Schiffstour und Juwelen romanischer Kunst in Köln

In the organizer's words:

There are actually people in Cologne who have never been on a boat tour on the Rhine. For them and others, we have a new combined offer: two highlights in one tour. First, we sail for 90 minutes, with live moderation on several open decks,
along the Cologne skyline. We hear legends and true stories of Cologne's saints, medieval trade and pilgrims.
