Great bike hire shop. The important bits, No deposit, You get a lock so you can return the bike if the shop is closed. Really good bikes. The owner gave us so much info on ALL the things we asked about. Perfect way to see the city and enjoy a great day in Koln.

I chose a trekking bike to do a self-guided bike tour in the Eiffel of 40kms. The bike itself did a tremendous job, they offer a highly decent quality bike, so I would say is worth their price. Until I buy my own, I might go back a couple of times more for another Eiffel tour. And also, I took the bike one day at 16:30, and the next day I arrived at 18:30 due to my train being delayed, and I locked it outside with their lock, and no extra charge, no deposit, all easy to handle, and all in English. Have a good ride!
Easygoing friendly people, a simple hiring process and a bike that worked perfectly. What more do you need? :-)
I guess our expectations were ether high or Cologne just did not take our interests. The tour was fine and did a good overview of the history and current \vibe\ of Cologne. The guide was certainly knowledgeable and prepared. It just seemed we went a long way for \meh\, excluding the Cologne Cathedral. We found that after the tour we only had taken a handful of pictures, and almost all of them were of the cathedral. Perhaps my review is more of Cologne than it is of Colonia Aktive tours. Our tour did not include time to go into the cathedral or any other venue. However, once we noted to our guide this would be our only opportunity to enter the Cathedral, she made time for us to spend 15 minutes inside. I will say, they do need to work on their online shopping cart provider. I am in IT and there was just no good reason for it to be so bad. We never could get it to charge our card and had to arrange paypal instead of a simple online purchase.
Discovering Cologne with Colonia Aktiv was perfect. The staff was really doing their job at 200%, helping to choose the bike, offering equipment (gloves, headset and more), helped to setup the bike... The visit was covering a lot of different aspect of the city's history: about art, science, politics and economy. I had a really good idea of how the city's identity after this short tour (3hours). The tour is adapted to bike beginners and the tour guide is really caring of the group. Talking about him, he really made a lot of effort to make it interactive, asking questions relative to visitors country of origins for example. Last, the location to start and end the tour is perfect since it is very close to the center, so once you leave, you are minutes from the dome, allowing you to spend more time there easily.
