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.

An Unforgettable Wine Experience with Carl at Grape Escapes

Sip Wine Along the Rhine! Romantic Rhein & Castle Wineries tour

An Unforgettable Wine Experience with Carl at Grape Escapes
Our wine tour with Carl at Grape Escapes was one of the highlights of our time in Frankfurt. From the moment he picked us up at our hotel until he dropped us off at the end of the day, everything was seamless, relaxed, and exceptionally well organized.Carl is an incredibly knowledgeable sommelier who took the time to understand our wine preferences. Knowing that we already enjoyed Pinot wines, he carefully selected wineries and tastings that matched our tastes while also encouraging us to explore local specialties. What impressed us most was how he introduced us to the region's Rieslings. By the end of the tour, we had developed a genuine appreciation and love for Rieslings that we never expected before the trip.Carl's passion for wine, deep knowledge of the region, and ability to make the experience both educational and enjoyable made the day truly memorable. We enjoyed the tour so much that we actually wanted to book a second tour before leaving Frankfurt, but unfortunately, we couldn't coordinate the schedules of the rest of our group.If I ever find myself back in Frankfurt, even if it's only for a single day, booking another tour with Carl will be at the top of my to-do list. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic, personalized, and unforgettable wine experience.

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 😀

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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

Wine tasting with a tour guide that you cannot have anything but a fun time
Carl was a very fun tour guide that started off and finished our day with a bottle of sparkling wine. We went to 3 different Reisling wineries and tasted many different variations of Reisling and had a yummy meal in the middle. He was even able to accommodate my wheat alergy. We had a small fun group and a lot of laughs.

Great and interesting tour with knowledgeable guide
We had a really pleasant trip with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. The information provided was interesting and it was nice to get to know a bit more about the soul of the city and the reason for why the city is as it is, and not just a walkthrough of the historical events and dates. I can highly recommend this tour.

Although we knew Cologne, we were able to broaden our horizons on this tour. To experience Cologne from a different perspective. To experience street art not as an art form but as part of an ever-evolving society was a pleasure for us. Thanks for the - subjective - insights into this great city.
