Visiting
Cologne the first time or returning here after long time ago?
If so and you're a travel group, we recommand booking
and joining a guided tour into Cologne's breathtaking
cathedral that is the largest one in the world. Afterwards
your guide leads you into the old town near the river rhine
where you can see and feel how lovely this place of 2000
years' history really is. Another focus lying on the city's
most popular beer called "Kölsch" is part of our
brewery pub tour where we show you some nice locations and
their history. Try and taste some of the specialities of the
menu card and feel like home in Cologne. Our third programme
is walking through the old town like mentioned above and
continue this tour by a roundtrip on the river rhine. Breath
the fresh air on deck of the ship and be impressed of the
unforgetable view on Cologne's landmarks and sights on both
sides of the river bank. more
