Amazing guide, and very fun experience! Got to try all the best Kolsch but it was really the history element that made it worthwhile:)

What better way to see the city and have the craic, than with a cart full of Kolsch, and silly games. All the guys on the tour had a great time. Thanks Michael for a great day.

We did the Kolsche tour with 5 friends and it was really great. We had the tour with Crazy, a real Kolsch meadje. Which told us all the ins and outs of both koln and the beers and their history. I can really recommend it to everyone, it was more than worth the money. We have been coming to Koln for several years, but now we have also learned a lot from Koln historically

Felicitas N.

Great brewery tour with tour guide Crazy. We visited three breweries and learned a lot about Kölsch and the history of Cologne. Good mix of interesting insights into tradition and the city. Thank you!

Monika R.

Super interesting tour through the breweries. Even though it was packed, Ilona always managed to get seats for us. We not only learned something about beer and brewing, but also a lot about the way of life and the Cologne clique. Thank you Ilona.

Mark W.

Kriss was our guide, tour started at 6.30 prompt and was fun and educational from start to finish. Learned a lot about the Koln beer industry and a good time was had by all. Probably the highlight of out trip to Koln.

Companion Manfred - great guy!

Dave G.

21:09 09 Dec 24

Excellent tour.
Kim was a great guide providing very interesting and useful information in an entertaining and humorous style.

I’d recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys beer and wants to know more about this unique style, you don’t even have to be a big drinker to enjoy.

We visited 4 brauhaus(s) and although each was a Kölsch each had its own character and all were very enjoyable.

Susan O.

12:12 23 Oct 24

Our tour guide, Ilona, was very interesting and took us to 5 wonderful breweries. There were only 5 guests on our tour so it was easy to hear her stories and ask questions. I would definitely recommend this tour and Ilona!

Benjamin K.

13:07 20 Oct 24

Our group took the private brewery tour. The tour was fantastic, leading us through different breweries and enjoy their cellars and outside areas as well and forcing us to focus on the different tastes of the different Kölsch. Zoe was a fantastic guide that had infectious energy that we badly needed. Lots of fun facts and legends about cologne, it’s beer and the people that make and sell it.

Daragh R.

14:52 30 Sep 24

Just back From Köln. We did a private tour with Bernie. It was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Learned loads about Köln's history and the history of Kölsch. Really helped get our bearings for where the good Brew houses were in the city. Bernie was a lovely guide. Highly recommended.

We had an absolutely amazing tour with our guide Kim who showed us around the city. She was a fountain of knowledge about not just the beer we were drinking but about the history of the city itself and her passion for both was obvious. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to experience something different.

Martin Eduardo Hernández (.

Very good tour, you have a pleasant time and it is full of information. Our guide was very friendly and the tour was very fun.

Bernhard L.

13:25 26 Mar 24

As a "local" I was a guest on an English-speaking tour with participants from Mexico, Texas, the Netherlands and the UK - that alone was an enrichment. Rebecca led us through 4 breweries, where, in addition to the beer tasting, she presented many stories about Kölsch, Cologne and Carnival. The group became more relaxed with each round of Kölsch. It was a very successful evening. I can also highly recommend the tour to Cologne residents.

Rocio M

Very good tour. Mary was nice, entertaining and took us to some good breweries. This was the first tour that we took when we arrived and I am really happy that this one the first one. I think it was the perfect way to start our visit to Cologne: visiting the city as locals.

NightRaid

It was an amazing tour, with diffirent beer tastings throughout the city, a verry friendly guide that know much interesting facts about her city.

Binay

10:18 28 Feb 24

Fantastic service and experience. Initially had a minor setback due to an unforseen accident our original tour guide had gotten into. Contacted the company via WhatsApp and it got managed completely and we were still able to join the later day tour instead. Fantastic customer service 👏
The tour itself was full of insightful history and tip & tricks to navigating and ordering at brauhauses. Our guide Gents in particular was very hospitable, friendly and thoughtful for each individual in our group. We were in safe and capable hands 👍. We went to very interesting and distinct brauhauses and had all our answers questioned very well.
Overall very happy with the tour, service and our lovely guide and definitely would recommend the experience!

Laughed a lot and met nice people, but also learned a lot.
Anytime again, many greetings from Wendel and Nicole from Saarland 😎🍺🍺

This is a great tour of beer houses. Chris was our guide and he was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend

Erin

16:15 29 Dec 23

Nice idea and good pubs, but for a brewery tour that charges extra for drinks and doesn't actually make reservations at any of these pubs, I found it overpriced.

Manuel K.

20:44 28 Dec 23

Chris is great!

Ashe P.

04:57 19 Dec 23

Our experience on the Brauhaus Tour was truly exceptional. The tour enlightened us about the rich history of Cologne and provided fascinating insights into its diverse beer culture. Our guide, Kim, was nothing short of amazing – her knowledge and passion made the tour not just informative, but also incredibly enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a perfect blend of history and beer exploration!

Peter B.

It was great !! The meeting point, well, but
then came the guide and the atmosphere
went up. Seen and learned a lot.
Gladly again, keep it up. Thanks

Peter N.

