    My partner and I booked a walking tour around Aachen Central and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide had a deep knowledge and a good understanding of the town, which made our experience informative and yet fun. For the price of 25$ per person you do learn about all the highlights that this imperial place has to offer. The guide took good care of the group and elevated our tour impression. He showed us the good hidden gems of each sight, answered every question we had and provided additional pictures of buildings through the years. Overall, we highly recommend booking this tour with our guide if you want to as much as you can learn about Aachen in 2 hours!
