Enjoyable walk through the local history of Aachen

Paul_W, Dec 2024

We really enjoyed our tour. Our guide was punctual and gave us a detailed history of Aachen, Charlemagne's role there, and the overall history of the city. My friend on the tour is a history hobbyist and loved that our guide had such broad and deep knowledge such that she could answer his questions when he was trying to connect what she was saying about Aachen with the rest of the ancient and medieval worlds. The weather was not the best and yet our guide braved it with us to give us a great experience.

Fascinating history of Aachen. Lovely cathedral. Interesting to see the Roman origins and to learn about Charlemagne. Our guide was personable and knowledgeable.

Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We booked a 1 hour tour last minute. Glad it worked out. Quick tip for anyone looking to book a tour in Aachen. If you want to go upstairs in the cathedral and see the thrown of Charlemagne, then you need to book it through the cathedral’s visitor center. Our private guide was able to come inside the cathedral with us and explain everything on the ground floor, however he explained that only the guides from the visitor center are allowed to go upstairs to see Charlemagne’s thrown.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear Brian, Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a wonderful experience. If you're looking for more enriching experiences, we can assist you in booking an additional guided tour of the Cathedral. Just let us know! Tina
