Overall rating

4.3 / 5

based on 891 reviews

Good connections, easy to get on and off and especially useful in Cologne is the fact that the center is compact so you can also skip stops and walk to the next one yourself.

Bus good, driver very friendly, on time. It started to rain and the windows fogged up. Windshield wipers in the upper window would have been very helpful.

Very interesting, well organized and professionally conducted. Informative. Gladly again.

Great tour with very good guides, and excellent beers.

wonderful tour very nice group and guide was great!
