Micheal was the best guide we could have asked for, a fascinating, funny, and boozy afternoon on a cold day in cologne is exactly what was needed and the tour provided that exactly. A must do for anyone visiting cologne!

Fantastic Beer Tour!

We had the most amazing time touring Cologne and tasting various Kölsch with Michael. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and flexible. We were able to go with the flow and take a little longer at some stops. Hands down one of the best, if not the best, beer tours we’ve ever taken. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to learn to drink like a local!

We went to four brewhouses and basically had the same beer at each place. The buildings were unique and interesting, but that’s about it. Guide was ok. Not worth the cost.

Hi Jennette, Thank you for your feedback! We are really sorry that you did not entirely enjoy the tour! Usually our guides will tell you a lot of facts and stories about the beer and also the city. The beer you had is the typical local style of beer, which is produced by different breweries. As they are all the same style, of course they are quite similar. Still most of our guests taste the fine difference. We are always striving to get better and we highly appreciate your feedback! We would be very thankful, if you could give us further feedback by email! Cheers, Michael

Keins. Es war "betreutes Kölsch trinken". Keine Informationen. Jeder hat 12€ bezahlt und vier Kölsch bekommen. Ich habe Hannah darauf aufmerksam machen müssen, dass uns noch wenigstens ein Kölsch zusteht, für das wir ja bezahlt hatten. Schade

Die Tour war klasse, der Tourguide Michael war sehr sympathisch! Er hat uns viele Geschichten über die Kölner Brauhauskultur, aber auch über die Stadt selbst erzählt. Jeder, der gemütlich bei ein paar Kölsch etwas über die Stadt, über das Kölsche Bier und über alte Brautradtition erfahren will, ist hier absolut richtig. Sehr empfehlenswert :)
