You’ll also hear intriguing stories: Who was the “true Cologne lad”? Who invented Kölsch rock here? And how did the Orange People sect influence the neighbourhood and Cologne’s restaurant scene?
Perfect for visitors and locals alike, this tour offers culinary, cultural and historical surprises. No one leaves hungry, and no question goes unanswered. Afterwards, continue exploring Cologne or relax nearby with a coffee or beer.
