Original funky fun tour of Cologne
Overview
The Original Funky Free Cologne Walking Tour is a fun & relaxed experience through the historic heart of Cologne. Unlike a typical city tour, we combine over 2,000 years of history with funny local stories, legends, anecdotes and hidden corners that bring Cologne to life. Our local guides make history easy to follow while showing you the city.
Starting in Cologne’s Old Town, we explore the stunning Cologne Cathedral, historic squares, vibrant markets and the famous Rhine riverfront. Also discover how Cologne grew from a Roman Empire city through the Middle Ages into the lively city it is today. You’ll also hear about local culture, Kölsch beer and some of the best places to eat, drink and explore.
Our Tour is perfect for travelers who want to discover the city, meet new people and enjoy history without a dry lecture. Join us for a relaxed walk through Cologne’s best-known sights and hidden gems, led by passionate local guides. Book your free spot to discover Cologne with us!
