Rhine River Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

This was the BEST tour!! Highly recommend!! Caroline, our guide, was truly incredible! She was informative, fun, friendly, and knowledgeable! We learned so much interesting history about Cologne as well as Caroline adding special stories with additional details! She was also incredibly kind and patient when additional questions were asked! The group experience was enjoyable and interactive! This tour is one of the best ways to explore the city while learning about this past.

This was the best guided activity we've done in Europe. The guide was informative, showed us interesting things, and I feel like I have a real appreciation for city that I wouldn't have got any other way.

Tim provided a terrific historical walking tour highlighting what happened during the lead up to and during WWII. Tim has a wealth of knowledge and my husband and I learned additional details from a perspective not presented in our textbooks. All this while getting to know more about the old part of Cologne before going around on our own. A fantastic value for anyone to consider Absolutely recommend Tim and this particular tour!! He made it so interactive and enjoyable!!

Tim was funny and informative! A good way to introduce you to Koln. Tim checked if anyone had questions.

Cameron was a great guide, creating a blend of the true dark side of Cologne with general history knowledge sharing. I would absolutely recommend this tour for anyone looking to learn more about some of the stories not told in the museums!

Great peaceful ride down the rhine

The ship is very good, stylish, and modern. The service staff is friendly and accommodating. The tour is very informative and yet relaxed. The captain had a very pleasant voice and she spoke very clearly. Everything was translated into English.

This audio package was easy to download and included clear maps, photos, and an interesting explanation of each stop. This is a great alternative if you want an interactive alternative to a cathedral tour.

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!

The Cologne food tour exceeded our expectations. We had a schedule conflict that almost caused us to cancel that morning but our guide was extremely flexible and adjusted the schedule for us on very short notice. We spent the day with a local who showed us around the city, pointing out interesting landmarks and leading us to several local spots to try food and beer unique to the city. It was a perfect day, we were able to explore and see parts of the city we never would’ve found on our own. The food and beer were amazing. Our guide made us feel like friends and customized the tour for our interests and accommodated dietary restrictions.

Very good. Value for money. 😃😃👍🏻👍🏻

It was a very hot day and it was just myself and my husband and our guide but this was not a problem- our guide was very friendly and greeted us with bottles of cold water- really interesting experience and we enjoyed the beer and the many food items- we were very full by the cheesecake visit but it was delicious so worth it! We definitely didn’t need dinner afterwards and had had lots to drink- great tour, highly recommend 😀

We had a fantastic bike tour with Sarah on our first afternoon in Cologne. She was really knowledgeable about the City and gave us lots of great tips. Highly recommend

We had a wonderful tour with Melanie, and it was a pleasure to meet her. We truly enjoyed the tour and especially appreciated the opportunity to visit some of the restaurants and see their beautiful architecture.She also gave us some great recommendations for our bike tour along the Moselle and mentioned a few places we should visit. We followed her recommendations and absolutely loved them!Many thanks to Melanie for the wonderful experience, and all the best!Best regards, Kai & Miriam

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Bonn. Our guide was very personable, cheerful, informative and gracious. We would definitely recommend both our guide and this walking tour.

Audio tour of Cologne Cathedral was really good. Lots of really interesting information, easy to follow & had a map & photos so you knew where you were going.
