Perfect<\/strong>!<\/p>\n You’re only in town for a short time? Booked<\/strong>!<\/p>\n You love cycling? Made for you!<\/strong><\/p>\n You’d like a bit of inside scoop on Cologne? Come along, jump on our bikes and off you go on a Cologne sightseeing tour!<\/strong><\/p>\n From August 1, 2025, we start running the \u201cTOP 5\u201d every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at 2 p.m. as a public tour with an English-speaking tour guide.<\/strong><\/p>\n \n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” width=”83.5%” min_height=”600px” custom_margin=”244px|auto|-141px|-10px|false|false” custom_padding=”215px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” min_height=”600px” custom_margin=”-201px||-2px|||” custom_padding=”11px||0px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our tours start at the medieval city gate Eigelstein<\/strong>, which was once the northern entrance gate to Cologne. An unmissable highlight, and not just in the eponymous Eigelstein-Veedel! In the shadow of this imposing archway, we hop on our bikes and set off on our Cologne sightseeing tour.<\/p>\n We asked our guides and guests: what are your Cologne sightseeing highlights? And of course! The cathedral<\/strong> is among the favorites! Whether it’s the construction period, the architecture, the many little anecdotes or the history of the over one hundred sculptures or over 70 windows, Cologne Cathedral always fascinates its visitors and is certainly an ABSOLUTE MUST on any Cologne sightseeing tour!<\/p>\n The Hohenzollern Bridge<\/strong> is an ultimate eye-catcher every time you visit! Never counted, but often estimated, thousands of love locks shine on the railings of the bridge. And that’s not all! We can take THE BEST panoramic photo of Cologne from the bridgehead! So get your cameras ready.<\/p>\n The old town<\/strong>! Hmm, isn’t it full of tourists anyways? We don’t think so and for us the Alter Markt, Heumarkt, Fischmarkt, Rathaus, Stapelh\u00e4uschen and the Rhine promenade are simply part of our Cologne! Our guides know their way around the maze of little alleyways and are sure to know which brewery has the biggest pork knuckle and the coldest K\u00f6lsch.<\/p>\n Continue on to the Rheinau Harbour<\/strong>, where things look completely different again, with a mix of medieval walls, industrial history and super-modernity. Past the Chocolate Museum and the so-called Crane Houses, we take a relaxed stroll through the harbor and end our entertaining Cologne sightseeing tour along the Rhine.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Clearly! Our local, super-authentic guides<\/strong>, who not only know their way around Cologne’s streets and give you an interesting insight into the city’s development, but also throw in a funny anecdote every now and then to make you smile.<\/p>\n And they will also be happy to give you the odd brewery, ice cream, pizza or K\u00f6lsch recommendation to round off your Cologne sightseeing. Insider knowledge is guaranteed with us and there’s no chance of boredom on our guided bike tours!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n See you in Cologne!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \n \n <\/p>\n This tour is perfect …<\/strong><\/p>\n … for anyone arriving in Cologne on Friday: Hop off the plane or train and come straight to the Colonia Aktiv Shop! We will be happy to store your luggage in our office while you are on tour.<\/strong><\/p>\n … for anyone leaving Cologne late on Sunday afternoon: Enjoy a late and lazy breakfast, check out of your hotel or Air BnB, and take another leisurely bike ride before everyday life begins again on Monday morning.<\/strong><\/p>\n \n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Any News?!\u00a0 It’s been quiet here on our blog for a long time, and for a good reason: we’ve been working on our new guided Cologne sightseeing bike tour.
