We booked a private tour, after 2 changes for the guide we truly believed that it will be a mass. But!!! Werne W. was a charming, former teacher with outstanding knowledge and a never ending twinkle in his eyes. Well done

The tourist information is centrally located in the city, housed in a monumental building. Large selection of brochures and information material about activities and sights in Aachen and the surrounding area. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Anyhow decided to go in and take advantage of free information about Aachen anyway. The staff were very friendly and gave me a perfect one day itinerary for the city. The tourist office also has a free city map of the main sites in the city, so kudos for that. I got the impression that most of the tourists to Aachen were French or German as there was a lot less English guides on display than the other two languages. But the staff spoke good English anyway, so no problems.

Was not given correct meeting location, so I paid for something that I was not able to take advantage of but Aachen is pretty easy to get around in. So this is really a waste of money

As we already explained in our email, we are very sorry to hear that you did not find the group. However, we have contacted our guide who led the tour and we asked our staff at the tourist information. All of them confirmed that the tour did take place as booked, from exact the meeting point that has been given to you and the other participants. Also, the guide waited for you for about 10 minutes. We are sorry you missed the tour anyway. Apart from this, we hope your enjoyed your stay in Aachen. Best regards of the team aachen tourist service e.v.

We made use of the tourist information to find a guide. We had a great guide: Hilbert de Wal. A Dutch guide who knew so much that we could have spent the whole day with him. Full of humour he gave us a very relaxed tour. We visited the beautiful early 20th century swimming pool and the convent gave us access to the garden. His German and English is also fluent. After the tour we thought: Aken is a place to come back to.

We needed to find out what tours might be available so we used Google maps and did a search for "visitor information." It led us to this office where we found the staff to be cheerful and very helpful.

This is the place where you’ll get all the info you require to see the sights and get around Aachen. The staff are also very friendly and willing to help. Not always the case at some Tourist Infos I have visited

This is probably the first place you will visit in Aachen.For tourists this is the central point and also the point from which many of the buses to outlying tourist sites depart from. The service staff are friendly, very helpful and knowledgeable. Don't wait, start your exploring here.

This walking Tour of the old town will take 1.5h and inform you about key elements of Aachen culture.
The route we took was easy to walk, wheelchair accessible (as far as I can remember).
Starting at the Elisembrunnen an informative guide will show you around ending the tour at the Katschhof with several stops in between.
I enjoyed the mix of mythical and historical information but would have replaced the "Kreislauf des Geldes" with the "Bahkauv" fountain as I find its story a lot more compelling but ah well - leaves you sth. to explore on your own.
All in all a good place to start if you want to know more about the city and its origins.

For anyone wishing to get around Aachen or its surrounding countryside, the Elisenbrunnen Tourist Information is the place to go where one can get brochures of the region or to talk with the staff in getting around. A map of the city is helpful and these can be obtained at the information center.
