Welcome to Cologne!
I am thrilled to be your personal city tour guide through this wonderfully vibrant city on the Rhine. As a passionate and humorous guide, it's my pleasure to showcase the highlights of Cologne with a hearty touch.
Cologne is a multicultural city with a fascinating history and a modern flair that attracts visitors from across the globe. My guided tours provide an opportunity to explore both the historical and modern aspects of this unique German city. You can journey on foot, by train, or bike - whichever you prefer.
My city tours are suitable for groups of 5 or more, as well as private groups or individuals. If you're interested in a combined, custom tour, I'm more than happy to cater to your special interests and needs. Be it a family event, company outing, birthday celebration, or tourist group, I will ensure the tour is an unforgettable experience.
As a multilingual tour guide, I offer my tours in a variety of languages, primarily English and German, to ensure that all information and anecdotes are easily understood.
Historical
Cologne's Old Town is a true treasure and an ideal starting point for city tours. As we wander through the meandering streets, I'll share with you the city's rich history, from its Roman roots to medieval times. You'll have the chance to discover historical buildings such as Romanesque churches, charming squares, and picturesque bridges, including the Love Lock Bridge.
Modern
Besides the old city hall in the Old Town and the Cologne Cathedral, we'll also explore Cologne's modern side. This includes the enchanting Südstadt and the diverse neighborhoods known as „Veedeln“. The city has emerged as a dynamic center for art, culture, and architecture. During our tour, I'll introduce you to modern buildings and significant architectural highlights that shape the city's skyline today.
Culinary
For culinary enthusiasts, my beer and brewery tours are a real treat. We'll visit traditional breweries where you can sample our unique local Kölsch beer and typical food. Learn more about the city's brewing traditions, enjoy the warm ambiance in our quaint pubs, and immerse yourself in the Cologne Carnival spirit.
Shopping / Souvenirs
If you're keen on shopping, I also offer shopping tours in the city center. We'll explore popular shopping streets, discover trendy boutiques, craft shops, and local stores. Here, you can find unique souvenirs like the world's oldest perfume, Farina, and experience Cologne's lively shopping scene.
Nightlife
If you're eager to experience Cologne's nightlife, I offer insights into the city's vibrant scene and its dynamic cultural offerings. Trendy neighborhoods, like the Belgian quarter or Zülpicher, or the „Cologne Rings“, offer a variety of bars, clubs, and cozy pubs to suit all musical tastes
