Our 10 party strong, group of females enjoyed a tremendous time with our guide Noel. Although the tour is not vastly varied in terms of number of locations - the visits we made & the experiences we had were superb - Tx in no small part to the efforts of Noel. I think I can speak for the majority in stating that we would have no hesitation in recommending this experience for anyone visiting Munich.

I forgot the name of our guide. Sorry. But he’s from Ireland. (I’m so sorry, I forgot your name). He was very knowledgable about the beers that we tried. I learned a lot about the different kinds Of beer, the ingredients, and the history. I would love to do this tour again if I visit Munich next time. Thank you for the experience.

The tour is an great way to learn about Munich beer culture. It’s also a really nice way to meet people over 3 hours. It was exactly what I wanted (sociable and informative). There are a couple of free drinks (at the time of this review). Our guide Noel Byrnes was excellent. I cannot recommend this enough.
