The tour was great! We were three non beer drinkers and it was one of our favourite things we did over the weekend! It was really nice going to the different beer houses and learn about them. Kim was a great guide and had lots of interesting information to share with us

Bernie was an excellent tour guide. Great knowledge of Cologne and the history of the area. Fun personality and very easy to talk to. We all had a great time. I would highly recommend if you want to get out and have a few drinks, learn about the area and see some cool places!
