Fun tour! Having a guide for Kolsch was a smart call on our part. - Got a fantastic overview of various types of Kolsch beers offered in Koln/Colonge. Our guide was Bernie and a trainee named Vincent was there from the Kolsch crew. Bernie was very knowledgeable. There was one other couple so it was intimate and a load of fun learning the German customs, forgetting to place the coaster on top of the beer, and seeing the various breweries along with interesting historical facts along our walks. Highly recommend if you want an overview of various breweries and a fun tour. Bernie did an excellent job in explaining popular culture too along with showing us important items in each Brew house.

Cologne super fun pub crawl - It is a fast paced pub crawl. Very fun, but light on the history lessons. Great off the beaten path locations and good tips for navigating the Cologne beer pubs

Beware the small print! - I booked this for my husband's birthday. We quickly ate and then rushed to get there as we had other things on. When we got there, nobody was there and then on rechecking the time on Viator I found a message saying it had been cancelled (only 2 hours before the start) due to not enough people signing up. On checking the small print in the description it says:- "This experience requires a minimum number of travellers. If it’s cancelled because the minimum isn’t met, you’ll be offered a different date/experience or a full refund" It hadn't occurred to me that it could be cancelled once booked so I didn't realise to keep checking the Viator messages. A phone call would have been appreciated. Or even better no cancellation!
