What are people saying about Cologne

Mark_G, Sep 2026

Great tour with Ailyn!

We were in Cologne for a couple of days and had a great time with Ailyn. She struck a really nice balance of history, cultural, and architectural stories and facts, all of which we had expressed an interest in and learned a lot about the city from her. She seemed really flexible and comfortable discussing a wide array of topics, which is always really cool on these sorts of tours. Very easy to communicate with as well.

Mandy_B, Aug 2026

Worth the visit for beer in Cologne!

We had a super enjoyable time on our beer tour. My husband’s favorite German style beer is Kolsch so we made a special stop in Cologne on our Europe trip. We visited 4 brewhouses and learned a lot about the history of Cologne while enjoying great conversation with our tour guide!

The Legendary Kölsch Brewery Tour

Arsenio_C, Aug 2026

Great Brewery Tour

Izzy was a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable about the different places and history of the beers and beer houses. Also, I had some train issues and was late to the beginning of the tour. The tour operator was responsive in directing me to where I would be able to find the group. Thanks for a great time with a great group of fellow travelers!

Corey_S, Jul 2026

A Good tour of downtown Cologne

It was a good tour. The guide had lots of interesting info to share, and took us around to some pretty cool spots. He explained a ton of history as we walked as well. He was great with the whole group too. I would recommend bringing and umbrella for shade though, but that's more about Cologne than this tour specifically.

Cologne Highlights, Stories, and Local Atmosphere Tour

Danielle_G, Jul 2026

Fun and informative.

Our guide Sander was great. He taught us a lot of interesting facts about Cologne and ended the tour with a fun Carnival tradition. It is time well spent to learn about the interesting history of Cologne. You will be on the lookout for bananas on buildings after the tour and will have an understanding of their purpose. Sander also gave us a recommendation for potato pancakes near the tour end. We enjoyed the snack after.

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: WWII History & EL-DE Haus Private Guided Tour

William_W, Feb 2026

Very Informative World War Two Experience

We learned a great deal Michael, a highly knowledgeable historian and longtime resident of Koln. We saw some of the few remaining examples of the effects from the war and learned that the city was over 80% destroyed by an infamous RAF bombing attack in 1942. We were especially impressed by the fact that the famous Dom (Cathedral) was able to restored to its present glory. We also learned about how the Jewish people and other opponents of the repressive regime suffered and how they are now being remembered.

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
