"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!"

Amazing!!!
"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! "

Discovery Afternoon with Ross
"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."

Fun and tasty tour
"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. "
