Greta time. - 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.

Enjoyable walk in Aachen centre - This was a really nice walking tour in the heart of Aachen, our 2 hours flew by, our guide had all kind of interesting stories, legends old or more recent about the city from its Roman start to today. My (young adult) son enjoyed it too
