    We took the street art bike tour with Christian, which was a lot of fun. It’s a bit the “anarchist anti-capitalist urbanism tour,” which I’m into, of course. We took the tour in English, and German is offered too. Over three hours you tour the suburbs of Köln and see street art memorials, hotspots, and commissioned murals. Christian gives you some insight into street art generally and Cologne’s history as well. It was fun!

    (Translated by Google) Even for me as an inexperienced cyclist, the tour was really great and I learned a lot about my hometown which I did not know until now. With a well-organized guide and great wheels in the sunshine through Cologne .... what more could you want! Thanks a lot for this! I will gladly do a tour with you again. ? (Original) Auch für mich als unerfahrene Radlerin war die Tour super zu schaffen und ich habe sehr viel über meine Heimatstadt erfahren was mir bis jetzt noch nicht bekannt war. Mit einem gut organisiertem Guide und tollen Rädern im Sonnenschein durch Köln....was will man mehr! Vielen Dank dafür! Ich werde sehr gerne wieder eine Tour mit euch machen. ?

    We did a bike tour with Sarah and we have nothing but positive things to say! She told us in a very enthousiast manner about the city and the history and showed us places you might miss as a tourist walking around. Definitely recommend doing this bike tour!

    It was a nice tour through Cologne with Peter guiding us around. Really recommendable to anyone looking into this. Will for sure repeat and take any of the other tours that are offered. I hope you can broaden the offer with more places to visit. Exercise and tourism are a good combination and this experience was enjoyable. Cheers and good luck.

    I guess our expectations were ether high or Cologne just did not take our interests. The tour was fine and did a good overview of the history and current "vibe" of Cologne. The guide was certainly knowledgeable and prepared. It just seemed we went a long way for "meh", excluding the Cologne Cathedral. We found that after the tour we only had taken a handful of pictures, and almost all of them were of the cathedral. Perhaps my review is more of Cologne than it is of Colonia Aktive tours. Our tour did not include time to go into the cathedral or any other venue. However, once we noted to our guide this would be our only opportunity to enter the Cathedral, she made time for us to spend 15 minutes inside. I will say, they do need to work on their online shopping cart provider. I am in IT and there was just no good reason for it to be so bad. We never could get it to charge our card and had to arrange paypal instead of a simple online purchase.

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, no good experiences! E-bike got a flat foot, due to a closed tire. The pickup of the defective bike in the Wahner Heide was very time-consuming and expensive, as some phone calls had to be made, whether the pick-up service acknowledges our damage. We could only use the bike for just under 3 hours, not 24 hours as planned. According to GTC point 9 compensates the customer at least with the credit of a Mietrades for the lost rental period. We were offered 6 euros. The bill should be the other way round, my remaining time is 21 hours, ergo 19 Euro refund. Could have been a nice day, other e-bike rental companies are more accommodating and better positioned. Never again with this provider. (Original) Leider keine guten Erfahrungen gemacht! E-Bike bekam einen Plattfuss, aufgrund eines verschliessenen Reifens. Die Abholung des defekten Rad in der Wahner Heide war sehr zeit-intensiv und aufwendig, da einige Telefonate geführt werden mussten, ob der Abholdienst unseren Schaden anerkennt. Wir konnten das Rad nur knapp 3 Stunden nutzen, nicht wie geplant 24 Stunden. Laut AGB Punkt 9 entschädigt den Kunden mindestens mit der Gutschrift eines Mietrades für die verlorene Mietdauer. Man bot uns 6 Euro an. Die Rechnung müsste andersrum sein, meine verbleibende Zeit sind 21 Stunden, ergo 19 Euro Erstattung. Hätte ein schöner Tag werden können, andere E-Bike Verleiher sind kulanter und besser aufgestellt. Nie wieder bei diesem Anbieter.

