Great tour with Ailyn!

Cologne Highlights 2h privat walking tour with own Tour Guide.
Mark_G, Sep 2026
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.

A great introduction to Cologne

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

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.

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!

Too expensive for the money.

Cologne: WWII History & EL-DE Haus Private Guided Tour
Lennart_V, Jun 2026
Too expensive for the money.
I think the price is too high for this activity, we paid more than 340 euros for 3 man in total. Which I think is all too much, actually thought there were some entrance tickets included in the price. It turned out that there was only the guide. 1,300 kr per hour I think is traction.

Wonderful and informative tour! Highly recommend!
We were 2 couples and enjoyed a wonderful tour with Aylin. Aylin was knowledgeable, answered all our questions and adjusted the pace to match our style- especially around the Cathedral. She insured everything was in place and was so pleasant and informative. We give Aylin and the tour 5 stars for sure. Highly recommend.