10:59 17 Dec 23

We went as a stag group and were met by Max. He turned up already drunk and walked us to the first of 4 Brauhauses which was full....clearly no pre-booking had been done and we could have just walked into the other bars.. for the amount we paid, we gained some interesting information, but then had to pay for our drinks, his drinks and even a drink for a girl he was chatting up that he put on our tab. I wouldnt recommend the tour.

Our brewery tour in the old town at Kim's was really very interesting and we had a lot of fun. Although we have already done many tours like this, we still all learned something new :) We would definitely recommend a tour with Kim because she did a great job.

Paul S.

Well organised tour, with useful insights into Köln’s Brauhaus scene.

Robert S.

06:35 19 Nov 23

Outstanding in every way, cheerful/fun/knowledgeable guide that talked about more than beer and gave great insight into the history. They also offer to collect 10 euro from beer drinkers to cover the 4 beers so you don’t lose time paying 12 tabs! We all agreed to hit a 5th place and had a blast. Highly recommend!

Devane S.

03:35 19 Nov 23

A lovely way to find out about Cologne's unique beer culture. The local beer, Kölsch, is served in tiny 200 ml glasses

Christoph K.

We did the brewery tour on Saturday. Chris was our guide. We had a very nice evening, with nice stories about Kölsch, Köbes, the breweries, the carnival and many other things. It was really fun and Chris gave us a great tour of the breweries and provided us with all the important information.
I can highly recommend both the tour and Chris as a guide.

A fantastic way to spend an evening in Cologne. A wonderful way to not only learn about the history of brewing and the Brauhaus culture but to learn about the history of the city. Our guide, Rebecca, was great, sharing her passion for the city, the beer and certainly the carnival.

I would recommend this to anyone, a great way to see some of the old city and make new friends.

Also, thank you for the dinner recommendation, the food was fantastic.

Sarah H.

08:20 03 Oct 23

We had a fantastic English language tour with Max as our guide. A really great way to see some of the old city and learn about the history of Kölsch and Cologne, with lots of interesting info that we wouldn't have found out otherwise. Highly recommended! Danke schön Max!

Super organized from the Kölsch Crew. Chris was our guide and we enjoyed the tasty beers and his beautiful stories. Recommended!

Bettina H.

After we had already taken a Segway tour through Cologne with Max, we spontaneously added a 2-hour brewery tour with Max. Max is super personable and funny, the afternoon flew by. Everyone was thrilled - we had a really great afternoon with Max in Cologne. Thank you and gladly again :-)

Daniel T.

14:55 28 Sep 23

Our work group had a great time on the tour with Jens, who was passionate about Kolsch and the city with loads of great stories and info about each location and the general history of the drink. We went on the tour on our first evening in the city and it not only helped get our bearings but also with the general etiquette around drinking Kolsch - which explained why we were tipsy after lunch! Jens helped bring everyone on the tour together for a fun experience - would definitely recommend whether you are a solo traveler or part of a larger group. Prost!

Had great advance contact with Zoe and the brewery tour with Max was perfect. Thank you very much, unreserved recommendation!

Ron Van C.

10:49 18 Sep 23

The english tour was very touristic, with much information that you can find on the internet also and not that much about the breweries and their beers. But then again: it is all Kölsch so a bit 'langweilig'.
Just find yourself a Brauhaus to sit down and check the atmosphere and habits for yourself.

Randy P.

07:49 18 Sep 23

Max was an amazing tour guide ! :)

Andreas H.

06:04 17 Sep 23

The processing in advance was super uncomplicated with the Kölsch crew. Booking online, payment via PayPal, confirmation via email, even appointment reminders: everything is great! The tour with guide Hanna was very entertaining, relaxed and still informative. Hanna asked us again and again and responded directly to our wishes. Overall I can only recommend it.

Congratulations on the new website! The old one was better ;-)

Thomas Z.

Was alone in Cologne and joined a tour. This consisted essentially of two groups of people who had booked together. My fear that you would "not fit in" was unfounded, I had talked to everyone at the end of the evening and had a lot of fun. That was also due to guide Christian, who managed the tour with confidence and humor and involved everyone.

In the end I had a great evening with lots of information about the city, the beer and the breweries that have it. Would book again anytime.

We booked the Cologne Kölsch (brewery) tour through Get Your Guide and it was a fantastic experience! Our tour guide, Bernie, was a wealth of knowledge about the breweries and the history of Cologne in the places we went. He took us to 4 breweries, all of which were pretty close to each other (~5 minutes of walking to each) with stops along the way to talk about certain historical monuments, people, etc. Each brewery had different tasting Kölsch so you could try different recipes and each also had its own (sometimes VERY 🤣) unique atmosphere and flair. After the tour was over, Bernie walked us to a famous jazz bar, for those that wanted to go, with an incredible live band! Overall a top-notch experience - 100% would recommend! I did this one with a friend but plan on doing it again with my husband and any visitors we might have in the future.

Pierre R.

21:46 16 Aug 23

Was a very nice tour. Can you recommend. The Kölsch was delicious and the conversations good.

Michael C.

