Why you’ll love this rickshaw tour

• See more, walk less: great for a quick orientation ride that still feels intimate and local.
• Pick your pace: choose a short 30-minute loop or extend up to 90 minutes for more stories and streets.
• Classic Cologne sights: you’ll pass icons like Cologne Cathedral, City Hall, the Rhine promenade, and Hohenzollern Bridge.
• Old Town atmosphere: narrow alleys, colourful Rhine-side houses, and lively marketplaces bring the city’s long history to life.
• Local characters: the tour highlights Alter Markt and fun cultural touchpoints like the Kallendresser and Tünnes & Schäl.

What to expect

This is a personalised rickshaw ride through the heart of Cologne. Your driver-guide takes you past major landmarks and through smaller streets you might not
naturally stitch together on your first day. The route focuses on the cathedral precinct, historic corners, Rhine-side views, and lively squares—so you get both
“headline Cologne” and the little details.

A highlight is rolling through Alter Markt, where you can spot Cologne’s well-known local figures—an easy-to-miss detail if you’re rushing on foot.
You’ll also travel along the Rhine, passing colourful houses and historic marketplaces while hearing stories from across 2,000 years of city history.
