Super cozy - We are so good treating, the guy who told us stories about the city was super nice and funny. Jonathan's name was . We had a super fun night. If we could have this company in other cities again we would do it like this.

Ask for cheerleader Felix - 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!

Wonderful experience! - The tour guide (Onat) was very knowledgeable, engaging and charming. He created a very comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere that took us through some lovely historical sites in Cologne Central area, with a good introduction to the city, history and drinking culture in Germany. He was clearly very passionate and cared about his guests and their experience! Would 100% recommend

Amazing Beer Tour through Cologne - 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.

No brewery seen - It's not a brewery tour sold here, very misleading. It is a visit to 3 brewers houses (large cafes), where you are offered a beer from that brewers house 2,5 euro / piece and those 3 brewers houses are really in a radius of a few hundred meters in the city center. So actually do it yourself for 7.5 euros worth of beer, a fairly expensive trip for what is offered. Didn't see anything from a brewery.

Lovely experience.... - 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.

Grotto Bad - It's a total mess. I took part in the tour as a "spin". There is no sound knowledge that is necessary for this offer. In part, absolute bullshit and bullshit is told. The guides are nice but that doesn't get you anywhere either

Bust - Very unusual and outrageous business charges: booked the brewery tour in October 2025, four days before New Year's Eve was cancelled by means of a softened WhatsApp sent without giving up extraordinary reasons.
