5.00The tour guide was very informative and friendly! The tour covered a lot of ground. Make sure to have an appropriate size tip. Mine was too large and she refused it. Also, make sure to have early contact with your guide. The meet-up site is hard to find.

5.00Hicham was a wonderful and engaging guide. Besides learning Cologne's history, we had a great time discussing many topics. When I suddenly overheated in the Cathedral he took great care of me and my wife. He went out and brought back a candy bar to help me recover. He then waited until I felt better and then showed us the rest of the Cathedral Highly recommend Hicham.
A beautiful city and a wonderful tour

5.00My guide (Madalena) was friendly, personable and in constant communication with me before I arrived in Cologne. She shared great stories about the city, its history and herself. She was patient and answered all of my questions and gave me able time to take photos. I would highly recommend this experience and my guide

5.00This was great, it was basically like a private tour with a friend showing you their city. Carlos tailored the day around what we were telling him and what we were clearly interested in, and modified along the way as we got excited about things - such as having to deal with me running into the Hard Rock Cafe because I had to have a T-shirt. It was exactly the tour we wanted.
Look for Daniel in Berlin!

5.00Our private walking tour of Berlin with Daniel was truly exceptional! He was incredibly knowledgeable, a walking encyclopedia of history facts, and kept us completely engaged throughout. Daniel was so well prepared and expertly tailored the tour to our exact interests. It was an absolute joy and pleasure to spend a morning learning about Berlin and its rich history with him. Highly recommend!
