Explanations are also available "op bönnsch"
A special feature of the city tours in the convertible bus is the Bonn Canal, on which all explanations and tourist information can be heard in the Bonn dialect during the journey.
The texts were translated from High German and recorded by a true Bonn professional: Elisabeth Schleier, who herself guides guests through Bonn city center and Drachenburg Castle.
In addition to the Bonn channel, there are also German, English, French, Dutch, Spanish and Japanese channels. Other languages, as well as a children's channel, are planned.
