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.

The one-hour trip on the Rheinfantasie was very nice, but it would have been very helpful if there had been explanations on the upper deck about the individual sights. Unfortunately, these were completely missing, which was a shame for those not familiar with the area. Otherwise a very nice ship for this short tour.

Savor sweet treats at the Chocolate Museum and relax on a Rhine cruise with an audio guide—no need to stress about juggling two tickets.

Just a 5-minute drive connects the museum and the cruise, making it easy to do both in one day.

Most people pair them in one day, but you can spread out the fun and pick different dates for the experiences.

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

Chocolate Museum Cologne

The Chocolate Museum in Cologne takes you through 5,000 years of chocolate history, from ancient Mayan cacao rituals to modern production. See real cocoa trees in the tropical greenhouse, watch robots craft pralines in the factory, and dip wafers into the famous Lindt chocolate fountain. Interactive exhibits let you design your own chocolate bar while vintage ads and packaging showcase its evolution. Enjoy live demonstrations and endless tasting opportunities, featuring dark and milk chocolate samples to freshly made truffles.

Panorama Cruise

Set sail on a scenic 1-hour Rhine cruise and see Cologne from a fresh perspective! Drift past the charming Old Town, where cobbled lanes wind between timber-framed houses with steep gabled roofs. Marvel at the breathtaking Cologne Cathedral, adorned with intricate Gothic details. Spot the Lindt Chocolate Museum, a striking glass-walled building reflecting sunlight over the river, and the Olympic Museum, a sleek modern structure. With an audio guide on your phone and drinks available onboard, sit back, relax, and soak in the views.
