Pure infotainment, highly recommended - We had a very entertaining tour with Sebastian - that was pure infotainment, well balanced between information, stories and personal. From the Romans to cathedral construction, 4711 and the fish women to the Krienkopfn, characters and Kölsch, everything was there and much more. Time flew by. Absolutely recommended, thank you Sebastian.

Again and again! - The guide was very friendly, extremely informative, responded to questions and adapted the tour very well to our small group of only 3 people.
Of course, she also pointed out all Kölschen special features and also had anecdotes about them.

Little voyage of discovery! - Went on an adventure in and around the breathtaking Dom (October 2020). The guide knew how to tell a lot of nice details that make you look at the city very differently. I will definitely go back on my own.
