What people are saying about Altstadt, Düsseldorf

Our JGA was a great success! Great tour, great guide and we experienced Düsseldorf from its sweet side like never before. Mixed with humor and a bit of history, it never gets boring! The delicacies were super varied and it never got boring. Also great: It is not a course event. You don't have to enter a shop and you still get everything to try. If you like, you can of course buy additional items afterwards, but everything is totally free and without compulsion. Full marks for this tour!

I gave my boyfriend the "Sweet Treats Tour in Düsseldorf" for his birthday and we were both very excited. Our guide, Philipp, gave us many small delicacies to try and we were spoiled with a unique culinary experience. We also learned a lot of background information about the respective cafés. The tour is especially recommended for those with a sweet tooth :)

Philipp and Kathi do this tour with so much passion that one is simply infected. We laughed a lot, learned something about the different shops and got to know delicious sweets in Düsseldorf.

A great event, very creatively designed and led very empathetically by our host/guide.

Sehr gute Tour mit eine gute Mix von verschiedene Süßigkeiten
