We were very lucky with our tour guide. Thank you again dear Freddie. The tour was very well organized. A lot was said about Cologne and the Eigelstein and there was, of course, wine and small snacks at various points. The graduation at Ke Caveau was great.

The city tour was informative for the “locals” in the districts. Less so for others. The destination of the hike was a beautiful wine cellar and the wines were very well selected. Delicious and gladly again.
