Fun, entertaining, and informational! - Devis was a great guide and was accommodating to my mom’s slower walking speed. We all had such a fun time! You pay as a group, so be sure to have some €2 and €0.50 pieces. We had four in our group so a €10 bill worked for each place.

Disappointing….. - We were hoping for a more informative trip! In reality we were taken to 3 bars and bought ourselves a drink in each, with minimal information about the breweries or the Altstadt. We should have visited 4 bars but Newcastle United’s Toon Army blocked our path…. but no alternative was suggested! Our guide was a lovely man ….. but didn’t really impart much more than basic Kölsch-drinking etiquette and a brief explanation of the history of Köbers. Our evening was rescued by the lovely company of our fellow group-members!
