Smiling over food in Cologne

Cologne Food & Kolsch Tasting Tour

Curated and hand-picked locations by our very own Köln guide!

From Roman roads to street food and beer history. Get ready to step into over 2,000 years of history and flavor on this immersive food and beer tour through Cologne’s historic Old Town and the vibrant Belgian Quarter. Begin near the Kölner Dom, where Roman settlers founded Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium in 50 AD, and pass the site of Europe’s oldest documented Jewish quarter, dating back to 321 AD.

Taste the traditions that define Cologne: sample Kölsch beer poured the classic way, snack on Reibekuchen and “Halve Hahn,” and learn the culture behind each bite. Ride the local tram into the Belgian Quarter—Cologne’s trendiest neighborhood—where post-war bohemian spirit gave rise to today’s creative scene. Surrounded by indie boutiques, art galleries, and buzzing bars, you’ll dive into multicultural flavors with Hungarian goulash, a Turkish-style Döner, and finish with artisanal cheesecake and third-wave coffee in a minimalist café.

Led by a passionate local guide, this tour is the perfect blend of storytelling, street culture, and unforgettable food.
