Ross Rocked our tour!
"Ross did an absolutely amazing job as our guide on our Tasting Tour of Cologne! His personality is perfect as a guide and his range of knowledge was fantastic. The food and beer we sampled was delicious. Would highly recommend Ross as your guide for Cologne!"

Wonderful day in Koln
"We spent a day in Koln with Ross, an amazing tour guide, and got to explore the history of the city, with a taste for local food, culture and Kölsch. I highly highly recommend this service to anyone (German or not) visiting this wonderfully rich city. Ross, thank you for a beautiful trip and day."

Recommended Tour
"We recently booked an English tour of the brewhouses in Cologne for my visiting family. It was fantastic! Ross, our guide, was wonderful explaining all the aspects of Kölsch beer and culture. The tour was comfortably paced and informative. I work as a city guide in Cologne and was very pleased to learn new information about a city I know intimately. I must add that this is an entertaining tour about and for Kölsch beer. However it is not about drinking in excess. Highly Recommended"

Great Time With Ross
"Great tour old-town, the history of Koln and of course beers! Make sure you bring plenty of cash. Maybe buy some Kolsch glasses to take home for friends"

Private & Personalized Tours in Cologne with a Local
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Cologne, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Cologne spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Cologne.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Cologne, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Cologne awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Cologne, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Cologne. Get ready to explore like a local!
