😐 It was a cold and rainy day on this day. But as we went on tour with the Kölntourist on midday for 1,5h, rain stopped and even the sun came out! We bought the tickets in advance for the Saturday Trip 29.07. You can buy tickets also there. Price per person 19,90 = 39,80€ for approx. 90 minutes tour... People often mention nice, tour, staff, boat, good, ship, sehr, Great, Schiff, great,

    It was a cold and rainy day on this day. But as we went on tour with the Kölntourist on midday for 1,5h, rain stopped and even the sun came out! We bought the tickets in advance for the Saturday Trip 29.07. You can buy tickets also there. Price per person 19,90 = 39,80€ for approx. 90 minutes tour. Skyline Tour. Service is ok. Tour well planned and we enjoyed it. Beverages were ok. But: having a hen party on board, made it impossible to hear the PA System and was quite disturbing with all the noise most of the time! Unfortunately it really spoiled the tour. Edit: It is unfortunate to read that customer concerns are not taken seriously according to the situation and are even rather arbitrarily ignored.

    (Translated by Google) We are at the second station. First of all, the ship arrived 15 minutes late. Then we had to scramble over another ship that was already empty on the jetty. No staff available to assist. Then the ship was already full. We sat in the "ground floor" in front of the counter next to the entrance. Unfortunately, the coffee machine from this counter and the men's round in the front of the ship made such a noise that one could not understand a single explanation. A speaker just front is just not enough. You should install another one at the entrance. Besides, it's very unfortunate to hear the lady behind the counter saying, "Where do all the people come from? Even when getting off at the cathedral was no staff at the door and helped. (Original) Wir sind an der zweiten Station eingestiegen. Erst einmal kam das Schiff 15 min zu spät. Dann mussten wir über ein Schiff, dass bereits leer am Steg lag auf das andere kraxeln. Kein Personal zur Unterstützung anwesend. Dann war das Schiff schon voll. Wir saßen im "Erdgeschoss" vor dem Tresen neben dem Eingang. Leider haben die Kaffeemaschine von diesem Tresen und die Herrenrunde im vorderen Teil des Schiffes einen solchen Krach gemacht, dass man keine einzige Erklärung verstehen konnte. Ein Lautsprecher nur vorne ist einfach zu wenig. Man sollte einen weiteren beim Eingang installieren. Ausserdem ist es sehr unschön, beim Einsteigen, die Dame hinter dem Tresen sagen zu hören "Wo kommen all die Leute her? Es reicht so langsam" Auch beim Aussteigen am Dom war kein Personal an der Tür und hat geholfen.

    A really nice river tour. Takes just over an hour. Comfortable table seating inside and out, clean toilets and service for light refreshments. Not a great choice for wheel chairs or small children.

    Always love this trip. Great boat, staff and view. You can always get your tickets well ahead of time or sometimes at the counter just before the trips. They also reply emails.

  • 4/5 Claudia A. 8 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    Great boat trip. If you are looking for a calm way to explore the Rhein then don’t miss it. The only issue was that there was not enough shaded seating on deck for everyone to enjoy and the wait staff was overwhelmed with the sheer amount of people as they were understaffed.

    Enjoyed this boat tour! I bought the chocolate factory & boat tour bundle. Super easy to hop on and off. Boat was super calm, lots of options for refreshments. Plenty of information about the surrounding buildings. Would recommend to others

  • 5/5 Cynthia A. 4 years ago on Google
    I have been coming for years. There are many good restaurants and bars, beautiful parks and there are so many places to visit. The Dom is great, I can go for walks along the Rhine and also there are good shops. Its easy to hop on a tram or U-bahn or train and go to many interesting places. Absolutely love Cologne.

    Great boat tripe down the Rhein

  • 2/5 Shriram K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nothing against the company.But I feel ,the cruise in cologne has nothing much to offer. There are not many interesting things to see compared to other cities which have cruises. I would not recommend to take a cruise here in this city.

  • 4/5 Teddy K. 1 year ago on Google
    The boat tour was nice and informative.

  • 4/5 Bruce B. 1 year ago on Google
    We took a 1.5 hour Rhine river boat tour in November and it was an pleasant time spent observing Cologne from a different perspective. Because it was a somewhat cool day we stayed inside the cabin most of the time with just a few visits out on deck. We were served hot mulled wine and found the trip certainly worth the roughly 25 Euro/person charge certainly reasonable.

  • 5/5 david h. 1 year ago on Google
    Went on the festive cruise at the start of December, thoroughly enjoyed it, fast and efficient boarding, complimentary hot chocolate, coffee or Gluhwein. Singer was really good singing lots of Christmas songs. Boat was comfortable and warm, would highly recommend.

