Highly recommended tour

Liana_P, Jul 2026

Despite the scorching heat, I have really enjoyed discovering this beautiful city on this fantastic walking tour. Our lovely host was very friendly and knowledgeable, I’ve found out so much about Cologne.

Waste of money

Christina_H, Jun 2026

Tour guide requested we change the schedule to accommodate her schedule then the tour guide was very late and even cut the tour early. Basically a 2 hour tour turned in to a little more than an hour. She really didn’t know a lot about the history of the city as she’s only lived here a few years.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Christina, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. The schedule adjustment was requested in advance and accepted in order to ensure that the tour could still take place. Regarding the duration, tours may occasionally vary slightly depending on operational circumstances and the pace of the group. However, we take your comments seriously and will review them with the guide. We would also like to note that our guides are selected based on their knowledge, training, and ability to lead tours, regardless of how long they have lived in the city. Thank you for sharing your experience, as it helps us continue improving our tours. Have a nice day!

Not worth the value

The guide did not speak very good english and was hard to understand. Her knowledge of Cologne's history was vague. We felt a self guided tour would have been more informative. Not worth the value.

Good tour to see in Cologne. Anu was very polite and professional. Had knowledge on all points of interest. Took our picture at sights.

False advertising tour

Hyung_K, May 2026

This was not a good tour. It lasted only 45 mins and did not match the description. A few things were also left out from the itinerary. I contacted the tour operator and of course heard nothing back from them. It genuinely feels like a scam and I urge travelers to look elsewhere for a tour.
