It was raining and cold to start. Not the tour guides fault. Maybe he could have pulled to a covering once in a while to talk to us about what we were going to see then go to the spot. Also a lot what we were shown were small pictures on the wall. It was supposed to be 2 hours it was maybe 1:30. The pick up location was not clear and when texting to get help no one responded. I wouldn’t recommend this for the price.
Great tour

We had a wonderful time on our Cologne tour. Sascha was fun, friendly, knowledgeable, and even waited for us when we were late! We ended right back at the cathedral and were able to walk around the beautiful Christmas market.
Must do in the city!

On a rainy Sunday afternoon in November, sascha took us along a journey through cologne! He had a rooted perspective of someone who had spent 23 yrs there, and a love of the culture! He kept things lively with his jokes n kept us engaged throughout despite the group containing people from 6-7 nationalities and the different perspectives that come with it! Would highly recommend.

Great tour with small group of other travelers. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgable. We moved through lines more swiftly and learned a lot. Till they can give more information.
