A great way to see the highlights of Cologne. - The tour guide was very informative and friendly! The tour covered a lot of ground. Make sure to have an appropriate size tip. Mine was too large and she refused it. Also, make sure to have early contact with your guide. The meet-up site is hard to find.

Great Tour of old town Cologne/Cathedral - Hicham was a wonderful and engaging guide. Besides learning Cologne's history, we had a great time discussing many topics. When I suddenly overheated in the Cathedral he took great care of me and my wife. He went out and brought back a candy bar to help me recover. He then waited until I felt better and then showed us the rest of the Cathedral Highly recommend Hicham.
