The Cologne Cathedral is EXCELLENT, other churches and interesting points were only seen from afar
I was disappointed that we signed up for both Antwerp and Cologne and instead only went to Cologne. We were told that this would make the trip too long and we could spend more time in Cologne. Our guide, Jorge was great though and did his best to accommodate both Spanish and English speaking folks in the tour.
Jorge was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about Cologne and very helpful with our questions. We enjoyed the tour and Jorge made it more enjoyable.
I actually gave this rating because it was problem-free. It was a lovely day; although many places were closed due to Easter, Cologne was beautiful.
We had a very great day in Cologne and Antwerp. The tour guide, Jorge, was very informative and he made the trip very interesting. He also made very good recommendations of where to eat or what to try when we were in Cologne and Antwerp. I am very thankful that I booked this trip. I really enjoyed it!

I had an amazing tour to Cologne, Germany and Antwerp, Belgium with Amigo Tours. Our guide Jorge was outstanding – very knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. He shared so much history and also had a real talent for taking great photos of the group. Both cities were absolutely beautiful, and the whole trip was smooth and well organised. This experience was truly worth it and one of the highlights of my travels. Highly recommended!
