Nice experience with good direction - We visited 4 breweries and a kiosk and always got a short explanation. It's just a pity that only the first three taverns had a Kölsch for free. The last two had to be paid for and that at a price of 28.00 euros on this tour, you cannot understand. The visit to the kiosk is a gift. Result: not bad, but works better.

Nice way to see Cologne - Nice way to see the inside of some of the old pubs in Cologne , beer was nice and reasonably priced for the two we had to buy. Thought it was a waste of time visiting a Kiosk and buying a beer from the Kiosk that we drank outsideon the footpath.

Not DE experience I was looking for - It's quite nice to see DE breweries all once, but I had the feeling that I could do dot myself without booking DER the tour. Each time a story was told for DE brewery or DE ns walk to it, but in the brewery you sat down alone, you got a beer and little was told. So I would definitely DE recommend going to the breweries sometime, but would do it without a tour if you are not interested in just a few short facts about kölsch. DE guide Izzy was very nice there EN against and knew how to tell everything in a nice way, hence 3 stars instead of 2.
