Description

On this unique tour through Düsseldorf’s old town, you will experience the history and culture of this exciting metropolis up close. Our trained and cheerful guides look forward to introducing you to the myths and sights of the city on the Rhine in an authentic and warm manner. If you wish, you can also enjoy a delicious Altbier.

Varied overview with old beer

Düsseldorf is generally known for the carnival, the Alt beer and the legendary enmity with its “neighbor” Cologne. But that’s not all! Düsseldorf is North Rhine-Westphalia’s state capital with an influential art scene, world-famous shopping mile, haunted castle, leaning tower – and probably the longest bar in the world!

On this city tour we offer you a varied overview of all the small and large 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, through the Middle Ages and through the wars to the colorful present. Of course, the town hall, equestrian statue, Rhine promenade and castle tower should not be missed – but you can also go to the brewery, where you can fortify yourself with an original Düsseldorf Alt beer in an authentic setting if you wish.

On our tours you won’t listen to dusty history lessons – for us it’s about having a great time together and laughing and being amazed together. We ensure the right mix of hard facts, local color, fun and entertainment. For example, did you know 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, the story goes from anecdote to anecdote in a family atmosphere. Real Düsseldorf locals will definitely get their money’s worth! And of course you can ask your questions at any time.
