This was a very well organised friendly guided bike tour. Toby was excellent guide and we learned so much about the city of Cologne. It was so lovely to see the city as many locals do from a bike. We wished we had done it at the beginning of our stay as we visited places where we would of liked to of spent more time. Thank you again Toby & company Linda & Ian - Wales UK

Cologne: 3-Hour Guided Bike TourReviewed byLinda,22/09/2024

As a fellow tour guide, Alex was welcoming and informative. As a fellow human being, Alex was super cool and just really nice to be around. Overall it was really lovely <3 Kölsch has gained a fan for life i think

Cologne: Brewery Tour with 3 Kölsch Beer TastingsReviewed byBigginz,24/09/2024

Excellent way to visit Cologne. The tricycle can get anywhere needed easier than a car or bus, and can stop for pictures or anything as needed. Our conductor/driver was knowledgeable and entertaining.
