English guided tour (other languages offered)
Cologne Fragrance Museum
We had an issue with our original booking. The ticket company cancelled our booking but never informed us. We showed up for our tour only to be told it wasn’t going ahead. Thankfully the staff at the museum sorted the problem and we were able to join a tour the next day. However, if this had been our last day it would have been more disappointing. Aside from this, we really enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was knowledgeable about the history and kept things quite fun. The price (€5) is super cheap and well worth it. You even get a small bottle of the world’s first cologne which was a lovely souvenir. I actually would’ve liked to pay a little extra for a longer tour because it was so interesting and the guide was great. I would highly recommend this tour. Very cheap, with great staff and tour guide.
I have to admit that it was the first time hearing about this name, from our guide on the little train touring the streets of the city. As I am a fragrance buff, it piqued my curiosity and we went to see the place next day. It is very interesting and in my opinion, their products are more pleasant than the traditional 4711 brand. However, the prices are significantly higher as well. A small bottle can make a very nice souvenir or gift.

The true history of 'Eau de Cologne'!
Ferenc
, Jul 2020
Very interesting to find out everything about the origins of the oldest perfume house in the world! The guided tour was a bit of history, but also practical. Lovely to see the ancient bottles and perfume production artifacts in the cellars of the original building from 1709, and do a smelling exercise ourselves! All in all, a memorable experience!

The tour is pretty informational and the price is fair with a free sample of 5ml original perfume. Good to know that #4711is not the same as Farina.

I had no idea of the history of Eau de Cologne and the links to the city. It was not only an insightful tour, but as a perfume lover it was wonderful to have the chance to learn the different notes etc in the process.
