The meeting point was very easy to find thanks to GPS. We were more than 20 people and were guided by the lovely and competent Melanie, first at an easy pace to interesting spots in the old town, and then quickly led into the cathedral, where we first listened to her stories while seated, and later she showed us around. Afterwards, we had the option to climb up to the roof of the two side wings on our own, for an extra entrance fee, via roughly 136 steps of a narrow spiral staircase, and enjoy the fantastic view. Overall, a great and, thanks to Melanie, humorous experience, definitely worth a little extra tip, and highly recommended for young and old alike.

A charismatic tour guide gave us a wonderful overview of the old town and cathedral in 90 minutes. The tour was super easy to manage with a walker.

The tour was good, the weather not quite merciful. Unfortunately, the tour guide's accent was so strong that it was very hard to follow the content and understand everything. We're glad we took the tour.

I had made a reservation in French, but only English and German were available. Luckily, we're bilingual.