    (Translated by Google) With the background music and the atmosphere on board just super nice. With us, the weather was fine and it was a great experience for me. A free drink was served by super nice staff. You sail to Rodenkirchen, from there up to the zoo and back to the pier. It is also easy to find, as a ticket booth marks the right footbridge. I wish you all a nice time! We will go again every now and then. (Original) Mit der musikalischen Untermalung und der Stimmung an Bord einfach super schön. Bei uns hat das Wetter gepasst und es war mir allem ein tolles Erlebnis. Ein Freigetränk gab es, serviert von super lieben Mitarbeitern. Man schippert bis Rodenkirchen, von da aus hoch zum Zoo und wieder zur Anlegestelle. Die ist auch ganz gut zu finden, da ein Kassenhäuschen den richtigen Steg markiert. Ich wünsche allen eine schöne Zeit! Wir werden hin und wieder nochmal mitfahren.

    (Translated by Google) The Panorama Tour is actually worth a trip, but unfortunately the hygiene regulations are not followed. Only a few distance markings, which nobody pays attention to, and all tables are occupied without maintaining the specified distance. An employee, on the other hand, was very nice and left the table next to us free. (Original) Die Panorama Tour ist eigentlich einen Ausflug wert.Aber leider wird sich nicht an die Hygienebestimmungen gehalten. Nur wenige Abstandsmakierungen, auf die keiner achtet und alle Tische werden, ohne den vorgegeben Abstand einzuhalten, besetzt. Eine Mitarbeiterin dagegen war sehr nett und hat den Tisch neben uns freigelassen.

    (Translated by Google) Very unfriendly employee in ticket sales. Didn't want to give us a discount despite a school ID card, even though this is waived according to the price list. In addition, the lady was very unfriendly on the phone when we checked the departure times beforehand. (Original) Sehr unfreundliche Mitarbeiterin im Ticketverkauf. Wollte uns trotz Schülerausweis/Studentenausweis keinen Rabatt geben, obwohl dieser laut Preisliste erlassen wird. Außerdem war die Dame bereits am Telefon sehr unfreundlich, als wir uns im Vorfeld über die Abfahrtszeiten informiert haben.

  • 4/5 Lieselotte P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We had booked the New Year's tour on one of the ships. I thought the trip was okay, even if the ship was standing still for a long time instead of driving. Unfortunately I had seen too late that the seats in the salon were "with loud sound". Those who can read are always clearly at an advantage. Is there actually a written or unwritten law that the "sound system" must become louder and louder during the evening? Anyway, we left the ship as soon as it docked. We had chosen a ship where there was a buffet and the drinks were included. The buffet was really great and was always replenished! There's nothing to add here. There was simply not enough space. The people at the middle table could not stand up for quite a while because there was a line from all sides and the table was completely "encircled". Not only that, the (very hard-working) wait staff had to squeeze through this chaos. I didn't find the fireworks that started at midnight so intoxicating, I've seen more in smaller towns. In addition, the ship was totally iced up on the open space due to the weather, so that you could only move very slowly. Where we were really lucky: the people who sat with us at the table were very nice and funny. Conclusion: We will definitely not do this trip again. However, this is only partly due to the implementation (I call it building the location), but rather to personal feelings and factors that cannot be influenced (weather). But since I rate the organizer, the rating is still 4 stars for the otherwise smooth process. (Original) Wir hatten die Silvestertour auf einem der Schiffe gebucht. Die Fahrt fand ich okay, auch wenn das Schiff wetterbedingt doch längere Zeit still stand statt zu fahren. Leider hatte ich zu spät gesehen, dass die Plätze im Salon "mit lauter Beschallung" waren. Wer lesen kann ist eben immer klar im Vorteil. Gibt es eigentlich ein geschriebenes oder ungeschriebenes Gesetz, dass die "Beschallung" im laufe des Abends immer lauter werden muss? Wie auch immer, wir haben das Schiff verlassen, sobald dieses angelegt hatte. Wir hatten ein Schiff gewählt, wo es Buffet gab und auch die Getränke inklusive waren. Das Buffet war wirklich absolute Spitze und wurde auch immer wieder aufgefüllt! Mehr muss man dazu nicht sagen. Es war nur einfach nicht genügend Platz vorhanden. Die Personen am mittlere Tisch konnten so eine ganze Weile nicht aufstehen, da von sämtlichen Seiten eine Schlange stand und der Tisch komplett "eingekesselt" war. Nicht nur das, auch musste sich die (sehr bemühte) Bedienung durch dieses Chaos quetschen. Das um Mitternacht einsetzende Feuerwerk fand ich jetzt auch nicht so berauschend, da habe ich in kleineren Städten schon mehr gesehen. Außerdem war das Schiff wetterbedingt oben auf der Freifläche total vereist, so dass man sich nur sehr langsam bewegen konnte. Wo wir richtig Glück hatten: die Leute, die mit bei uns am Tisch saßen, waren sehr nett und lustig. Fazit: Wir werden diese Fahrt so sicher nicht noch einmal machen. Das liegt aber nur zum kleinen Teil an der Durchführung (ich nenne es einmal Aufbau der Lokalität), sondern eher an persönlichen Befindlichkeiten und nicht beeinflussbaren Faktoren (Wetter). Da ich aber den Veranstalter bewerte, liegt die Bewertung dennoch bei 4 Sternen für den doch ansonsten reibungslosen Ablauf.
