Itinerary
Begin your adventure with a comfortable departure from Amsterdam aboard an air-conditioned coach. Relax and enjoy the scenic Dutch countryside. A short stop will be made halfway through the journey to stretch your legs and grab a refreshment. The ride to Köln will take around 3 hours and half.
Upon arrival in Cologne, you’ll be greeted by the awe-inspiring Kölner Dom, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most iconic Gothic cathedrals in Europe. Take time to explore its magnificent interior and admire the intricate stained-glass windows. Wander through the charming Old Town, with its cobblestone streets, traditional architecture, and lively atmosphere. Be sure to visit St. Martin’s Church, a striking example of Romanesque design. Then stroll across the Hohenzollern Bridge, famous for its thousands of love locks, and enjoy panoramic views of the Rhine River and Cologne's skyline.
Board the coach for your return to Amsterdam, filled with unforgettable memories of two remarkable European cities. The ride back to Amsterdam will take around 2 hours by bus. Arrive back in Amsterdam after a full and enriching day discovering the cultural treasures of Cologne and Antwerp.

Traveler reviews
Only Cologne with no Antwerp!
I was disappointed that we signed up for both Antwerp and Cologne and instead only went to Cologne. We were told that this would make the trip too long and we could spend more time in Cologne. Our guide, Jorge was great though and did his best to accommodate both Spanish and English speaking folks in the tour.
Wonderful tour and tour guide to Cologne
Jorge was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about Cologne and very helpful with our questions. We enjoyed the tour and Jorge made it more enjoyable.
A brief breath of fresh air in Germany
I actually gave this rating because it was problem-free. It was a lovely day; although many places were closed due to Easter, Cologne was beautiful.
A very memorable day in Cologne & Antwerp!
We had a very great day in Cologne and Antwerp. The tour guide, Jorge, was very informative and he made the trip very interesting. He also made very good recommendations of where to eat or what to try when we were in Cologne and Antwerp. I am very thankful that I booked this trip. I really enjoyed it!
Amazing Germany Tour with Mr Jeorge
Mr Jeorge was an amazing tour guide – knowledgeable, very friendly, and even talented in taking photos. The tour from the Netherlands to Germany was truly worth it, such a beautiful place to visit. Highly recommended! Amigo Tours has been excellent so far!
