Cologne 1926 a journey through time with virtual reality elements
Fun and beautiful Cologne trip into 1926
Interesting and great trip to Cologne 1926. Friendly welcome, detailed explanation, just beautiful and worth seeing. Cons: The glasses were just too heavy and had to be held in position by hand throughout the "journey through Cologne". No way to order anything drinkable and there was no toilet.

Learnt a lot about the...
Learnt a lot about the history of cologne! The walking isn't too strenuous, my mom has a bad knee and she was able to keep up! You walk for a few minutes then the guide stops to talk about the location you are at. Our tour guide was very informative, there are tons of sculptures and interesting buildings in Cologne. Some of the ones we passed weren't technically on the tour but if we asked about it our guide would stop to explain it. Highly recommend!
