Now there is a Free walking tour in Bonn as well. I’ve participated the last Friday, it was fun
they now have a Fb group but I found them on Instagram @bonn.city.tour

I ultimately found one walking tour in the region, in Bonn to be specific. The website is here.

As the details are buried in a PDF I’ll quote them here.

Bonn – Roman Settlement, Baroque Residence and Beethoven City
Discover Bonn´s numerous sights on a walking tour through the
historical city centre

The historical centre of Bonn offers an abundance of sights which are
easily reached on foot. The major points are the Beethoven monument,
the romanesque Minster Cathedral, the Electors palace (nowadays the
University) with the elegant Hofgarten and the baroque City Hall. The
tour also takes you to the banks of the Rhine, near the Opera, from
which river excursions on the boats of the Weiße Flotte (white fleet)
are possible. The imposing view of Germany´s oldest nature park
Siebengebirge (seven hills) can be seen from the banks of the Rhine.
The tour ends at Ludwig van Beethoven‘s birthplace in the Bonngasse.
Here you have the opportunity to visit Beethoven´s birthplace with the
Digital Beethoven House on your own. The entrance fee must be paid
separately at the Beethoven House.

Date and Time: Saturdays from 27 April to 26 October at 11 am
Meeting place: Bonn-Information, Windeckstraße 1/ am
Münsterplatz
(nearby Minster Cathedral Square)
Duration: around 1 ½ hours
Price: Adults 9 €, with reduction 5 € (children aged 12-17, students, disabled)

I didn’t find out until after I payed, but tour is actually conducted in German and also in English if there are English speaking people joining the tour. As I was the only English speaker in the tour it felt a bit awkward, but the tour was still very interesting and I would recommend it.

Have a look at the offical website for Tourism in Cologne. They have many offers:

eat-the-world.com offers guided tours with food stops. The english one is only on Fridays.

If you decide to visit Bonn you can join a Bonn for Beginners Guided Tour.
Another interesting option is to visit the former German Bundestag in Bonn. There are guided tours on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. However it’s not a walking tour.

Expedia actually has tours on their site, occasionally.

In this instance, it appears as though they have one for Cologne.

However, it’s only on Fridays, and the English one is at 4.30pm, and runs for 1.5 hours.
