About the Activity
Cologne is a city best explored through the eyes of locals. Much of what makes this city special, isn't something you can find if you wander the streets alone. We want to show you what makes Cologne the most beloved city in Germany. We'll give you the Kölner Gefühl - the Cologne Feeling - that makes this city tick. From deep love for our Cathdral, our beer, our Karneval, to tragic pasts and problematic construction, learn the real Cologne. This tour will show you the version everyone in this city wants you to see as well as our regrettable pieces sometimes hidden to those who visit. On the tour, we guarantee you'll leave understanding this quirky, strange city better, loving the town for what it is and understanding where it came from. Come visit Cologne with the best guides around and fall in love with Kölle for yourself.2 hours 30 minutes