    (Translated by Google) I went on Friday, 23.11., On the bike tour "Fascination Cologne", and I was completely enthusiastic :) The boss himself, Peter, has guided us through Cologne and told at each stop a lot of interesting and funny. So we have heard during a tour of the old town, Agnesviertel, green belt, along the Rhine and in the Rheinauhafen of the Romans over the "Aqua Mirabilis" of Mr. Farina up to the modern community in the fashionable glass buildings of modern times. It was thus a bicycle trip through many times and I "New Cologne" have seen and learned a lot. My many questions were answered patiently and in detail. In addition, the group was very friendly and open! Only to be recommended - Thanks, Peter and Kim! (Original) Ich bin am Freitag, 23.11., bei der Radtour "Faszination Köln" mitgefahren, und ich war rundum begeistert :) Der Chef höchstpersönlich, Peter, hat uns durch Köln geführt und an jedem Stop viel Interessantes und Lustiges erzählt. So haben wir bei einer Runde durch Altstadt, Agnesviertel, Grüngürtel, am Rhein entlang und auch im Rheinauhafen von den Römern über das "Aqua Mirabilis" des Herrn Farina bis hin zur modernen Community in den schicken Glasgebäuden der Neuzeit gehört. Es war somit eine Fahrradreise durch viele Zeiten und ich "Neu-Kölnerin" habe eine Menge gesehen und gelernt. Meine vielen Fragen wurden geduldig und ausführlich beantwortet. Außerdem war die Gruppe sehr freundlich und offen! Nur zu Empfehlen - Danke, Peter und Kim!

    (Translated by Google) We did the street art tour through different districts of Cologne and I have to say, I was thrilled. It was a successful combination of worth knowing, seeing and the relaxed ease to cruise through Cologne by bike. Schäälsick tour I'm coming :))) (Original) Wir haben die Street Art Tour durch verschiedene Viertel Kölns gemacht und ich muss sagen, ich war begeistert. Es war eine gelungene Kombination aus Wissenswertem, Sehenswertem und der entspannten Leichtigkeit mit dem Rad durch Köln zu cruisen. Schäälsick-Tour ich komme :)))

    This was my first time in Cologne and I wanted a good way of seeing the city. I went on one of the three hour bike tours rather than renting my own bike and it turned out to be great. The bikes were all in great shape and didn't cause any problems. The tour guide was extremely knowledgable about the cities history and locations to visit and was very friendly. Overall it was very beneficial for a first time visitor and I would also recommend it for return visitors.

    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!

    I did a biking tour with them in Cologne with Christmas atmosphere! I learned about the history of the city and saw the best bits. Because it'd been a long time I didn't ride a bike I chose the wrong gear and at some point it was difficult for me to catch up but they waited for me and then I figured out the gears 😅 Peter, our guide was a really nice person and had clearly lots of knowledge about cologne. I totally recommend it :)

    Discovering Cologne with Colonia Aktiv was perfect. The staff was really doing their job at 200%, helping to choose the bike, offering equipment (gloves, headset and more), helped to setup the bike... The visit was covering a lot of different aspect of the city's history: about art, science, politics and economy. I had a really good idea of how the city's identity after this short tour (3hours). The tour is adapted to bike beginners and the tour guide is really caring of the group. Talking about him, he really made a lot of effort to make it interactive, asking questions relative to visitors country of origins for example. Last, the location to start and end the tour is perfect since it is very close to the center, so once you leave, you are minutes from the dome, allowing you to spend more time there easily.

    (Translated by Google) We have actively rented two tandem bicycles at colonia. Unfortunately, we could not start on time with our tour because the previous customer brought it back too late. The half-hour wait was however with free coffee bridged :). One of the two tandems was a bit uncomfortable and the circuit was difficult. The other was tiptop. Overall, we had a great day and the staff were very nice. (Original) Wir haben zwei Tandem-Fahrräder bei colonia aktiv gemietet. Leider konnten wir nicht ganz pünktlich mit unserer Tour starten, da der vorherige Kunde diese zu spät zurück gebracht hat. Die halbe Stunde Wartezeit wurde allerdings mit gratis Kaffee überbrückt :). Eines der beiden Tandems war etwas unbequem und die Schaltung schwergängig. Das andere war tiptop. Insgesamt hatten wir einen tollen Tag und die Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett.

    For the experience, the price was very reasonable. We went through the old city and were given a brief but detailed history of the city. We also bicycled up a bridge to get a gorgeous view of the city. Despite it being a rainy day, we saw a lot, and at a leisurely pace (the rain ponchos provided were great!). The docks we cycled through were really lovely, and our tour guide Laura told us a fun story about the heinzelmaenschenbrunnen. Laura was an excellent guide, answering every question we had. She made sure that even slow cyclists got to enjoy the experience as much as possible. Overall, excellent experience!

    Gutta was a wonderful guide, and the tour was definitely a more personal one, suited to your tastes. I'm not really a tour type of person, but would recommend this one. I'm a cyclist myself and I always dread rental bikes but these ones were maintained very well - would also recommend if you're looking for rentals too. As a bonus I got many tips for places to go / neighbourhoods to visit.

