Was an interesting tour. Be aware that the tour guide will ask you for 10 euro per person on top of the tour price to cover the cost of the drinks.

Last Saturday we joined this tour and we were quite disappointed to be honest. We knew we wouldn't get any "free" beers, as these weren't included. But as this was a guided tour, we expected a bit more guidance. We had a really nice guide, she had answers to all our questions. But overall, she took us from one brewhouse to the next one and ordered beers. We could have done this by ourselves as well. If you're a single traveler and don't want to go by yourself, this tour would be a nice way to find some company. But if you are, like we were, with some friends. You might as well do this by yourself and save the 20 euros. Which is way too much considering what we got out of it! The only extra we got out of it, was the visit to the basement of one of the brewhouses, which is mostly closed to the public.

Our guide met us promptly at Heumarkt and then took a large group of us to 4 of the bierhaus' in Cologne. The guide was really knowledgeable, not just about Kolsch and the etiquette in the brewhouses, but they also knew detailed histories of Cologne, the families that owned each brewhouse and we learnt a bit about the famous Cologne carnival too. Great way to familiarise yourself with the city, its culture and learn a bit as well... and the beers not bad either!

Great information, well-organised and Nico was a very nice guide. He was enthusiastic and knew his history well. It was a cool experience.

A very enjoyable sampling of Kolsch with some cultural history along the way. I recommend sampling the Wiess (not Weiss) as well. It is an older version of Kolsch that has more ale yeast characteristics.

I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this tour! Rebecca was not only a volume of information about Colognes history, she shared it in such a fun and relaxing way. Compared to a similar tour we went on in Brussels she was a night and day difference. Based on that other tour we almost did not book this one so we are so happy we did! The group size was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed all their company as well. Even if you don't "love" beer I would highly recommend this tour just for the history.

We had so much fun! We enjoyed the beer. We enjoyed the people. We enjoyed the history. It was just FUN! 🍺

Great tour, very informative, delicious beer and great ambiance. Nico was a great guide, knew his stuff and was professional but fun.

Guide was knowledgeable (I forget her name) and was able to communicate easily with us in English. Will definitely visit some of the Brauhäuser again when in Köln next for football.
