Overview
Do you want to see Cologne through the eyes of locals, learning Cologne's important history but not being dragged through dry facts and numbers? How about finding hidden spots not even locals now about but help explain the attitude Cologne has had for generations? Maybe you want to understand why people here love their city so unconditionally despite its bizarre issues and blatant mismanagement?
We've got the tour for you. For the few hours we're together, we'll give you an understanding of what makes Cologne so unique, so loved by locals and expats alike, such a cheery place despites its exterior and the mistakes that cover the city (we'll talk about those too!) We'll help you understand the true Kölner Feeling, the Cologne Feeling that is contagious to all who incounter it.
