La bonne blague… pour avoir une visite en Français, c’est le samedi uniquement… en anglais, c’est une fois par jour. Bref, si on ne parle pas allemand, rien n’est à la hauteur

We hebben Aken bezocht met de kerstmarkt was gezellig. Met de p+r bus ben je voor €5 in de binnenstad ideaal geparkeerd op parkeerplaats Westfriedhof en er gaat iedere 5 min. een bus

We have been wanting to go to Aachen for a while now, when we finally did, we were not disappointed. Monica, our guide, was so good at what she does, she took us on a journey in time starting from the Romans all the way to today. It was a magical experience. She was so kindhearted and described everything clearly. It was a day to remember. I highly recommend it.

Also i would like to add that we have booked this tour tour with viator and everytime we were directed to this company based in India. We were surprised but then we found out that they only use local guides.
They were really professional and answered every e-mail right away. They even adjusted the meeting point when we asked. Before every tour they would send us a reminder along with pictures of the meeting point. And they did a great job. We were really impressed.
