Majestic Cologne: Unforgettable Day Trip from Frankfurt

Our Tour Guide Thomas was exceptional. He took real good care of us.he was very friendly, knowledgable and speaks good English. So no communication issuea.

Was not thrilled with this tour. Did not get the hop on hop off bus as advertised. We were put on a little train.

The Cologne Carhedral was magnificent. Enjoyed Limburg as well. Would have gotten a 5 instead of a 4 but the little train vehicle used for our drive around Cologne didn’t have much visibility and it was often hard to hear what was being said. And by the time it told us about something we were often already passed it.

Boris is a wonderful tour guide, he has a wealth of knowledge about Germany’s history, he kept all of us engaged with the tour of Cologne even though it was a cold and rainy day. The most memorable is having lunch at one of the oldest restaurant in Cologne, Fruh, which is a wonderful restaurant and a brewery of their own beer. I would definitely return and spent more time at the various sites pointed out to us on the tour.

Great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. He knew the history and other interesting information. We really enjoyed it.

We were in Frankfurt for the Chiefs game & wanted to explore nearby cities. Since it was the beginning of the tourism offseason, our group was very small (6). We spent plenty of time at the cathedral, strolling the river walk area, & walking through town. We also took a touristy tram ride around downtown. We were not given any free time to eat or shop. We then drove to Limburg, an extremely charming village with an ancient cathedral. It was so lovely but most everything was closed. It was a great way to spend a full day outside of Frankfurt & learn more about the area & its history. The guide was personable & fluent in German, English, & Spanish.

We purchased a day trip to Cologne but it was canceled because there was only the two of us going. We were offered a trip to Rothenburg with a side trip to Heidelberg instead so we joined that group. It was a great trip but a long day with a lot of driving in a van with no air conditioning. The sites were wonderful.

If you are in Frankfurt is easy to get to Cologne by speed train. You'll arrive at the train station just in front of the cathedral. You are going to visit the city at your own pace and you'll enjoy. The city-tour-train is too short and too noisy. You won't be able to hear what is being said. The only highlight is the visit to Limburg on your way back. Don't miss it that part. However, you can get there by yourself too.

Beautiful day out with Peter to Cologne. The cathedral is stunning. The town is easily walkable, very flat. I am very impressed with this tour as we were the only two people, and the tour DID NOT CANCEL :) Comfy, tall passenger van. We went to Cologne and wandered. Told our guide we were hungry. Ate a delicious lunch on the water. And, the best part, was not even expected- we went into Limburg. What a beautiful “classic” looking little German town. Hilly and cute. Historic, yet clean and updated. It’s a long, slow, easy day. We walked about 4.5 miles.

We had private to for our family of 6. Peter was our guide and he was such a gentleman. We have traveled to over 40 countries as a family and by far this was our best guide and a great historian. He truly treats people nicely and cares for our needs. He was considerate and taught us many new things in Germany along our long drive. Hope to see Peter again. Thank you again, Peter!!
