Description

Come explore Cologne with us! Over our 2.5 hours, you'll get to know the inside information on what makes Cologne such a special place in Germany. Get to know why Cologne people like the number 11, why is Cologne called “the most northern city of Italy” and why we're such a welcoming place!

On our Free Walking Tour, we'll show you some of the main sights, teach you about the roots of the city, and learn why people from Cologne do not fulfill the German stereotypes you've heard before. Our tour is not just the dry history of Cologne. We'll give you the true Kölsche Jeföhl (the Cologne Feeling)!

My first-ever walking tour experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Izzy was friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining, making learning about Cologne’s history so enjoyable. He made everyone feel welcome and shared lots of interesting stories along the way. A fantastic first experience – highly recommend the Classic Cologne Free Tour with Izzy! ????
