Tour Guide Needs to Inform Changes Early
Azi_I, Sep 2023
I didn't go because the tour guide informed me of changing the start time from noon to 10 am when it was almost midnight the day prior to the start of the tour.

Liezel_L, Jul 2023
Our tour guide Sascha was very nice, and accommodating. He answered our questions, gave us tips and restaurant recommendations, and gave us a small gift too! He made a wise decision to re-route our walking tour due to a group athletic fan club that were rallying around Cologne. Good thinking, Sascha and thank you!

Great walking tour of the Cathedral and Old Town!
Matthew_R, Jun 2023
I only had a few hours in Cologne, and this tour gave me a taste of the town’s major sights! We walked around Cathedral (didn’t go in, but it’s free to enter afterwards), then explored the old town center nearby. Sascha was an awesome guide! He gave us tons of info about Cologne in a super entertaining manner. Would definitely recommend this tour!
