It was a good experience. We had some problems with arriving in time to the tour and after a few calls the company was willing to reschedule our boat tour to the next time slot. The weather was amazing and it's a great experience to chill and see some attractions of Cologne.

Fantastic! I would definitely recommend this to everyone who is visiting Cologne. Staff was very professional, and it was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. The top deck was a bit crowded because this was a very busy time of the year but it was still amazing. It helped that the weather was very good, it's only for an hour but you get to see all the major landmarks. The bathroom was immaculately clean, it is clear that they do things efficiently and properly in a classic German fashion.

Excellent experience! Good to get to know the area!

We did the 6pm 1hour cruise- it was a little chilly, but we still chose to sit upstairs and it was beautiful. It was a little difficult at times to hear the history of Cologne they were sharing with us but other than that, it’s a great experience to gat a lay of the land and beautiful views of Cologne
