Our private waking tour of Cologne's old town was excellent. We visited the traditional markets, roman ruins, the cathedral. Toured the cathedral and received a very good overview of the construction history, significance of stain glass windows, the story of the three magi and their bones were brought to the cathedral. Our guide, Manfred gave us tips on the best restaurants, where to buy the famous Cologne fragrance. Very useful
