Wonderful tour of Cologne - This was an amazing tour. Sarah is very knowledgeable and shared some fun stories and made us all feel very well taken care of. She never rushed us and was able to expound on every question we had. I have been on many tours over the years and this was among the best. Highly recommend it!

Fantastic Few Hours with a Great Gude - Sander was a fantastic guide. He really made the tour and city come alive through his knowledge and interpretations. Lots of hidden passages and areas you may not find on your own. Fantastic value and well run tour!

Great introduction to the city. - Excellent guide who gave us a great introduction to the history of Koln, as well as the culture of vibe. The cycling was easy though it was a bit busy with pedestrians in places but ringing the bell works well.

Unorganized - Our group of 6 did this tour yesterday with Marvin. It was an ok tour but seemed very disorganized. Lots of unnecessary stops with not a lot of information. Marvin was not very friendly and had argument with my friend in the group because he stopped in an area that was not safe to be stopped in as a truck was trying to turn. Also did not walk our bikes by the Dom and should have as there were lots of children around. Just a difficult day. Would not recommend. We actually asked to stop the tour early.
