See Köln from an insider’s perspective via Rickshaw!

Bracken_K, Jul 2025
Victor was a real gem! He knew the Altstadt of Cologne incredibly well. He took us on a route that covered much of the region and was well acquainted with the local customs and people. He even included some surprising special touches which made the entire experience a great value for the cost.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you very much Bracken for your nice review !

Wonderful tour with Nicholas

Lecia_C, Jul 2025
Nicholas was the perfect guide. Starting with showing up on time. He took us on the advertised route plus much more. We didn't feel rushed either. I would highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks a lot for wonderful feedback.

Ask for Victor

Mary_D, Jul 2025
Victor was our driver for this adventure. I would highly recommend him. Right off the bat he said he would tailor the ride around our interests while at the same time he showed us the highlights of the city. He was very accommodating and easy to understand. He picked us up where our Viking ship docked, showed us the sights and gave us some free time to get a meal and shop. He came back to take us to the ship when we were finished. So easy!!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

I very appreciate your feedback dear Mary, Thanks a lot !!

Best way to travel!Bravo Victor!

Maurice_L, May 2025
Avoid walking for 30 min. (each way!) from cruise ship to city center. Viktor was super in e every way. Highly recommended! Worth every penny.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you very much for the feedback Maurice !!

Wonderfully overview

michelle_c, May 2025
Very informative and accommodated all questions. From Grandparents to teens, all 6 of us plus our dog loved it!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Nice family and the time together, Thanks for your words !!

Superlative experience

Dusty_T, May 2025
Probably the best tour of our 30 day trip. Our driver/guide Victor was a joy who obviously enjoys his work. He started by asking for things we knew we wanted to see and customizing our path accordingly, whisking us around the city like the expert he is. He even recommended a fabulous restaurant where we ate that night. Two thumbs up for City Tour per Rikscha and Victor.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thanks for the feedback dear Dusty !!

Best day ever

Peter_D, May 2025
Victor was entertaining and infectiously happy. The way he positioned his rickshaw among the crowds was masterful. We would have rented more time but he had another appointment

Response from Host, May 2025

Thanks Peter for your nice feedback. Wish you all the best !!!

Victor- what a loving human being he is

Hetal_S, Apr 2025
We had absolute superb cologne tour with victor- he was very smart - spontaneous could understand what we want - we had really great time with him- highly recommend him to those going to cologne

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you very much dear Hetal for your feedback ! have a great time and see you soon !!!

Great tour with an amazing guide!

sigentry, Mar 2025
Amazing tour. We were never rushed or hurried. We were able to see most of old town Cologne, visit the fragrance shop of Cologne and enjoy time in the cathedral. Victor had lots of knowledge of the entire area and even maps to help us better understand. He gave us options on what to see based upon our preferences. I highly recommend this tour. If you are on a river cruise, he will pick you up and drop you off RIGHT at the dock of your ship. Don't miss this

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you very much for the review !

Great private tour with a personal touch

Diana_G, Nov 2024
Victor was very knowledgeable engaging prompt (when picking us up), very pleasant, made experience amazing; I was a little skeptical because of the weather, but Victor gave us blankets and one hour was perfect enough; we saw beautiful parts of town that you can’t go on a bus tour

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Tolle Rikscha-Fahrt durch Köln!

thomas_r, Feb 2025
Der Reiseführer hat sehr gute Kenntnisse über die Geschichte und Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt Köln und hat diese sehr interessant erzählt. Bei Nachfragen hat er sofort reagiert und weitere Informationen gegeben. Als wir noch ein paar Sehenswürdigkeiten sehen wollten, die in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Fahrrute lagen, hat er uns auch dort hingefahren und einen kurzen Stopp gemacht. Er war sehr freundlich und uns hat diese Fahrt viel Spass gemacht . Obwohl es sehr kalt war, hat er uns gut mit Decken eingepackt. Die Sonne kam dann doch noch hervor, sodass es ein schöner Tag in Köln war. Gerne wieder mit diesem Kollegen. Viele Grüße Thomas Reiner

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Vielen Dank die Bewertung lieber Thomas, immer wieder gerne. Lg

Perfekt!

Melanie_H, Aug 2024
Victor war ein tolles Führer. Äußerst sympathisch und sehr kompetent. Es gab noch eine Überraschung und wir würden - als Kölner - jederzeit wieder bei ihm buchen!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Vielen Dank Melanie, immer wieder gerne !
