Most tours start at the Tourist-Information in the Altstadt (Old Town). Address: Rheinstraße 3, right next to the Uerige brewery. The meeting point can be changed by arrangement. The meeting point is stated on the booking confirmation.

There are clear starting points that are an integral part of each tour. However, the tour guides are responsible for the itinerary. You are welcome to let us know your preferences in advance if there is a particular place or attraction that is important to you. We will be happy to pass this on to the tour guides.

The tours take place regardless of weather conditions. 
In the event of a weather warning from the German Weather Service (level 1–2 / yellow-orange), our guide will decide on site whether the tour can be conducted without danger. If your tour is canceled, we will contact you on the following working day. 
If there is a severe weather warning from the German Weather Service (level 3–4 / red-dark red), we will contact you and offer you a free rebooking or cancellation.

The 9 golden rules for your city tour

We look forward to welcoming you to our city tour! To ensure that your tour and the experience are as enjoyable as possible for all participants, we have summarised our ‘Nine Golden Rules’ for you.  

They are simple and fair and ensure that we all have a good time together:

1. Be punctual

It is best to arrive 10 minutes before the start so that we can set off together in a relaxed manner. This way, we can start on time and you won't miss any exciting moments.

2. Alcohol? Better after the tour

An Alt beer will taste just as good later. Unfortunately, anyone who is already heavily intoxicated or drinks during the tour will not be able to join us. For tours with planned tastings, of course, cheers – but enjoy in moderation.  

3. Stay focused

Your guide puts a lot of heart and soul into the tour – show respect, listen and feel free to ask questions. Curiosity, humour and open ears are the best way to experience Düsseldorf.

4. Dress appropriately

Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes – we do a lot of walking, often on cobblestones in the old town and in all weathers.

5. Respect comes first

A smile works wonders! Treat your guide, the group and everyone we meet with respect. Insults or offensive behaviour have no place on our tour.

6. Be aware of your surroundings

We are moving through the heart of city life – be mindful of traffic, residents and other visitors. Leave enough space for others so that everyone feels comfortable.

7. No rubbish, no drama

We love our city – help us keep it clean. Take your rubbish with you or dispose of it in the designated bins. This way, Düsseldorf stays beautiful for everyone.

8. Follow your guide

Your guide knows the route, the rules and what we need to watch out for in Düsseldorf. Please always follow the instructions so that we can travel safely as a group.

9. Observe the rules

Our guides pay attention to the safety and mood of the entire group. Anyone who is disrespectful or intoxicated will unfortunately not be able to continue participating. This is a shame, but it is fair to everyone else.

You will find the name of the guide and their cell phone number in the booking confirmation. However, this number is only intended for emergencies, for example, if your group is running late on the day of the tour. If you have any change requests, please contact us.

You will receive the invoice together with the booking confirmation or separately by email from our team before the tour. Cash payments on site are not possible. Private city tours can be paid by bank transfer or credit card.

Cancellation of a private tour is free of charge up to 7 days before the tour. Rebooking is also free of charge up to 24 hours in advance. Please email us your change requests to: [email protected] or to your respective contact person.

Some of our tours include a small group discount. The discount is usually applicable for up to 10 participants. We do not offer discounts for seniors.

Depending on availability, we can provide a guide for your desired date. To do so, we need the following information: Name of the bus company, contact or mobile phone number of the tour guide or bus driver. This information is important for our guides and ensures that everything runs smoothly. Please send your inquiries to the City Tours section.
