Germany · COLOGNE TOURS
The cathedral is the first thing you see leaving the station and the last thing you stop looking at. These 15 pair it with the Kölsch houses of the old town and an hour on the Rhine, each priced and honest about the walking.
Ride a Rhine panoramic cruise in Cologne for $23. See the cathedral and bridges from the water, with German and English audio plus onboard drinks.
“Great boat trip giving excellent views of the waterfront”
Taste 3 Kölsch beers on a guided brewery walk through Cologne’s old town, starting by the cathedral, with legends and great stories.
“We thought the tour, with “Cheerleader Felix” as our guide, was great. It was fun, informative, and included tasty Kolsch. In addition, we really enjoyed getting to know some of our other tour participants as we traveled from brewery to brewery. Highly recommend!”
A 90-minute Rhine cruise in Cologne with recorded English and German commentary, Cathedral views, Rheinauhafen cranes, and 5 bridges.
“The tour was enjoyable! With a good selection of refreshments on board. We really enjoyed it and the scenery is great. Only downside is the boat gets busy so we could not really hear the guide. However, there was a stag party next to us. Not complaining though it was great!”
Explore 5,000 years of chocolate history at Cologne’s Schokoladenmuseum, with factory views, hand-making demos, and lots of tasting.
“Amazing! Got to learn all about where chocolate comes from and how it is made. You then get to see exactly how they make some of their chocolate. You also get lots of free chocolate throughout the experience which is a nice touch. Quite cheap for everything you get to see/do/eat as well.”

Step into Cologne’s IceBar for 3 included drinks, warm winter gear, and Cathedral ice sculptures, all in a fast 1-hour cold-time slot.
“Cool and interesting! We got a cocktail in the bar before we went through to the ice room, very cosy atmosphere. It was only the two of us in our time slot which was 4 o clock on a Sunday for reference. The ice room was quite small which is the only reason this review isn’t 5 stars. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the drinks were tasty. You get a token for a free drink in the bar before the ice room and 2 tokens for free drinks in the ice room itself. If there was more people in with us we probably would have stayed longer…”
