A great way to get introduced to Cologne. You get the lay of the land and interesting facts—historic and present day. Some buses are dated. The more modern buses are fantastic, but the dated buses work well too.

Enjoyed the boat trip. The service for food and drink was very good and it was lovely to get a different perspective of the city from the water. We did this after the hop on hop off bus the day before and it worked well. 90 mins was perfect.

It was a very nice ride, but unfortunately you can't understand any of the information that is announced at the very top. Because there are no loudspeakers at the back. The prices on the ship are moderate and the staff are very friendly.
