Our guide Maika was amazing. She did a great job explaining the process of the making of Kolsch. She was very knowledgeable about the history in Cologne. She had lots of energy and made the tour a fun experience.

Ask for cheerleader Felix

Stacey_M, Dec 2025
Cheerleader Felix did an amazing job on your! Really nice, funny and informative. I do think the experience should be promoted as a pub tour versus a brewery tour but truly enjoyed the experience!

Julien was amazing.. very...

Lovely experience....

Sam_C, Oct 2025
Lovely experience. Learned about different Kolsh in addition to Cologne history. I thought the guide was knowledgeable. This was in English. They also offer other ones in different languages - which I thought was cool.

Amazing Beer Tour through Cologne

Wonderful tour and so much info on the area and the beer culture! Our guide Maike was a lovely girl who was knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about her city! Would recommend!

Great experience

"Cheerleader" Felix was an excellent guide, he made the tour a lot of fun. The tour is really fun and takes you off the beaten path to see some truly special Brauhauses. A must do for a visit to Cologne.

Enjoyable evening

Brenda_M, Aug 2025
Lukas was enthusiastic and interesting. Took awhile to get to the point, but that seemed partly intentional. Enjoyed hearing about the history of brewhouses in Cologne. Tasty beer!

Too many customers for 1 guide.

Keith_R, May 2025
Our guide made the most of a challenging situation when another guide did not show-up and he was left with leading two groups / double the size, which made it far more challenging for everyone to hear to what the guide was saying / a less personal experience for all.

Beer tour

Lynn_W, May 2025
Bit too noisy for such a large group. More info about area and history would be better and smaller group

Fun event

Randal_K, Apr 2025
Emre was enthusiastic and interesting. He definitely liked sharing history of Cologne. Enjoyed sampling beverages from three local breweries plus a walk through Cologne’s Old Town. This was a fun tour where we met people from Germany, England, Ireland, Canada and USA. Simply a great social event! Emre thank you for a fun afternoon!

Recommended Brauhaus tour!

hemjx, Apr 2025
Friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining trip over two hours around a variety of Brauhaus. Lukas was great, highly recommended. He offered plenty of advice about what to see in Cologne and patiently answered our questions. Great value. Thanks.

Good Kolsch/Cologne tour

Andrew_N, Mar 2025
This was a fun tour and worth the money. Our guide, Pit, shared fun and informative facts about Cologne, the culture, and the beer. It was well managed and a good time.

great time

Frank_U, Oct 2024
Good walking tour of Cologne interspersed with a solid knowledge of local beer. The pubs chosen gave a good breadth of Cologne Kolsch

Knowledgeable and Fun!

Valerie_S, Sep 2024
Thank you Fernando for a great tour. He was very knowledgeable about the city and the breweries he took us through. He gave the group a choice between places based on what we preferred (inside vs outside) and a spot with a great interior vs a spot with the best beer. He also was very communicative and understanding when our bus dropped us off 5 minutes late.

Outstanding

Sandra_W, Nov 2024
Super Tour mit sehr netter Tour Guide Anna 👍, wir hatten einen sehr unterhaltsamen Abend mit viel Infos rund um Brauhäuser und Karneval

Brauhaustour mit Hauke

Angelika_B, Oct 2024
Die Brauhaustour mit Hauke war unterhaltsam und wir haben nicht nur viel über die verschiedenen Kölschsorten und deren Geschichte erfahren, sondern auch nebenbei, viel über verschiedene alte Gemäuer in Köln.Super informativ und lustig.

sehr zu empfehlende Brauhaustour

Celine_C, Jun 2024
Uns hat die Abwechslung zwischen Fakten, Daten und Persönlichem sehr gut gefallen. Eine sehr gute Mischung aus allem! Unser Guide (Flo) war sympathisch und sehr informiert. Unsere Abholung war überpünktlich am vereinbarten Treffpunkt und Wartezeiten gab es kaum. Können diese Tour wirklich weiterempfehlen!

Super moment
