeable about the cologne's architectural history of the best churches in the town.
Dear Client, Thank you for your positive feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our tour. We hope that you will use our services again in the future. We look forward to welcoming you back on another tour! Best regards. Rosotravel Team
Dramatically over-priced. St. Martin's Cathedral wasn't even open and there wasn't really even an agenda. Our guide, Bernhard i believe was his name, was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable but was soft-spoken with a pretty thick German accent...making it very difficult to understand him, especially for my dad who is hard of hearing. Some of the churches we walked through were very interesting...no doubt...but again, price point ($185.07 for 2-hour tour) was way out of whack.
Our tour guide was wonderful. He explained much of the history of the churches but also gave us tidbits about the history of Cologne itself. He was also very patient as I was not feeling good that day.
Our specific request for our walking tour was to view churches or cathedrals other than the Cologne Cathedral that we knew we would see on another city walking tour. Our knowledgeable and engaging guide, Charly, took us to St. Martin’s church and St. Gereon’s basilica. He shared in depth history and background on both structures and their religious history and significance. Charly also fielded our many general questions on Cologne’s history and culture. We had an exceptional experience and highly recommend Charly as a guide!
Great tour of Cologne Cathedral & St. Martin church. Our guide, Bernrd, was very knowledgeable about the churches and the city's Roman history.
