Our guide Peter was excellent - very informative and a pleasant gentlemen. The castle tour was amazing and Peter informed us just enough to make it interesting - not overwhelming us with dates and facts. We would have liked to have a little more time downtown in the city, but overall very happy with our choice.

Φτάσαμε και παρκάραμε πολύ εύκολα. Πολύ όμορφο πάρκο. Η καθε γωνιά του και κάτι διαφορετικό. Πολλά σόου που εντυπωσιάζουν τα παιδιά. Μεγάλη ευκολία τα τρενάκια που σε κάνουν βόλτα μέσα στο πάρκο ειδικά αργά το απογευμα που εχεις κουραστει απ τις βολτες και βρισκεσαι μακρια απο την εξοδο του παρκου.

Good connections, easy to get on and off and especially useful in Cologne is the fact that the center is compact so you can also skip stops and walk to the next one yourself.

Bus good, driver very friendly, on time. It started to rain and the windows fogged up. Windshield wipers in the upper window would have been very helpful.

Very interesting, well organized and professionally conducted. Informative. Gladly again.
