What are people saying about Cologne

Kayce_H, Jun 2026

It was very interesting!...

Despite the sweltering summer heat, our guide kept the tour engaging, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. We learned so much about the city’s history, architecture, and local culture—things we never would have discovered on our own. We also got recommendations for local restaurants and hidden gems. We ended up eating at one of the places our guide suggested, and it was fantastic! It made us feel like we were experiencing the city the way locals do. If you’re visiting and want an authentic, fun, and educational experience, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you for making our time here so memorable!

The Legendary Kölsch Brewery Tour

Charles_R, Jun 2026

Good Beer, Grand Company, Great Guide

I only had an afternoon to spend in Köln this time and I couldn’t have made a better choice. Learning about the brewing style and history behind Kölsch as well as several insights into the city from its relationship with Düsseldorf to the friendliness of the people living in Köln was truly remarkable. (One exception may be the Köbes, the servers in the Brauereis and Braühaus). We do try several different beers and even went back to have dinner at one (it was my favorite). If you only have an afternoon or a day in the city, I cannot recommend a better way to experience it with a little bit of fun.

Delightful afternoon learning the Koln beer culture.

We had a wonderful experience on the beer tour with Alisja! We learned the beer etiquette here in Koln and enjoyed the varieties. All the best to Alisja - it was a simple pleasure to get to know her during the course of the tour and we will always remember her anytime we enjoy a cold Kolsche.

Cologne Food and Kolsch Tasting Walking Tour

Robert_G, Apr 2026

Highly recommend this Cologne tour!

Our guide was fantastic—informative, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the city. They provided so much interesting information about Cologne’s rich history, vibrant culture, delicious local food, and of course, the famous Kolsch-style beer that originates right here in Cologne. I learned so many fun facts I never would have known otherwise, and the way the guide explained everything made it engaging and easy to follow. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or someone who’s been to Cologne before, this tour is absolutely worth it. We left feeling like we truly understood the soul of the city. If you’re visiting Cologne, do yourself a favor and book this tour. You won’t regret it!

Cologne Highlights, Stories, and Local Atmosphere Tour

Aj_S, Jan 2026

Guide Amber was...

Guide Amber was phenomenal: passionate about Cologne's 2,000-year history from Roman roots to WWII resilience, blending facts with hilarious stories and local trivia like hidden gems at the Domplatz and Hohenzollern Bridge. The pace was comfortable (even in the cold), with stops for photos, Kölsch beer tips, and questions – felt like chatting with a knowledgeable friend

Cologne Christmas Market and Kölsch Beer Small-Group Tour

Marina_M, Dec 2025

A must do

It was my first night in Cologne and figured, this will be a great way to start my trrip. Well, I wasn't wrong. We were quite a small group, 3 people in total, plus our guide Jenz. That just contributed the the atmosphere of the tour. It felt like being out with friends and enjoying the night. As it was quite crouded, Jenz offered to skip the main Christmas market and visit few smaller ones. Well, that was the right call. We saw Santas on motorbikes, live entertainment and tasted some delicious gluhwein. And the markets we visited were beutiful and each one a bit different from the previous one. Plus Jenz was great at sharing all kinds of historical and funny facts. Definitely recommend this tour
