Overview

There is a lot to discover on our tour through Germany's fourth largest city, the so-called "Jewel of the Rhein River". Besides telling you the most curious stories and the most important facts to turn you into a Cologne know-it-all, we will also offer you the most fun culinary suggestions: from bretzels in nice cafés to beer in the most amazing local breweries!
During your tour, we share funny legends and anecdotes with you.

Walk through the old town of Cologne and discover more than 2000 years of history, the most interesting hidden corners of the city and talk about the impressive cathedral! Who was Agrippina, one of the most feared women in Roman history in the eyes of the world but the most appreciated by the inhabitants of this city? Why does the Lindt Chocolate company have a super famous museum in the city despite being a Swiss company? What does Napoleon have to do with Cologne? And have you ever wondered if the Eau de Cologne you wear has something to do with our city?
