The bike tour was a nice way to get to know Cologne. Our guide Addie was a Cologne original with great historical knowledge and charming, Cologne humor. The tour was very entertaining and ran e.g. T. off the beaten track. We saw idyllic squares and parks and of course the lively old town on our little trip. The wheels were clean and in good shape. Conclusion: The bike tour is highly recommended and with Addie as guide also very entertaining.
Best introduction to the city

Thank you for the best 3 hours Sarah! Only 4 in our group in midweek and Sarah was the perfect guide taking us to places we would never have found or understood as being significant if it hadn’t been for our guide. Lots of funny stories & anecdotes combined with the city’s fascinating history. A really really great way to appreciate the city as the locals want you to appreciate it. Highly recommend

This was an outstanding tour with our guide Christian. The focus of the tour was on what the city is like and what it means (and has meant) to the people who live there. A fair amount of history was included, but as it directly relates to the life and culture of the city. Christian also dealt with sensitive topics (e.g., Nazism and the Holocaust) in a critical and thoughtful way, and several of the sites where we stopped related to these events. He was also very personable and knowledgeable, as well as being responsive to the needs and interests of group members. I highly recommend this tour.
