Fun event - Emre was enthusiastic and interesting. He definitely liked sharing history of Cologne. Enjoyed sampling beverages from three local breweries plus a walk through Cologne’s Old Town. This was a fun tour where we met people from Germany, England, Ireland, Canada and USA. Simply a great social event! Emre thank you for a fun afternoon!

Fantastic social experience and a great day out - Brilliant way to spend a few hours in Cologne. Our guide Emre was super knowledgeable and had all kinds of interesting facts, not just about the Kölsch beer and its breweries but also about the history of the city, its community and local culture. For around £24 a fun tour lasting 2+ hours including visits to three beer houses and a local beer in each one was good value for money. But my favourite part of all especially as a solo traveller was meeting amazing people who were on the tour. I made friends and great contacts from around the world. I would recommend the Kolsch brewery tour to anyone visiting Cologne and will certainly be doing similar tours to this on future visits to other cities.

Too many customers for 1 guide. - Our guide made the most of a challenging situation when another guide did not show-up and he was left with leading two groups / double the size, which made it far more challenging for everyone to hear to what the guide was saying / a less personal experience for all.

Beer tour - Bit too noisy for such a large group. More info about area and history would be better and smaller group
