Our guide Peter was excellent - very informative and a pleasant gentlemen. The castle tour was amazing and Peter informed us just enough to make it interesting - not overwhelming us with dates and facts. We would have liked to have a little more time downtown in the city, but overall very happy with our choice.

Good connections, easy to get on and off and especially useful in Cologne is the fact that the center is compact so you can also skip stops and walk to the next one yourself.

Bus good, driver very friendly, on time. It started to rain and the windows fogged up. Windshield wipers in the upper window would have been very helpful.

Very interesting, well organized and professionally conducted. Informative. Gladly again.

Excellent tour guide, beautiful places to visit, strongly recommended
