Very informative! Steph did an awesome job answering our questions and giving information about the brewing process along with history about the area!
Paul_H, May 2026
This is a great tour for those who love beer and want to know the history of beer in Munich. It is a good pace and the beers were delicious.
David_D, May 2026
Bring a bottle of water as it can be quite dry. There was not alot of flexibility with ordering so beware.
Joe_E, May 2026
We had a great experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable, the locations were easy to access and the walk around Munich was nice. The beer was exceptional and the staff at the locations were very friendly and helpful. It was a very fun evening.
JOHN_M, May 2026
The brewery was pretty limited, but the guide did a great job hosting the tour. He was knowledgeable and fun to spend the evening with. There might be a better place to end the tour than Hofbrauhaus. Crowds and noise (Friday night) made it difficult to interact with guide and others on the tour.
Shane_S, Dec 2025
Very knowledgeable of Bavarian beer and local items. Noel did a great job of interacting with the group.
Stephen_O, Nov 2025
This was a fun way to spend a few hours. Noel met with us in the Marienplatz and we took the metro (fare included) to one of the major Munich breweries. We were able to go into the basement and see some of the industrial equipment and learn about the brewing process. We then had a beer and pretzel upstairs. Next we headed to a different bar where we learned about Octoberfest and had some more beer. Finally, we ended back at a giant beer hall near the Marienplatz. Overall this was great fun. Noel was knowledgeable and his personality and experience made the tour. Highly recommend.
Brian_D, Sep 2025

DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR....
You do not get to go to a real brewery it is a small micro brewery in the basement of a resturant. We were all put at different tables. We do these tours to meet other people. You could do this on your own. We did not go to the Hofbrauhaus (beer hall). The guide took us to a cafe. Our group had over 32 people. Tour was advertised as 24. Our guide could not handle this many people. Use a different tour company for your tours...
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Hello,
yes, you are correct. It's a small micro brewery.
The big brewery are industrial companies where you see nothing. Everything is in stainless kegs and pipes and computerized.
Here in this brewery it 's still real crasftmanship.
Kind regards
Ralph

This was an excellent tour with very kind and fun guides. Thomas & Steve were knowledgeable and shared their love of beer and Munich with our group. They even adjusted the itinerary to bring us for a visit to the Fruhlingsfest grounds, which was truly unique and much appreciated. I did a different beer tour years ago and this tour was far more enjoyable. You can't go wrong booking this tour, thanks again Thomas & Steve!

"Met the guide at the agreed place and time. Traveled to a brewery where we received an introduction to beer brewing and a tour of the microbrewery. We were also served beer and pretzels. Then we moved on to the next watering hole with a new beer. After that, we continued to Hofbrauhaus where we spent the evening on our own. The guide was very enthusiastic and accommodating. All in all, a good experience that can be recommended.
Jane_D, Mar 2025
Guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable, good sense of humour, talked to everyone in the group to make them feel included. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend.
Kathleen_M, Dec 2024
Really fun and interesting experience! Is less of a brewery tour through Munich and more of a visit to 2 beer halls and more learning about the beer history in the country/city--but looking at it more that way, it was a good introduction/educational session on beer-making and history and a fun way to meet people and have a few drinks for a night!
George_H, Dec 2024
What a wonderful fun tour. Our guide Erik was excellent and quite informative
We saw several locations and of course drank different beers. A to do when in Germany. Well worth it
Rosemary_Q, Dec 2024
Thomas was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and professional. Loved the tour. He was funny and set the tone for a fun festive evening.
Nathan_M, Dec 2024
Tour guide was knowledgeable, funny, entertaining, and created an environment of fun. Local locations were great to see and gave a quick lay of the land. I would recommend anyone to do this on their first day of Munich!
Alton_C, Nov 2024
Amazing tour! My wife and I had an amazing time touring Munch learning about the breweries and pubs. Great beer and made some friends along the way. PROST!!!
BRUCE_C, Oct 2024

Anna_F, Jun 2024
Great night with our guide, Irish Noel. He was very knowledgeable about not just the breweries he took us too but also gave us great tips on sightseeing. Thanks Noel from your Aussie mates.
Anthony_P, Jun 2024
Had a great evening in Munich town! Michael was very informative and happy to talk about anything related to beer and more……
Had a great time, met 3 other people from Perth, so that was a weird coincidence, but we all enjoyed ourselves very much.
Highly recommend- get onto it!
matthew_h, May 2024
Interesting and well run brewery tour with Thomas, thomas created a comfortable atmosphere on the tour and was a great experience all round highly recommend
Brian_M, May 2024
This was an enjoyable tour. Thomas, our guide, explained things well and managed the group well (there were 19 people I think).
We learnt new things about beer and the history of beer making in Munich. We had fun trying some new beers with other people in the group. The overall ambience of the tour was a sociable one,
Karen_C, Mar 2024
Shouldn't be sold as a brewery visit. We made the most of it and we had fun meeting up with other people, but this is a pub crawl. Firstly, you will visit a restaurant bar to have a pint. Then you will go to a bar owned by Paulaner's. That's the only brewery you will see and don't expect anything big, it's just the brewery for the bar itself. The guide did a great job explaining the processes, but bear in mind that the entrance to the bar is free and the only good thing is that you will access to the fermentation room and the beans room. Then, after having a drink at the bar, you go to HB, which is also free and open to the public. The guide brings you to the bar and leaves you there, there are no reserved seats, so if you go in high season, don't expect to be seated.. I'm writing this review just because I felt cheated with description and hopefully someone else finds it useful. I'd say if you want to visit these 2 places, you'd be better doing it on your own, no need to spend this much.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Dear Karen,
the tour is called beer and brewery. Which means that not only brewerys are to be shown.
You saw a brewery which is the Paulaner. It also doesn´t say to show you the main big Paulaner brewery which isn´t in the citycentre. Yes the brewery is, if you compare it to big brewerys, a bit small. The entrance isn´t free to the brewery. We have to pay entrance to see all the technic. And it´s actually a restaurant too and not a bar.
Yes, the entrance for the Hofrbäuhaus is free... But you would miss a lot of informations about this historic place without the guide.
Emma_B, Feb 2024
We had a wonderful time with our tour guide Noel, can’t recommend enough! He made it a truly interesting experience with not only information on the Bavarian beer and breweries but also historical facts and tips for our stay. If we could give home more than 5 stars we would! His tour was one of the highlights of our visit.
Eirik_B, Jan 2024
Thank you for the fun and informative time, Noel! Enjoyed my time and I learned alot. Will definitely recommend this to any other travellers.
Shirley_B, Dec 2023
Thomas was very knowledgeable about the history of beer in Munich and we enjoyed hearing him tell it. He was funny and kind and we would most definitely do another tour with Thomas!
Taylor_L, Dec 2023

Maria_G, Nov 2023