07:14 14 Aug 23

Had a fantastic afternoon - got a great welcome in each bar - met some fun people and drank some great beer. Mel knew her stuff and provided everything we needed to know with enthusiasm and pride. Much respect to Cologne and it's beer. Mel is a great ambassador for your City. Highly recommended!!

Eva S.

My wife and I had an exceptional time with "The Kölsch Crew" brewery tour while in Cologne, and much of that credit goes to our guide, Hanna. From the moment we met, her warm and inviting demeanor made us feel like we were in for something special — and we were right. Hanna wasn't just a guide; she was an educator, a storyteller, and quickly became a friend. Her passion for Cologne and its breweries was infectious, and her depth of knowledge was simply unparalleled. But what truly stood out was how personable she was, effortlessly connecting with us, ensuring our tour was more than just sightseeing — it was an unforgettable experience.

Beyond sharing details about the breweries, she had a wealth of knowledge about Cologne's history that she seamlessly integrated into our tour. We especially appreciated the flexibility to trade one brewery stop for a "walking beer" — a unique way to enjoy the city's sights. It was evident Hanna had a great relationship with the brewery staff, making our stops feel personal and welcoming. The booking process was smooth and for the experience we got, the price was more than reasonable. I'd recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cologne, but more importantly, if you can, ask for Hanna — she'll make it unforgettable.

Roos J.

17:57 11 Aug 23

We had a great time with Alex as our guide. It was a interesting tour, easy to walk and nice beers. You learn a lot about the history of cologne and it’s beerhalls!

Dane M.

08:37 06 Aug 23

Christian was an awesome tour guide. He shared all about the beer in Cologne and how it connects with the culture of the people and the city. He was very personable, answered any questions we had, and created a great atmosphere for the evening. It was a great tour!

Sasha J.

09:37 29 Jul 23

Jade was incredible! She was fun, energetic, and knew so much about the history of the city and Kölsch beer. It was a great experience. Had a lot of fun, definitely recommend this tour before going to any Brauhaus on your own.

Manon van D.

07:49 14 Jul 23

This tour was really fun! We learned a lot about Köln/its history and the different Kölsch with some background about this beer as well. We had a lovely guide who was a really enthousiastic speaker and really got the group together!

Felix M.

15:00 09 Jul 23

Had two friends over from the US and a beer tour was a requested part of the Germany experience - we made the right choice.
Susa mixed history and information about cologne with great locations, stories and a interesting conversations. We were in a group tour with a wonderful couple from the UK and all of us sincerely enjoyed ourselves throughout the entire tour. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about cologne in a fun tour … with Kölsch 😉

Isabel P.

21:53 03 Jul 23

This tour was so much fun and informative. Alicia was a great guide and made our experience enjoyable. We saw different areas of the city that we likely would not have seen if it weren’t for the route of the tour. I recommend signing up for this tour!

Hugh S.

14:45 11 May 23

We had a great time with our tour guide Max. He was very informative and funny. The places chosen to visit were top notch - as was the beer! We learned it a lot but it was also a very relaxing and fun tour to do. A great way to spend a couple of hours in Cologne.

Hollie C.

17:24 10 May 23

Fabulous tour with a very generous and knowledgeable tour guide! We went as a couple not sure if it would be awkward but had the best time learning about Cologne, drinking great beer, and getting to know the other people on the tour. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Cologne :D

My friend and I, two middle aged women, joined a mixed group, some in their 20's, some a little older for the brewhouse tour. I think it's safe to say, this is a popular tour which means it attracts a good crowd. Not every brew house can accommodate a large'ish group (some can) but they make the best of it for us. We get served promptly outside, it's a very efficient setup and the guides are known or recognised in every brewhouse they stop at, it's great fun. You pay a couple of euro's for each drink you have (all Kolsch, tasting different in different bars).

This is the thing though. The guides. If you are lucky enough to get Felix, he is smashing! He is so knowledgeable and interesting. He appears interested in his subject matter, even though he must roll those lines out a couple of evenings a week. He is resourceful, diplomatic, helpful, considerate (has an eye on everyone, including drunken would be intruders) and very funny (dry humour)! The guide brought us together as a group, with his tales and 'funnies'. It turned out to be the most fun thing we did while in Cologne. I highly recommend this tour, thanks Felix. And actually, I highly recommend Cologne. I loved it...Have fun!

We had an absolutely delightful experience with Michael, our traveling buddies, and our new tour friends. Michael shared historical information as well as significant, relevant details about Cologne's culture. He was knowledgeable and fun in his presentation. We visited 4 fabulous sites and enjoyed plenty of kölsch. The laughter and love was obviously contagious as Russ, another guide, joined our group after the official tour was complete. Undeniably memorable.

What a wonderful way to spend an evening in Cologne! Michael took us on an outstanding tour of four venues to enjoy four different Kölsch. In addition to his top notch knowledge of the history of Cologne, and a few fun facts here and there, he shows you the ropes of ordering, drinking, and toasting in this special city. It was just two of us on the tour, so Michael was able to take a little more time at each venue than if it were a large group. This tour is well worth the price and Michael is a top notch tour guide! An absolute must for anyone visiting Cologne. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.
