Overview

To begin your mysterious adventure in Cologne, we will meet at the exit of the Central Station, where your guide will greet you with his green and white umbrella. Each stop along the way will open a window to tales that have endured over time, uniting tradition, mystery and dark undertones.

We will begin by exploring the lesser-known facet of the Cathedral, setting the tone for the route. From that point, we will enter corners linked to ancient trades, enigmatic characters and centuries-old symbols, such as the historic Dombauhütte and the discreet and intriguing Petrusbrunnen.

The tour will lead us to the old Rathaus, where stories of evil deals and sorcery will make our skin crawl. Afterwards, we will learn a tale of love and failure, before discovering the risks of a craft that is still alive today and how beer also hides a dark side.

We will end at the Rheingarten, where the legend of the Rhine mermaid will bid us farewell with a last whisper. An itinerary full of atmosphere and curiosities that will invite you to see Cologne from a totally different perspective.

Meeting point

Bahnhofsvorplatz, Colonia

On arrival

We are waiting for you at the bottom of the left side staircase of the Cologne Cathedral, coming out of the Central Station. You should be able to see in large letters the word "Hauptbahnhof" at the top of the glass wall.
Normally the guides wait very close to a bakery/cafeteria named Kamps.
We will be with a green and white umbrella, so you can't miss it. It is important not to get confused with the main entrance of the Cathedral.

Things to note

Attention Groups!
The tour is designed for small groups. Groups of 6 or more adults are requested to pay a contribution of 12 euros per person at the beginning of the tour, to guarantee the guide a decent income for his work. The same policy will apply if there are reservations with different names from the same group.

Cancellation policy

You are free to cancel a booking anytime. We kindly remind you to cancel bookings you cannot arrive for. Being reported as absent decreases your customer level points and the benefits you can enjoy.
