Best experience in Cologne

Published on Dec, 2024

A remarkable experience in Cologne's Old town, Our guide was so knowledgeable about the cologne's architectural history of the best churches in the town.

A Must for a History lovers...

Published on Dec, 2024

The best tour to understand the history of Cologne's and the stunning architecture of the cathedrals is the best part of it.

Wonderful and educational

Published on Sep, 2024

Our tour guide was wonderful. He explained much of the history of the churches but also gave us tidbits about the history of Cologne itself. He was also very patient as I was not feeling good that day.

Cologne Church & Basilica that shouldn’t be missed!

Published on Apr, 2024

Our specific request for our walking tour was to view churches or cathedrals other than the Cologne Cathedral that we knew we would see on another city walking tour. Our knowledgeable and engaging guide, Charly, took us to St. Martin’s church and St. Gereon’s basilica. He shared in depth history and background on both structures and their religious history and significance. Charly also fielded our many general questions on Cologne’s history and culture. We had an exceptional experience and highly recommend Charly as a guide!

Bernrd was great

Published on May, 2023

Great tour of Cologne Cathedral & St. Martin church. Our guide, Bernrd, was very knowledgeable about the churches and the city's Roman history.
