What to expect on our public bike tours through Cologne

When a Cologne resident is asked what makes his or her hometown so special, it is not uncommon to hear about this special “attitude to life” in our colorful and multicultural city.

Guided Bike Tours Cologne: Sightseeing by bike!

It is not only the cathedral or the FC that make Cologne the most beautiful city in Germany for many people. From Roman times to the present, the people of Cologne developed a special kind of hospitality and shaped the metropolis on the Rhine with their lifestyle. The interplay of this striking lightness, which can be felt everywhere in the city, with the varied city history make Cologne an experience that is hard to resist.

Discover the multifaceted city from the saddle!

Cathedral, Rhine, old town, or hip scene neighborhoods – Cologne has a lot to offer! Come with us on one of our theme tours through the city and let yourself be captured by the special Cologne lifestyle. Our local guides know the city like the back of their hands, show you the most interesting corners, guide you to the most beautiful photo stops, explain interesting facts about the Cologne sights and have lots of tips and ideas for your visit to Cologne.

Safe and active on Cologne’s roads!

The best way to discover the city is by bike! You can get from Veedel to Veedel quickly, see the most important sights, explore the narrowest alleys of the old town and cycle off the main tourist paths. And you will be on your way in an easy, active and environmentally friendly way. 

Our guided bike tours take place in small groups with a maximum of 15 people. You cycle on our high-quality city bikes, can borrow helmets free of charge on site and receive theft-proof bike locks.
