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.

    Activity name

    City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.
