Great tour with Ailyn!
We were in Cologne for a couple of days and had a great time with Ailyn. She struck a really nice balance of history, cultural, and architectural stories and facts, all of which we had expressed an interest in and learned a lot about the city from her. She seemed really flexible and comfortable discussing a wide array of topics, which is always really cool on these sorts of tours. Very easy to communicate with as well.

Amazing tour - definitely worth it
Amazing tour and I learnt so much about Colonge and it's history. Tim was a patient and informed guide, with a passion for history. Tim mentioned the tour may discontinue if there aren't enough numbers, which is such a shame as it's such a special tour. I highly recommend!

100 out of 5 stars – Street Art Tour Ehrenfeld with Beate
New York City
Street Art Tour Köln Ehrenfeld
Inspire15325791392, Aug 2026
100 out of 5 stars – Street Art Tour Ehrenfeld with Beate
I live as an Immi in Cologne-Ehrenfeld and honestly thought: I actually already know my neighborhood pretty well. Precisely for that reason, my wife and I – after a few really convincing recommendations from friends – spontaneously signed up for this street art tour weeks ago. And what can I say: That was one of the best decisions in a long time.Right from the start, Beate created an atmosphere that you cannot “book” – you bring that with you. She does not just lead, she carries the group: with knowledge, humor, attitude, heart, and a charisma that makes you automatically want to listen. I really haven't experienced a person in a long time who can tell stories so well, while at the same time having so much knowledge and yet zero “lecture mode” – but simply approachable, clear, enthusiastic.And yes: I walk past here all the time. I knew many motifs, corners, and walls by sight – but Beate suddenly imbued it all with meaning. Suddenly you understand why something is there, what is behind it, who is speaking (or has sprayed), and how Ehrenfeld has told its story on its walls over the years. I learned so much about my own neighborhood today – and that feels special somehow: as if you were getting to know your home all over again, just with a better perspective.Bonus moment of the day: the spontaneous, small wine tasting at Immi on Körnerstraße. And learned something else: Immi means “imitate” – not “immigrate.” Exactly such details make the tour so charming: It is not just street art, it is Ehrenfeld you can touch.Bottom line: I would not give 5 stars. I would give 100 out of 5 stars. For me, Beate is an absolute exceptional guide whom I completely celebrate. Anyone who loves Ehrenfeld (or wants to learn to love it) should take this tour – and specifically with her.100 points. Thank you, Beate.

Worth the visit for beer in Cologne!
We had a super enjoyable time on our beer tour. My husband’s favorite German style beer is Kolsch so we made a special stop in Cologne on our Europe trip. We visited 4 brewhouses and learned a lot about the history of Cologne while enjoying great conversation with our tour guide!

Great tour of a beautiful place. The guide was very engaged and adapted wonderfully to us. We even saw a buzzard up close in Melaten, which delighted and surprised her just as much as it did us. Very informative, but not a single minute was pretentious or boring. Absolutely recommendable!
