We bought the hop on hop off bus tour plus river cruise combo. The river cruise was amazing: great spoken commentary in German and English for the duration of the trip, cruised past the city's top sights and had multiple opportunities to get the right shots. Also had perfect weather! The bus tour was also good, but commentary was a little lacking in places. We had long stretches of just driving. Also, due to road construction, the route changed a bit. This would have been helpful to highlight upon purchase of tickets--could easily have been included in the text/email with the ticket link. Still worth, it though. We rode the route twice in order not to miss anything!
Everything went very smoothly, from booking to disembarkation. The panorama ship was beautiful and the stories about Cologne were easy to understand. I could have spent the whole day on board. We were thrilled. However, it would be nice if you could pay with Paypal. Thank you for the wonderful experience, we will certainly do this more often.
Funny, friendly staff. Good atmosphere. All information was easy to hear over the loudspeakers. Very clean. We felt comfortable.
Everything was good and it was very nice
The explanation of the individual buildings and areas was very good and also very easy to understand. Gladly again!!!! My visit from Berlin was a great pleasure.
The view of the city from the water is really something special, and we had fabulous weather. Unfortunately, the announcements were not in sync with the ship's location.
The ride was nice and the staff very friendly. Unfortunately, the tape with the explanations was set so quietly that you could hardly understand anything and that was very unfortunate and annoying
Beautiful, clean ship. Friendly staff.
Ease of booking tickets, ship features and bathrooms, fairly new and clean.
Plenty of seats on board, easy check-in
Everything was okay. Everyone was friendly.
The view of the river and riverbanks from the boat deck is breathtaking.
It was interesting and you got to see a lot of the city. I liked it a lot
Friendly staff, good hospitality
The fresh breeze and the relaxed swell
It was nice to ride and hear facts.
A wonderful boat trip with a great view - absolutely recommendable!
It was a great boat trip with great views, well worth it
It was a very good trip, the entire schieff crew was very friendly and helpful.
Fresh air on the deck, food and drinks.
Lovely cruise to see highlights of Cologne
Very friendly staff, beautiful cruise
Clear online booking. The route was ok, but not as fluid and interesting as in Düsseldorf. Therefore one star less.

Very nice bus driver. Bus was absolutely ok. Tour was also good. I would have liked a bit more information. Because of me, the "speaker" was allowed to babble almost the whole time.

The ride was lovely. The drivers were super nice and friendly. But: The stops are not easy to find. No signs, signs are not easy to see, very small! Buses were overcrowded. One bus didn't take us at all. We then waited half an hour. Supposedly there were special buses on the way. Did not see any special buses

Good guide on my ear Easy to jump on and off.
Lovely cruise to see highlights of Cologne
Very friendly staff, beautiful cruise
There was a DJ and you could eat and drink during the trip at affordable prices. Very nice. I recommend at sunset for the views.
I had thought that there would be seats for all guests on the upper deck. At least in the great weather where everyone naturally wants to sit on the upper deck. Unfortunately, we had to stand for 2 hours.
A special smoking area, because due to the airstream and the inconsiderateness of the smoker, ash would be blown into his face...
Very good, you have seen everything you need to see the important sights of Cologne
It is necessary to specify the dock for the boat because the meeting point was empty without indications.
The meetingpoint was not the right one, so we missed the boat. We haven't seen any tourguide at the meetingpoint, so we couldn't asked anyone where to go. Upon request via email, it was stated that the costs cannot be refunded.
It was a huge disaster!!! Firstly, it said that the meals and a supposed DJ were included and only the snacks and drinks had to be paid for. Meals and snacks are two different things! Then you are treated unfriendly! Tables upstairs are hardly available, although you know that everyone will be upstairs. DJ didn't even play anything but just played slow music from a CD or stick. This is not a DJ and you couldn't dance on the deck. And then you are taken downstairs by the guy in charge and snorted at. Also need a long time to research. I missed half of my trip down there. Never again, I want my money back!
The boat trip was so awesome, I asked my fiancée if she wanted to be my wife and she said YES 🥰
Good drinks, great people, beautiful night time views of the city.
A very nice tour, nice staff and reasonable prices
We couldnt find the meeting point and we had to leave without getting on the boat. Very frustrating!! I want my Money back

The space, the well cared for animals and the environment.

Good variety of animals and the elephants were great. But why so many ducks and aquatic birds. Definitely a bird watchers paradise.
There was no clear address on the ticket for the Rhine trip and the jetties were poorly signposted.

Lovely cruise to see highlights of Cologne
Very friendly staff, beautiful cruise
We learned one or two new things even though we are from Cologne. The service and the narrator were very good. We enjoyed it very much and will definitely recommend this tour to others.
The cruise is top-notch, the interior space is well heated, the toilets are clean, the DJ is friendly and the drinks are reasonably priced. We recommend this cruise.
The cruise was very easy to find, Google maps took you to the exact location. Ticket scanning, simple and straightforward. Lots of room to sit down even with it being full. Table service was great, attentive although a QR code would also be favourable in the future. Boat was lovely, decorated really well and we had the best experience. The singer/piano player was fab. He was entertaining, so full of energy and made the experience feel very personal. Loved it, got to see Cologne at dusk, very pretty.
Very Christmassy. Great service.
Fantastic...it was the highlight of my Cologne...would love to do it again and again...recommend to all
The live music Gluwein and sehr lecher cake!
