Our Kölsch tours
Welcome to our lively city on the Rhine! A Kölsch tour is the ideal way to experience the unique culture and charm of Cologne in an authentic way. Our professionally guided tours not only offer a fascinating insight into the history of the city, but also the opportunity to try the famous Kölsch in cozy breweries.
Guide Chris
Hi, I´m Chris, founder of Cologne Guide!
As former Köbes (brewhouse waiter) I know
everything about the breweries in our Old
Town.
Since I did many tours for other
companies it became my time to start
my own business! I love getting in
touch with new people and showing
them our city and the breweries as
well as telling them why I love this
city so much.
Cologne has a very unique culture and mentality in Germany and of course a very unique beer product: the Kölsch!
And one thing is also very important to me: Having fun on my tours! By that you can be assured that you will learn a lot about Cologne as well!
"Let´s have a beer!" - this is not only an invitation,
it is one of the most important rules in
Cologne. It is the sign for friendship, love
and even for ending an argument.
And it is the reason that sometimes it
happens that after the tour I sit
together with my guests for anothher
couple of hours. But that actually
belongs to our mentality here in
Cologne!
And who else could teach you this if not
a former Köbes?
Elisabeth
Hi, I´m Elisabeth, founder of Cologne Guide!
Probably you won´t get to see me on the tours. Why that? Well, I am the one to do the boring
office job unfortunately. But from time to time
I hop in and join the tours as well. Most likely I
know your names from the bookings.
As Chris says I am the good-hearted
soul from Cologne Guide. By the
way this is our second company.
I founded another one with Chris
before, the WordARTists, we are
writing SEO-Texts for websites, but
as well for offline products. And
texts for differently-abled
persons too, which is a matter
of heart to me!
We both got to know each other several years
ago when we started working in a small
NGO here in Cologne called United World
Organisation. Here we became the
chairmen as well.
When Chris came to me and asked about
starting a start-up I immediately said
yes! And when he asked me the
second time I still didn´t regret it.
I love Kölsch, I love the city and I
think it is of huge importance to
really show the tourists how
the people here act, think and
feel. If you want to experience
Cologne you have to join Chris on
our tour!
