Very nice and interesting tour of Cologne had with Peter. Very doable. Little up and down. With a large group it was doable
Wat fijn om te horen dat jullie zo hebben genoten van de rondleiding door Keulen met Peter! Goed om te weten dat de route goed te doen was, zelfs met een grote groep. Hopelijk mogen we jullie in de toekomst nog eens verwelkomen.
Super leadership, informative and individual. Winni was very sympathetic, knowledgeable, entertaining, just a typical Cologne, and not only showed us the usual tourist trails.
Hallo vielen Dank für eure schöne Rückmeldung. Freut uns sehr, dass euch die Tour mit Winni gefallen hat. Viele Grüße vom Colonia Aktiv Team

We had a fantastic time on the tour with our guide Sara and her trainee Johannes. We were the first people to take their new e-bike tour, so it was just the two of us plus Sara and Johannes - so it was like a private tour! The e-bikes were great and brand new. They were very comfy and made the tour so easy and fun! We did around 18-20km over four hours all around Cologne and had a great, fun time. Both Sara and Johannes were very friendly, funny and approachable. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone of all ages and abilities!
We had a great tour, the weather played along and Addie was just a great guide, thank you so much, dear Addie! The tour went along the Rhine and it was just wonderful. Addie found a good mix between cycling and explanations, an all-round perfect bike ride, absolutely recommendable!
Vielen Dank für deine tolle Review. Es freut uns sehr, dass dir die Tour, mit unserem super Guide Addie, gefallen hat!
My wife, daughter and I had an amazing experience with our guide Christian. We were given a real insight into the history and character of this amazing city. There was a wealth of information and stories and all three of us including our eight year old loved it. I feel very lucky to have been on this trip, highly recommended!!!
