Overview

Do you want to see Cologne through the eyes of locals, learning Cologne's important history but not being dragged through dry facts and numbers? How about finding hidden spots not even locals now about but help explain the attitude Cologne has had for generations? Maybe you want to understand why people here love their city so unconditionally despite its bizarre issues and blatant mismanagement?

We've got the tour for you. For the few hours we're together, we'll give you an understanding of what makes Cologne so unique, so loved by locals and expats alike, such a cheery place despites its exterior and the mistakes that cover the city (we'll talk about those too!) We'll help you understand the true Kölner Feeling, the Cologne Feeling that is contagious to all who incounter it.

Cologne Cathedral
  • 20m
The starting point of our tour, here you'll meet your guide and start with an introduction into the city of Cologne and what you can expect while visiting this loved city on the Rhine!

You'll also begin to learn what makes Cologne so much different than other German cities!
Hohenzollern Bridge

Also known as the Love Lock bridge, view the Cathedral from its most famous angle while learning the history of Cologne's most important bridge from the good to the bad. You'll also hear a little of Cologne's history of poor construction.
Fischmarkt
  • 10m
Visit Cologne's famous Fischmarket while hearing stories of the Rhein river and its importance to Cologne. With one of Cologne's most iconic views as a backdrop, here you'll learn what made the river both the greatest giver and taker of life in Cologne while making us a city larger than London for centuries.
