    As soon as we arrived, our guide Markus prepared himself for everything that was possible and quickly adapted the footpath for those who had difficulty walking. At the same time, he wanted to know the expectations of the participants and aligned the Cologne story accordingly, so there was something personal and suitable for everyone. Apart from the fact that his Cologne attitude, way of life and humor made the 2 hour tour go by quickly. We would be happy to travel with him again!

    It was a nice informative city tour, the time flew by. Our tour guide showed us the most important sights in the city and on the Rhine. At the same time, the manners and customs of the people of Cologne were explained with a lot of humor and wit. Great tour and highly recommended!

    Die Führung mit unserem Kölner Urgestein Markus war genial. Abseits der gängigen Touri-Attraktionen haben wir viele schöne und interessante Ecken entdecken dürfen, die wir sonst niemals gesehen oder wahrgenommen hätten. Mit viel Herzblut hat er uns sein Köln ein ganzes Stück näher gebracht. Die Tour ist sehr zu empfehlen. Auch auf individuelle Wünsche oder Fragen geht Markus ein und passt die Tour entsprechend an. Sehr empfehlenswert.
