Rides for individuals, couples, groups or companies
Rickshaw driving is just my thing!
The people of Cologne sometimes like to confuse me with myself. But with all solidarity and philanthropy, there is a clear distinction between your thing and my thing: ding and ming. Everyone in the team says: ‘Driving a rickshaw is exactly ming thing’: passion, mission, profession.
And because the Ming dynasty belongs to imperial China and the Japanese word rickshaw stands for a human-powered vehicle, it was immediately clear to us long-established Cologne residents:
We are Ming Rickshaw. The name says it all: Identity, aspiration, joy and responsibility. Our daily challenge, which we enjoy very much.
Rickshaw rides are everything. Just not routine.
Rickshaw taxi rides – Why?
Because the traffic flows on the cycle path
Traffic jams or standing in the bus – no problem
And you will arrive safely everywhere.
Eco-passenger transport
Sounds quite reasonable and unspectacular. It is. But it can certainly bring enlightening aha experiences. The less CO2, the better for the climate. Every rickshaw ride a bit more quality of life and satisfaction.
People and the world can breathe a sigh of relief. It pays off in the long run, economically and ecologically. For a prosperous coexistence. For people and nature. Globally and locally. Truly exemplary: private short-distance passenger transport.
Giro Colonia – City tours
are an event with us! And if you
Or not. You get what you want.
Our sightseeing will be brightening
The beauty of your Ming Rickshaw ride is that you’re close to everything. To the sights, to the pulse of time, to the original Cologne lifestyle. Your drivers are your guides. They know more about Cologne than Google. Well, almost. To be more precise: they know what you can’t Google, what the people of Cologne experience here in everyday life. You’re welcome to ask them anything on the tour. Yes, almost everything. And please: Talk to the driver during the ride. She’s not out of breath, after all, because she’s driving with a turbo battery.
Ring-Ring wedding rides
Stretch limousine? Golden carriage? – Lame ducks from lame ducks? We have something more
original. You’ll never guess!
Raising a family in an eco-sulki
not at the expense of the children. It’s sustainably better: eco-bio-CO2-neutral wedding and honeymoon shuttle service. From flower arrangements and champagne to violin music and more – everything as you like it: full service or under your own management. The full programme or as an economy version. After-party drive home for the guests? Talk to us, we’ll sort it out. Ming Rickshaw wedding offers with fairytale make-a-wish modules.
Sparkling champagne rides
Raspberry ice cream for breakfast? – Nope.
Rock’n’roll in the lift? – Nope.
Prefer a champagne picnic in the countryside? – Yeah!
Pass your exams? Got a job?
Found a flat or got engaged? There are a thousand good reasons to celebrate life, to toast the Virgin Mary, to toast each other in a promising way or to get drunk in any other meaningful way. And as Beelzebub would have it, that’s exactly why we know the most beautiful routes to the most secluded corners. And afterwards also the straight way back, when your gaze only turns in circles … Full service or economy version? Let’s talk about it.
Rickshaw tours through Cologne – You don’t know what you’re missing!
Bar, bistro and brewery tour
Cologne has more beer brands than city districts. More pubs than altars. More cocktail bars than
churches. And yet there are so many sacred things here.
Culinary à la Cologne: „Kölscher Klüngel“ live!
An offer you can’t refuse. We’ll deliver fine Epicurs to the knife – at the dining table. To be more precise: we’ll take you to the finest gourmet tables, fast-food restaurants, bars, pubs and the hottest insider tips – as long as they show respect and trust us: People know each other, people help each other. Long-established rickshaw couriers personally hold out their hand to the chef at every pub appointment. Of course, nothing comes from nothing ? They know the network of organised culinary delights and are also sometimes available for cruder jokes.
Wire rope act on high tours
Only the tough ones get into the ropeway, the climbing forest or the high ropes course.
You float high above things
Meanwhile, we drive to the pick-up meeting point. You want to leave the Flora, Zoo or Rheinpark behind you? Do you have higher expectations and more ambitious goals?
Then ride with us: faster further higher. We go further than our competitors, you bet! With the latest 150 A/h batteries, we are unrivalled. Unique. Top design, top batteries, luxury seats, performance: All-round top form at full speed.
Churches tour
Gothic cathedral, Romanesque churches, synagogue, central mosque hold secrets all their own.
Mysterious!
Churches, monasteries, clergy – the chronicle of a crisis. Chronicle of a crisis.
Lined up like a string of pearls, you will experience monastery after church of your choice. There is something for everyone. Even quiet places of contemplation. Many people in Cologne describe their relationship to salvation with a wink, saying that it is question-worthy and mystical in the best sense of the word: ‘Maybe I’ll have to take care of it after all’ – Cologne’s cardinals and monks are truly a cross to bear. Thank God they are not all bad. I have seen women praying for such old people. Even on the way back to the cathedral! Unbelievable!
Art, design and architec-tours
War bombs are not to blame for everything. Many a building sin is the fault of Cologne’s fools.
Occasionally you can see very beautiful corners. – Yes? Where?
Art in buildings and buildings for art:
Kolumba, Tanzbrunnen, Rheinphilharmonie … exhibition, installation, performance, festival … Cologne is bursting with creativity and teeming with museums, stages and studios.
Not only for the ArtCologne or for the commemoration before the monument. If the roads are too long and the long music night too short, turbo rickshaws will reach many destinations of your choice faster. Sometimes more is more. Discover art fair – powered by Ming Rickshaw.
About us
Ming Rickshaw Cologne: The best guests, a fleet of rickshaws, a great climate and a team with intimate knowledge of everything that goes with it. Active rickshawing can be addictive. I am the living proof: After having worked as a freelancer for others for many years, I started my own business in 2006 because I was dissatisfied. Not with the rickshaw itself, but with everything else that goes with it. Especially the content as well as the interaction with the passengers and us staff. I wanted to and could do better. Friendlier, more
benevolent, fairer, more innovative. That’s exactly why you won’t find anything comparable in the
industry. Neither technically, nor professionally, nor humanly.
