The 2,000-year-old city of Cologne is pinned onto the banks of the Rhine River. On this three-hour tour you’ll get to tick off some of its famous Gothic architecture, including the iconic twin-spired cathedral. The tour includes an hour of sightseeing by coach, then some more time to explore on foot. You’ll also have free time to go shopping for German souvenirs. Highlights along the tour include a selfie stop outside the cathedral and a wander around the old town square. You’ll also see the town hall and city gates, which date back to the Roman era.
