The Tour

Düsseldorf is widely known for its carnival, Altbier, and the legendary rivalry with its “neighbor” Cologne. But that’s by far not all! Düsseldorf is the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia with an influential art scene, a world-famous shopping boulevard, a haunted castle, a leaning tower – and probably the longest bar in the world!

On this city tour, we offer you a varied overview of all the little and big special features of this extraordinary city. Our professional and trained guides will lead you to the central hotspots and tell you exciting anecdotes, from the founding of the city, through the Middle Ages, wars, and into the colorful present day. The Town Hall, equestrian statue, Rhine promenade, and Castle Tower are, of course, part of the program – but you’ll also stop by a brewery, where, if you wish, you can recharge in an authentic setting with an original Düsseldorf Altbier.

On our tours, you won’t just listen to dusty history lessons. With us, it’s all about spending a great time together, laughing, and marveling. We provide the right mix of hard facts, local color, fun, and entertainment. Did you know, for example, that Düsseldorf is considered the birthplace of German punk? Or that the careers of famous painters such as Joseph Beuys, Max Ernst, and Otto Dix began here? Along the original locations, we move in a friendly atmosphere from one anecdote to the next. Even true Düsseldorf locals will surely get their money’s worth! And of course, you can ask your questions at any time.
