Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a fantastic walk around Cologne, Ross provided history, influences on the city, popular sites & old time fables, all in all a great tour around the city centre, chocolate included so yum!, 3 hours went quick!! Ross even provided tips for lunch with which we visited brauhaus which had great food, service & pilsner of course!! I Highly recommend a tour with Ross Thanks Ross!!"
"Ross was an extremely knowledgeable tour guide. We had a great time learning about Koln, and the food was great "
"We could not have been happier with our private tour of Cologne with Ross. We were delayed on our arrival in the City, and Ross came over to our arrival location to meet us to get the tour started. He brought a very yummy pastry! He provided a great mix of the biggest hits and local flavor, and we very much enjoyed the off the beaten path locations that he showed us. Ross is a great photographer with your smartphones--it is so nice to have the non-selfie pictures at all the right angles. He really understands the beauty of Cologne. At the end of of the tour we were starving and he listened to what we wanted, got us situated in a restaurant and placed our order for us--so efficient. Thanks again, Ross!"
"Ross did a wonderful job of customizing our tour to things that would be interesting for us. The food was delicious and the company was great. I would recommend Ross the next time you are in Cologne."

"Ross was a fabulous tour guide. I had told him before we came that I had some physical limitations and he made our plans accordingly. He took us to places of historical importance and several food places. The potato pancakes were the best!! I would recommend Ross for his knowledge and great personality! "
"We spent 3 hours with Ross on our discovery tour of Cologne, walked the old city and especially liked the few narrow streets of Cologne. Ross is constantly attentive to our wish trying to steer the way to what we like to see or to do. My son being a student photographer, Ross brought us to picturesque parts of the town. We highly recommend Ross for your future trip to Cologne."
"Ross did an absolutely amazing job as our guide on our Tasting Tour of Cologne! His personality is perfect as a guide and his range of knowledge was fantastic. The food and beer we sampled was delicious. Would highly recommend Ross as your guide for Cologne!"
"Ross had a ron of knowledge, gear facts and great energy. We (mostly my son) had a ton of random questions and Ross always seemed to know the answers. Perfectly arranged tour - makes me want to move to Cologne. Highly recommend. "
"Daniel met us on time we had a wonderful experience. He took us in all the sections of the city that you might not go as a tourist. We enjoyed some local beer and some local food and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Daniel. Highly recommended."
