Itinerary

  • Schildergasse (Pass By)

    The pedestrian street is 500 meters long and is a wonderful mix of modern, and Roman architectures. Said to be the busiest shopping street in Europe, we'll be walking by its wonders: the Atoniterkirche church, or the Weltstadthaus contemporary building, designed by Renzo Piano.

  • Duftmuseum im Farina-Haus

    Also known as the Farina Fragrance Museum, it is the oldest fragrance factory and the birthplace of Eau de Cologne. We will travel back in the Rococo Era to learn the astonishing production methods of perfume, but also the history of the original Eau de Cologne.

    35 minutes

  • Historic Town Hall (Pass By)

    It is time to walk by the oldest city hall in Germany. Founded in the 12th century, the Renaissance style monument is the home of the mayor and the city government. The City Hall is composed of a Gothic-style tower of 61 meters high, a Renaissance-style external corridor, a piazzeta and a spanisher bau. Those various design styles make the building unique.

  • N/A

    The church is a wonderful example of Medieval architecture. Founded in the 10th century on the remains of a Roman chapel, the building has been built and rebuilt many times. The Great St. Martin Church went by many Baroque and Classical influences.

    20 minutes

  • N/A

    The Cologne Chocolate Museum is an experience in Chocolate history from the Maya period to our present day. Several attractions are waiting for you there: the palm house composed of cacao trees, a 3-meter-high chocolate fountain, and small versions of the machines used in the creation of chocolate.

    45 minutes

  • Hohenzollern Bridge (Pass By)

    Built between 1907 and 1911, it was one of the most important bridges during World War II in Germany. Since 1948, it has become a tied arch bridge surrounded by four beautiful equestrian statues representing Prussian kings and German Emperors.

  • N/A

    The Cathedral is a World Heritage Site since 1996, and a famous monument of Gothic architecture. With the largest façade and the tallest twin-spired in the world, the Cologne Cathedral is considered as a masterpiece in all Christian Monument History.

Cologne tour with Aylin

Published on Dec, 2019

Aylin was a delightful guide for us in Cologne. We were able to see all the sights we wanted and even got to climb the south tower of the Cathedral. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and her company!

Excellent tour

Really enjoyed the city tour and the trip to the symphony since it was on a Thursday and they have a free half hour concert. The church is amazing!!

Too good to be true

Aylin our wandurful tour guid took us on a four hour city tour. Not only was she kind, generous and efficient, but she was also great at giving us ideas for things to do on the following day. She is well informed and made us fall in love with the city. The stories she told will stay with us forever. It would be impossible to imagine Cologne, without having done this tour. It was the highlight of our trip. Also i would like to add that we have booked this tour tour with viator and everytime we were directed to this company based in India. We were surprised but then we found out that they only use local guides. They were really professional and answered every e-mail right away. They even adjusted the meeting point when we asked. Before every tour they would send us a reminder along with pictures of the meeting point. And they did a great job. We were really impressed.
