The tour with our guide Lukas was excellent. He knew his way around, had funny anecdotes to tell us and really introduced us to the Belgian quarter and the culture around Kölsch and Büdchen. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great tour! We are from Frankfurt and have given this tour to a friend who has lived in Cologne for 2 years. As non-residents of Cologne, we learned a lot of interesting things and we had a lot of fun on the tour. Our guide Kira was very nice and knowledgeable. The other participants are likeable. All in all, a great tour.

The guide made the tour entertaining and very pleasant.

Peter gave us an informative insight into Cologne's Büdchen - Kiosk world as part of the booked book tour. The whole thing in the Belgian Quarter. There was information not only about the booths and Büdchen culture, but also about other highlights on the tour route. Peter then accompanied us to the old town for a few Kölsch drinks after the work was done. It was nice.
