Good idea: Old Town & Rhine
|
Seen it from the Dom (cathedral) before? What would
Cologne be without the Rhine? The river belongs to
the city just as a boat tour does to the itinerary of a
Cologne visitor. Espacially travel groups who wanted to
book a guided walk through the old town of Cologne with
its beautiful sights may also be interested in extending
this nice event by exploring the river rhine on a ship
that takes them along the wonderful view on the entire
old town. The combination of both
|
 |
programm parts is at its best.
First you will be lead to the most important
sights of old Cologne in order to learn about lots
of nice stories that city's history bears. You
will be pleased to know all necessary about this
old town of almost 2000 years since the time of
the romans. Afterwards we'll take |
|
|
you on one of the white boats for a relaxing cruise
along the left and right bank of the rhine where
interesting buildings and landmarks are to be seen. We
recommand not to forget your photo camera. On the ship
you can both sit under free sky or under deck if you
like to. If you wish to have a cold or warm drink or a
snack to eat there will be a waiter serving you quickly.
The duration of the whole tour (walk and cruise on the
rhine) is about 2.5 hours.

Our programme "Walk to old
town plus cruise on rhine" is for private and
