Fun way to learn about Köln - Florian was an awesome and funny guide who walked and talked us through the history and culture of Köln. We really liked how comprehensive the tour was, spanning history, customs and also the modern and multicultural aspects of the city. The tour is both entertaining and informative. We learned and spotted things we otherwise would not have known without this tour. Highly recommended!

Great, Low-Key Tour - Great tour with Izzy today. Plenty of walking, but also plenty of stops so it wasn't too taxing. Learned a lot of fun facts and got to see a lot of the city! Tip of 10€ or higher is expected but not mandatory.

Augustus was an exceptional guide. Very friendly and with an impressive knowledge about Cologne. Clear explanations - We had an excellent experience with Augusto in Cologne. Extremely friendly, affordable and always available to answer any questions. It is clear that you know a lot about the city — master the history, local culture and share curiosities that we do not find in the tour guides. It made the visit much more interesting and engaging. I recommend Augusto without any doubt.
