Good tour with friendly, knowledgeable local guide. Saw may sights near and around the cathedral and the history of the city was well covered. Recommended.

Our guide Monica was lovely, very informative and helpful, shown us all the highlights of Cologne and its history. I think if we were in a larger group it would have become difficult to hear our guide.

Excellent tour. Loved that it was just 1.5 hours which was the perfect length. Our guide was very knowledge and kept the tour on time while also answering our questions. The only negative point was that the meeting point was not super clear as the guide was waiting at the general destination however he was on the other side of the road closer to he cathedral and not where the tour buses and trains were. This was fine and logical but should have been clearer and the sign the guide was holding was so small and should have been a bit bigger. Other than that, it was a great tour once we got going! Thanks!