    (Translated by Google) We have had a great tour of the city. Our guide (Piet) could tell us so much about the history and art of the city, we were so impressed that we also booked the street art tour the next day. Great if someone has immersed themselves in the city like that. To complete your stay in Cologne, this tour is definitely recommended. And the bikes are also well maintained, which makes the trip more enjoyable. Not totally unimportant. (Original) We hebben een geweldige tour door de stad gekregen. Onze gids (Piet) kon ons zoveel vertellen over de geschiedenis en kunst van de stad, we waren zo onder de indruk dat we de volgende dag ook de streetart tour hebben geboekt.

En de fietsen zijn ook goed onderhouden, wat de tocht wel plezieriger maakt. Niet geheel onbelangrijk.

    Excellent Service! Rented an E-bike from Nov. 3 to Nov. 10 for 7 days, and rode the bike all around Köln, Brühl, Bonn, Aachen, and Koblenz. The bike itself was in excellent condition, and riding it was a breeze. The workshop also provided me with complete accessories, including helmet, headlight, and lock. I would strongly recommend renting from this establishment if you are in Köln, instead of public bicycles or scooter-sharing such as Lime or Tier.

    (Translated by Google) This weekend I made a bicycle trip with Piet twice. A historic and an art route. Delicious on our bike through the city. Ask for Piet he will tell you everything and give good tips! (Original) Dit weekend 2 keer een fietstocht met Piet gemaakt. Een historische en een kunst route. Heerlijk op ons fietsie door de stad.

    We did the English tour on Saturday with Peter, and we were very happy. Knowledgeable, great bikes, nice route with enough shade, break in the middle and punctual.

    Wow what an awesome experience! Everyone should take the time for a bike tour when visiting a new city and Colonia Aktiv gave us an unforgettable experience. Peter knows his history, he's funny and accommodating, and takes you to places you probably wouldn't have found on your own.

    I chose a trekking bike to do a self-guided bike tour in the Eiffel of 40kms. The bike itself did a tremendous job, they offer a highly decent quality bike, so I would say is worth their price. Until I buy my own, I might go back a couple of times more for another Eiffel tour. And also, I took the bike one day at 16:30, and the next day I arrived at 18:30 due to my train being delayed, and I locked it outside with their lock, and no extra charge, no deposit, all easy to handle, and all in English. Have a good ride!

    (Translated by Google) Did the StreetArt Tour with Pete, highly recommended! Group size with 8 participants completely OK, very interesting selection of places and lots of information about street art, urban development and the art scene. Really very rewarding, also for my son (14), who is actually not interested in art. (Original) Habe die StreetArt Tour bei Pete gemacht, sehr zu empfehlen! Gruppengröße mit 8 Teilnehmern völlig OK, sehr interessante Auswahl der Orte und viele Infos über Streetart, Stadtentwicklung und Kunstszene. Wirklich sehr lohnend, auch für meinen Sohn (14), der sich eigentlich nicht für Kunst interessiert.

    We just finished a private tour (4 of us) with Peter and we could not be more satisfied. The bikes were in excellent condition and totally ready on our arrival. The support staff were friendly and efficient. But… it was Peters knowledge, rapport and pace that really put the whole event “over the top”. He was well versed in his subject and surprised us with a lot of very interesting history. We had a couple intermediate bikers in our group and he was therefore careful and cautious in his pace so they felt safe. We’ve done bike tours in several major cities. This tour is unquestionably in the very top tier. Thank you to Peter and team!

    We had a fantastic tour with Peter today. He was super knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The tour was relaxed and bespoke to the group. Thanks again.

    My wife and I did the 10am tour on Saturday, September 9. Originally I thought the time was 10am - but it was really 1030am. :-) That turned out to be a good thing because the restaurant on the corner near the bike rental place serves an excellent buffet breakfast - highly recommend! :-) Anyway - the tour - Peter (owner of the company) was our guide. We had 11 people on our tour from all over the world. Our tour was conducted in English. Peter did a wonderful job putting history and perspective into the different sites and stops during our ride. We stopped often and the ride was never difficult. My wife and I learned a lot. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to understand Cologne and it's history.

👍👍 Impeccable experience. I can only recommend these guys... the vehicles were incredible. One of the owners, Chris I believe, was really going the extra mile in terms of service ...but he needs to desperately comb his hair, it's a mess 😂 All jokes aside - give these guys a try!

😠 Beautiful sights from the Rhein, however, there are some things people need to know (SCAM and more). Most of the staff members are rude. There was a man yelling to a guest because he thought the guest wasn't listening to his instructions. The guest did nothing wrong, I think the crew member just had...
