We participated in this guided tour with Ortrud with 5 friends. Such a nice, cheerful and competent lady made this tour an experience. The cologne, the entertaining storytelling and the expertise of this great lady Ortrud, simply unique.

Two very entertaining hours with Ortrud thrilled us. There were many humorously presented anecdotes about special burial sites. The title "with all the senses" was program for Ortrud. Thank you!

We took part in the tour yesterday in a small group of 5 women and were very enthusiastic. Ortrud - our guide - entertained us wonderfully. She gave us a lot of interesting, curious and interesting things to know, always accompanied by a portion of Cologne humor and pronounced Rhineland cheer. We spent a very entertaining afternoon, which passed far too quickly. We also book the next tour - certainly again with Ortrud.

Yesterday we took part in a Melaten tour with all the senses of Adventure World Tours. Our walk led past impressive and modest burial sites and we received the appropriate information. It was entertaining and interesting. It was colorful and emotional. Our guide Harry had an answer to every question, shone with background knowledge of Cologne's history and anecdotes. This informative two-hour guided tour sharpened our view of the different resting places. Thank you for the versatility, I didn't expect so varied. Melatenfriedhof is not just a cemetery. Highly recommended!
