Sascha was a great guide. He texted us ahead of time with directions on how to find the meeting point easily, which had never happened to us before. During the tour, he was knowledgeable, his comments were informative, pertinent, and full of good humour. We had a great time. Thanks!

Cologne food and beer
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.

100 out of 5 stars – Street Art Tour Ehrenfeld with Beate
New York City
Street Art Tour Köln Ehrenfeld

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.

Great tour - plenty of food and drinks!
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 😀

Cologne Private Walking Tour with a Local
Rhonda_G, Aug 2026
A great introduction to Cologne
I booked this tour just the day before, after another operator cancelled. I was delighted to meet Nico, who was able to respond at short notice and give me a very tailored and personalised tour of Cologne. I got some insights into the key attractions in the centre of the city and some excellent recommendations for places to visit and to eat. It was great to see a city through the eyes of a local and to share a few drinks with a new friend. I was in Cologne just 48 hours, so it was valuable to be able to focus on the things of interest to me. Thanks Nico and Lokafy

3-Hour Cologne Street Art Bike Tour in Small Group with Guide

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deserves more than 5 stars!
Our bike tour through Cologne yesterday with our guide Christian was simply fantastic and really exceeded our expectations! 🚲❤️From the very first minute, the atmosphere was great. Christian is incredibly likable, humorous, and really knows Cologne inside and out. With his relaxed and warm manner, he not only showed us the well-known sights but also told us many interesting stories and little-known facts about the city. It was never boring at any time – quite the opposite: We saw a lot, learned a lot, and above all, laughed a lot!The tour was perfectly organized, the route was varied, and the pace was just right. We felt safe and in good hands at all times.For us, this bike tour was a real highlight and a wonderful way to get to know Cologne. We would book it again anytime and can recommend Christian as a guide without reservation!Thank you very much, Christian, for this great tour and the unforgettable day in Cologne! 🚲🥰 Absolute recommendation – 5 stars are actually not enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Dany & Jörg

How to get started in Cologne
The city is centered on the Kölner Dom - the Cologne Cathedral. Sophia was very knowledgeable about the city and history of the cathedral. Her advice on how to tour the inside of the Cathedral was spot on and I would have missed the opportunity to get the most out of my visit. Our discussion was very informative and enjoyable.

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!

Tour of Cologne - Ralph brought it to life!
Ralph was highly personable and friendly. Customized the tour based on my questions and interests. He not only shared key facts, but did so in a way that "made it real". (e.g. taking me to a specific street corner and sharing photos of the events that unfolded on that very corner in WW2. So IMPACTFUL!) Overall, Ralph was fantastic and I look forward to returning to Cologne and talking with Ralph again! Highly recommend!
