Berlin History AND great beer! Unbeatable. - What a delicious surprise this tour was! I’ve been on a number of ‘pub tours’, all over the UK and Europe, but this one, with the amount of history it contains, was really on a whole different level. The history managed to be mostly beer-specific but was able to encompass most if not all of Berlin’s complex history; every beer had a context. And it was all because of a wonderful, personable and astoundingly knowledgeable tour guide named Cairan. He doesn’t just have a nearly encyclopedic knowledge of Berlin history and history in general. It’s very clear that he *loves* history and loves that he gets to talk to us about it. This ended up being, no kidding, the highlight of my Berlin vacation. If you love learning the history of the place you are visiting, and you also happen to like beer, you can’t do better than an afternoon with Cairan.

Pubs & History abound! - We had a fantastic time out and about in Berlin with Cairan! His knowledge of world history, specifically Germany, was such a delight as it added context to our journey across the city with fun stops and plenty of great beer! Highly recommend this tour!

An awesome Bier- und Kneipentour in Berlin - It was a really worth experience! My friends and me had a really pleasant and funny tour with our guide Darren, around Berlin and some of its historical pubs. There, we could try historical Berliner beers, even tried by Napoleon and beers tastes that I had never tried before. This was together with backgrounds on important history events that contributed to shape the city, as well as history on the beer varieties that we tried. Also Darren made us feel as we were just in a very familiar well-known group of friends, so we enjoyed very much the nice, funny and relaxed atmosphere! It's very worth to spend a nice time with friends and learn more on the beers, "Kneipen" and on Berlin itself at the same time. Darren is a very well prepared, friendly and witty guide!

Great guide and beers in East Berlin - Our guide Cairan was amazing! We found him to be friendly, extremely knowledgeable and he took us to some great places. It was a great introduction to East Germany and German beer! I highly recommend this tour and it’s a bonus to have Cairan as your guide! Thanks for a fun afternoon in East Berlin!

A great time - One of our favorite parts of our trip. Felt less like a formal tour and more like hanging out with some fellow travelers. We loved all the beers we got to try and really enjoyed seeing the different architecture around the city.

Beer tour in Berlin - Paul met us at St Mary's church and gave us a tour that covered more than just the history of pubs and breweries. His manner was entertaining and welcoming. The photos he showed us of historic Berlin were well chosen and well organised. The beers we drank were mostly on his recommendation and we found them to our liking. We were lucky with the fine sunny day that was not too hot. Much of our walk was beside the Spree river and he gave us a history of the bridges we passed. The group was composed mainly of Australians and Americans but there was one Irishman, which was ironic because Paul is Irish. We so enjoyed the final stop, Berlin's St George Brewery, that we stayed on for dinner, and it was delicious. Weaving home after five beers was something of an adventure but we all agreed that it was a tour worth taking.

Off the beaten path - Paul, did a fantastic job of showing us a off the beaten path of Berlin! Along with some very refreshing cold beers. If this is the only tour you have time for? Do it. If you have more time, it is well worth the little unknown facts that you get to see.
