Cologne Cathedral: Tours & Tickets

We were in Cologne for a couple of days to experience the Christmas markets and bought a group KoelnCard to cover the three of us. It was very useful, removed the headache of having the cash handy for travelling on the U-bahn and trains and I think we probably covered the cost of the card in that alone. In addition, we had good discounts at those two essential Cologne visits, the Chocolate museum and the Fragrance museum! Well worth the investment!

The tour was nice and didn't take too long. The stories were interesting, nicely told and had a sudden sense of humour in them. The guide didn't ask for our tickets, so anyone could join the tour... This aspect was not well organised... It's a thrilling experience if you want to know more about the history of Cologne. You need a more than average level of German to.understand the stories because the guide speaks in a dialect.

We had a lovely cruise down the Rhine chasing the sunset. Boarding was easy. Food and drink was available on board, although vegetarian options were minimal. We thought that there was an audio guide but this either didn't seem to happen or it wasn't clear as to how to hear this but other than that the boat trip was excellent. Thank you.

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

I bought this card mainly to take advantage to get into museums at a reduced price-unfortunately most museums were closed on Monday. So check before you purchase. Did get a little bit of discount for the Hop on /Hop off bus ride across town
