Overview

This isn’t just a food tour—it’s a journey through Cologne’s soul, guided by a true local. Your host, Falke, was born and raised in Cologne and brings the city’s stories to life with passion, humor, and insider knowledge you won’t find in any guidebook.

From the shadow of the Kölner Dom to the creative corners of the Belgian Quarter, you’ll explore 2,000 years of history while tasting your way through the city’s evolving food scene. Enjoy traditional dishes like Reibekuchen and goulash, savor a Berlin-style Döner, and sample Kölsch beer the way locals do—served by a Köbes in a classic Brauhaus.

What makes it even better? All food and drinks are included, so you can relax, sip, and savor without worry. With small group sizes, authentic flavors, and a born-and-bred Cologne guide, this tour is your chance to connect with the real city—through its stories, streets, and unforgettable tastes.
