Our guide, Aylin, was excellent as she is knowledgeable of Cologne's history through the ages as well as culture. Her English is excellent, her knowledge of historic dates was impressive, even back to the twelfth century. We toured inside the cathedral and was impressed as we’ve toured many cathedrals and she made it very interesting. We also toured around the town through the art museum, bridge, walked around the waterfront, town and even had a local beer. Having been raised in Cologne, it was interesting to hear her speak of older generations, as well as German approach to teaching history to the youth today.
FYI, Cologne train station has an excellent storage facility to hold luggage while spending time touring.
