    The tour was entertaining but also very informative. Markus showed us places we would have never seen by our own. He told us interesting stories about life in Cologne today and in the past. We would book again a tour with Markus at any time. Thanks a lot for the great two hours in Cologne.

    Wir haben uns am Heumarkt mit Angelika (Angel) getroffen und hatten eine sehr kurzweilige und informative 2 stündige Stadtführung. Die Zeit verging viel zu schnell mit vielen netten Anekdoten und kleinen kölschen Geschichten und Gesangseinlagen. Vielen herzlichen Dank an "dat kölsche Mädche"

    We really liked the city tour with Angelika. She introduced us to Cologne in a very varied way. We learned a lot about Cologne's customs and peculiarities, but also about the historical origins of today's Cologne. Everything was accompanied by pictures from earlier times and even with a musical performance and a small shoestring and dance performance. You could feel how much Angelika loves her hometown. Anytime again!!!!
