Too Long, Too Large a Group, Too Much "Personal" Preference Reference by Guide

Leslie_P, Oct 2025

We were disappointed by this tour (1st time out of over 20 Viator European tours). The price point was fair (we elected the e-bikes); greeted kindly and professionally upon arrival. Unfortunately, we had 12 in our group, us two and a work group of 10. Our guide, while sweet and informative spent far too much time at each of her desired stops and due to there being 12 of us total on bikes in a busy city environment with the normal city distractions, there was no way for us to hear her speaking. Several of the stops were not what we considered "art" stops (stickers all over a city wall) and then staying there 10 minutes observing what the stickers said. There were a few stops and "too long" discussions that we felt were not even art related. Our guide Lisa spent too much time sharing her political position, nonetheless her personal art preferences and opinions and which "stickers" or paintings "she" liked best and why/why not she liked them or how they spoke to her. It was also rather difficult to navigate the BUSY city streets, people walking and driving in Cologne with 12 bikes! If this tour was done with a max 6 bikes, fewer irrelevant stops and far less "personalization" to the narratives ~ it could be an outstanding bike tour of fun wall art in Cologne and be a 2-hour tour easily vs 3 hours.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hi Leslie, thank you for your honest feedback. We take the opinions of all our guests very seriously and always strive to improve our tours. Our street art tour shows Cologne from a different perspective, away from the usual tourist trails, and sharpens the eye for the special features, little details, and themes that tend to be out of the picture on a classic city tour. We're sorry to hear that the tour didn't quite meet your expectations and that cycling through the busy city was a bit challenging. Nevertheless, we hope that you have fond memories of Cologne and that you had a pleasant stay here. Let us know if you're ever back in town, we'd love to show you other sides of the city from the saddle. Kind regards from the Colonia Aktiv Team

Well travelled

Christian was a great guide and showed passion about his knowledge. We got to see parts of Cologne we would not have thought about

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted that Christian's passion and expertise added value to your tour, revealing hidden gems in Cologne. We hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable explorations!

Engaging activity with teens

Brittany_A, Jul 2023

We were looking for a different type of tour to engage our two teens while in Cologne. The bike tour was perfect! We were able to see a lot more of the city than a walking tour. Our guide (former police officer) was engaging and knowledgeable. The best part was that our daughter was able to find a keychain that was placed there by one of the street artists. It made her day!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your great review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour with our knowledgeable Guide and also, the wonderful piece of art that your daughter has found!
