Great experience - "Cheerleader" Felix was an excellent guide, he made the tour a lot of fun. The tour is really fun and takes you off the beaten path to see some truly special Brauhauses. A must do for a visit to Cologne.

- We booked this tour without expectations and notions. Doro, who accompanied our tour, accompanied us from the first moment totally sweet and sympathetic. We visited 3 breweries and got a lot of background information and insider knowledge. Doro made the tour unforgettable with her charm, sympathy and humor. My boyfriend and I were totally thrilled and can only recommend it! Thank you Doro, you were great!

Enjoyable evening - Lukas was enthusiastic and interesting. Took awhile to get to the point, but that seemed partly intentional. Enjoyed hearing about the history of brewhouses in Cologne. Tasty beer!

Difficult to hear the tour guide properly - The tour guide was a nice guy with good English. However he spoke rather quickly and the area and beerhouses were very noisy, as it was Saturday early evening. So a lot of what he said was not heard very well by most. We booked the tour at 15.00 but it was moved to 17.00 and by then everywhere was pretty busy/loud.
