Our Revier: that’s us
RevierTouristik is at home in the Ruhr region, and you can really feel that in everything we do. Because ‘Revier’ is more than just a place. It’s a way of life: honest, down-to-earth and direct, yet open, creative and always on the move. We believe that you can’t just visit this region – you have to experience it.
That’s why we’re not a traditional transport company that simply takes people from A to B. RevierTouristik is an experience and tourism brand. Our tours are urban experiences: full of atmosphere, fresh perspectives and stories that bring the Ruhr area to life – from industrial heritage and transformation to its green spaces and favourite urban spots. It’s not about dry facts, but about what sticks with you: impressions, emotions, special moments.
And because genuine experiences often arise from strong partnerships, we collaborate where it makes sense: with organisations and providers that make the Ruhr region special. This results in tours that combine transport, culture and atmosphere, and which showcase just how diverse the region is.
We deliberately cater to both: visitors discovering the Ruhr region for the first time and locals looking to be surprised. Because even if you live here, there are still corners, backdrops and stories you haven’t experienced quite like this before. Modern, high-quality and accessible – that’s how we see RevierTouristik. Hop on, arrive, and let yourself be carried away.
We offer a wide range of city tours, themed tours, combined tours, city cruises, event tours and seasonal highlights such as the XMAS-EXPRESS or the Sundowner Tour. We also organise bespoke charter trips and shuttle services.
Yes! All our tours can be customised – for example, with special routes, additional stops or themed highlights. We can also organise bespoke tours for companies, groups or private events.
Our fleet includes open-top double-decker buses, modern coaches and public service buses, historic vintage buses, as well as specialised vehicles for events and transfers. This means we can find the right vehicle for every occasion.
No. Our vehicles do not usually have a toilet, as they are used for regular scheduled services.
Exception: On charter journeys with a coach, there may be an on-board toilet.
No. Out of consideration for other passengers and for organisational reasons, pets are not permitted on public sightseeing tours – no matter how friendly or small your beloved pet may be.
Yes, that is possible – provided you book in advance, at least three working days before the journey. This allows us to check which vehicle is suitable and ensure that everything runs smoothly.
Yes, it is generally possible to bring them with you, provided there is sufficient space in the vehicle. As capacity is limited, we would ask you to book in advance in this case as well.
