Fantastic tour of Cologne with Aylin - Aylin gave us a fabulous tour of Cologne. She was able to take us into the Cathedral and give us a private tour including a wonderful personal story. She then took us to several other places including the bridge of locks and the Cologne Museum. She was extremely informative, charming and so delightful to be with. She’s a wonderful guide.

Fabulous tour & worth the visit to Cologne - Our guide, Aylin, was excellent as she is knowledgeable of Cologne's history through the ages as well as culture. Her English is excellent, her knowledge of historic dates was impressive, even back to the twelfth century. We toured inside the cathedral and was impressed as we’ve toured many cathedrals and she made it very interesting. We also toured around the town through the art museum, bridge, walked around the waterfront, town and even had a local beer. Having been raised in Cologne, it was interesting to hear her speak of older generations, as well as German approach to teaching history to the youth today. FYI, Cologne train station has an excellent storage facility to hold luggage while spending time touring.

Fantastic Christmas time or anytime in Koln/Cologne - Aylin was a superb guide. Her graceful style and sensibilities made our trip very enjoyable. She blended great tidbits of history with well-timed stops for gluhwein and a Fruh Kolsch. The Christmas markets are magical at this time of year so all in all a wonderful time with great ideas and options that Aylin provided. Definitely would recommend taking tours with her!

Fantastic!! - Michael was a wealth of knowledge. We really enjoyed getting to know his current home city Cologne and him during this tour. Of course we loved touring the Cologne Cathedral. The stain glass windows, flying buttresses were jaw dropping. But we also saw lots of unexpected things on this tour like underground Roman walls just below the Cologne Cathedral and a Roman tile floor unearthed in recent years that is so exquisite that they built a museum to showcase it. Well worth your time-go for it!!
