    Fantastic

    Christina was very good. The tour was amazing. She shared some very interesting staff about her city. I would do it again. We even enjoyed a nice cold beer at the end. Totally recommended if you are in Cologne

    Great way to see Cologne

    The tour was very informational, and the guide for the English tour Steve did a great job keeping us entertained with various stories about Cologne and the surrounding area. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour!

    I had a tour with Mike. It was a great experience. Even though I was in a city for only 5 hours his enthusiasm left me with a strong desire to visit Cologne at least a couple more times.

    No you can just show up, but if you have an online booking they will wait for you if you are a few minutes late.
