“The tour provided so little content, no way in hell was it worth 34 euro. At best it was worth 6. The stops were not thought out and literally one of the stops and its related question was at a dunkin donuts? For that kind of sham product placement I want my money back. The texts were so bland, and there were spelling errors. Some "highlights": "the church is highly detailed, which can be rare", "People love to shop. this street is great for shopping", "see what's on the square's 'roof'" (a square doesn't have a roof), "this is cologne's smallest mall". Friggin pathetic.”
