Reviews from guests
Ross had a ron of knowledge, gear facts and great energy. We (mostly my son) had a ton of random questions and Ross always seemed to know the answers. Perfectly arranged tour - makes me want to move to Cologne. Highly recommend. Super fun and knowledgeable guide
We had a fantastic walk around Cologne, Ross provided history, influences on the city, popular sites & old time fables, all in all a great tour around the city centre, chocolate included so yum!, 3 hours went quick!! Ross even provided tips for lunch with which we visited brauhaus which had great food, service & pilsner of course!!
I Highly recommend a tour with Ross
Thanks Ross!!Fun tour in Cologne
We could not have been happier with our private tour of Cologne with Ross. We were delayed on our arrival in the City, and Ross came over to our arrival location to meet us to get the tour started. He brought a very yummy pastry! He provided a great mix of the biggest hits and local flavor, and we very much enjoyed the off the beaten path locations that he showed us. Ross is a great photographer with your smartphones--it is so nice to have the non-selfie pictures at all the right angles. He really understands the beauty of Cologne. At the end of of the tour we were starving and he listened to what we wanted, got us situated in a restaurant and placed our order for us--so efficient. Thanks again, Ross!Terrific Private Tour!
We spent 3 hours with Ross on our discovery tour of Cologne, walked the old city and especially liked the few narrow streets of Cologne. Ross is constantly attentive to our wish trying to steer the way to what we like to see or to do. My son being a student photographer, Ross brought us to picturesque parts of the town. We highly recommend Ross for your future trip to Cologne.Discovery Afternoon with Ross
We spent a day in Koln with Ross, an amazing tour guide, and got to explore the history of the city, with a taste for local food, culture and Kölsch. I highly highly recommend this service to anyone (German or not) visiting this wonderfully rich city. Ross, thank you for a beautiful trip and day.Wonderful day in Koln
Great tour old-town, the history of Koln and of course beers! Make sure you bring plenty of cash. Maybe buy some Kolsch glasses to take home for friendsGreat Time With Ross
We enjoyed our tour of Koln with Ross, who is good company, and quite knowledgeable about Koln. He took us to a few good places to try food typical of Koln. Partly due to some venues not updating their information, some places we visited were closed. I was also left wondering about the influence of immigration on German cuisine, outwith the impact of Turkish immigration. For example, we saw a lot of Vietnamese restaurants, and a surprisingly high numbers of Georgian restaurants as well.
We certainly didn't get to sample ten things during our tour, but we did talk about a lot of other things.
All in all, fun, but could have done with better preparation and planning. Good company
Ross took my request and gave us the perfect custom Kolsch tour in Cologne, complete with appetizers and history. Was perfect!Awesome guide and fun custom tour!
Ross was an extremely knowledgeable tour guide. We had a great time learning about Koln, and the food was great Excellent tour
Ross was very friendly and nice. We were expecting a bit more food for our food tour however. There were four of us and we each paid over $100. We divided some bread, sandwiches and meat in four pieces and had some delicious chocolate that we all divided. He was knowledgeable about some history, although he told us there was an elevator in the church, but alas there was not. He did say this was his first tour in a while after some travel abroad and was a bit jet lagged. We felt safe and comfortable with Ross but just would have liked a bit more for our money.Nice but a little pricey
We hebben een leuke tour gehad met Ross, hij was heel enthousiast, wist veel over Keulen te vertellen en liet leuke plekjes zien. Wel vonden we de prijs voor deze tour (bijna €80,- pp) niet helemaal in verhouding. We hadden voor deze prijs wel meer tastings of grotere porties verwacht. Enthousiaste gids, wel redelijk prijzig
Ross did a wonderful job of customizing our tour to things that would be interesting for us. The food was delicious and the company was great. I would recommend Ross the next time you are in Cologne.Good personalized tour!
Ross was a fabulous tour guide. I had told him before we came that I had some physical limitations and he made our plans accordingly. He took us to places of historical importance and several food places. The potato pancakes were the best!! I would recommend Ross for his knowledge and great personality! Amazing!!!
Rod was very knowledgeable about cologne and shared delicious food! It was so much fun! Ross is amazing!
Ross was a great guide. He’s very friendly and knowledgeable of the area, and he gave us great suggestions to try for the next couple of days. He was very flexible and accommodated our schedule as we had a problem at the laundromat before the tour. I definitely recommend Ross for anyone doing tours in Cologne. Fun and tasty tour
Ross was a fantastic host. He was accommodating of our late arrival. Always making sure each member of our group had tastings to their liking. His knowledge of the local area was excellent. Highly recommended! Excellent time in Cologne
Really enjoyed Ross” knowledge of Cologne.Excellent tour
Ross did an absolutely amazing job as our guide on our Tasting Tour of Cologne! His personality is perfect as a guide and his range of knowledge was fantastic. The food and beer we sampled was delicious.
Would highly recommend Ross as your guide for Cologne!Ross Rocked our tour!
We recently booked an English tour of the brewhouses in Cologne for my visiting family. It was fantastic! Ross, our guide, was wonderful explaining all the aspects of Kölsch beer and culture. The tour was comfortably paced and informative. I work as a city guide in Cologne and was very pleased to learn new information about a city I know intimately. I must add that this is an entertaining tour about and for Kölsch beer. However it is not about drinking in excess. Highly RecommendedRecommended Tour
Had a great tour with Ross as a guide. Michael showed up as well at his bday party. They showed us an extra brewery as a favor. So nice! A definite go to when in Koln.Great Tour
