Hey there! My name is André and I'm part of the Freewalk Cologne family. After traveling for a while, I ended up in the city of Cologne and it fascinated me and can't imagine living anywhere else, especially after starting working with Freewalk Cologne. The company started some years ago with a bunch of people in love with the city and their main goal was to show around the city and make the visitors experience a fun time in Cologne. And nowadays, we're still here, ready to welcome you to Cologne and show you the hidden corners of the city. If you'd like to learn about Cologne in a fun way, don't hesitate and join us! We love our city and we wanna share this love with you!
Our Free Christmas Market Tour goes through five major markets in the city. We will tell you the stories that make this city and Christmas what it is for us Kölners.
We’ll start at our largest and most iconic market: the Christmas Market at the Cologne Cathedral. Then, we'll make our way through the historical city center and checking out the Christmas sites on the way!
We’ll stop for Glühwein along the way and explain their different varieties. We’ll explain some of the different traditions from Germany while you enjoy the best of winter in Cologne.
We offer our free tour through the Christmas Markets from Monday 25.11 to Sunday 22.12 with the following schedule:
-In English: Thursdays to Mondays at 16:00h.

Please book in advance if you want to join this tour: we will only accept guests with bookings. The booking is free of charge. Each group will have a max. of 15 people (Kids under 14 years old don't count).
According to TripAdvisor, we provide the best free tours in Cologne! Our secret: We love Cologne and we'd like to share that love with you!
Free Walking Tour means that you decide at the end of the tour whatever it is worth for you and pay your guide accordingly.
The guide will be that friendly looking, smiling person next to the Fleuron replica, in front of the Cathedral. They will be wearing a badge around their neck with their name and our company logo.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
