Jutte was so knowledgeable and pointed out things that we never would have discovered on our own. She is a very good story teller and a fun guide.

Ayila was personable and knowledgeable. Good overview. I liked both the history and some of the fun legends.

Thank you Kelly!! :)

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.

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!

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!!

Enthousiaste en vriendelijke gids. Michael had diverse historische foto's bij zich om zijn verhaal te verduidelijken.
