Any walking tours (in English) in Cologne or nearby?
I'll be in Cologne, Germany a few days this summer.
Usually when I'm staying alone in a city (assuming I have time) I'll try to find a walking tour of some sort as it gives me an opportunity to meet other travelers as well as do some sightseeing. I'm, however, not meeting with any success in Cologne.
Can anyone point me at a walking tour, in or near Cologne? I'm prepared to take a train ride as far as one hour away so options in nearby cites, such as Bonn, are valid answers.
It needs to be suitable for a single person joining a tour. I have found a few where you can book a walking tour for an entire group of people, but that is obviously unsuitable for me. And it needs to be in English. My German isn't nearly good enough for this.

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.
