We were looking for...

Published on Jan, 2025

We were looking for something to do on New Year’s Day whilst most things were closed and this was perfect. Got to see some hidden gems in Cologne that you wouldn’t have otherwise come across and the app is really easy to use once you get used to the voice directions. Would recommend to anyone that would rather take a tour at their own pace.

Interesting Köln Roman History

Published on Aug, 2024

I really enjoyed learning about the Roman history of Köln with extra information that I wouldn’t have had if not for the tour. Highly recommended!

Surprising

Published on Apr, 2024

I live in cologne for almost 30 years and there were a few things I didn't know.. like the Höherstraße and the Gürzenich

This tour put what I saw into context

Published on Jan, 2024

Thank you for the history to at helped me understand what I saw when I walked around Cologne. So many layers of history!

Great little walking tour

Published on Oct, 2023

Really enjoyed this great little walking tour, I wish it would have been even longer. The walking instructions worked great, although I had to check the GPS location in the app frequently. The commentator and creator has done an excellent job as well.
