5 stars rating on Google for Cologne Guide brewery tours

Tamara Amalia

"What a wonderful evening on the brewery tour! Christian and Elisabeth organized the evening brilliantly. There were about 8 of us and we visited 4 breweries. At each stop, there were not only exciting stories about the brewery, but also about beer culture in general and Cologne's history - and of course there was Kölsch (or several) to try.

Christian (former waiter) knew the people in every brewery, which made the whole tour more personal. You felt welcome in every brewery.

The brewery tour is not only suitable for visitors who are visiting Cologne for the first time, but also for someone like me who has lived in Cologne for 18 years. I learned a lot of new things, drank a lot of Kölsch and laughed a lot! It was the perfect mix of an informative tour, beer tasting and beer hopping with friends.

I can highly recommend the brewery tour – with friends or as a team building activity with colleagues!"

Patricia Fruehe

"An entertaining and very funny brewery tour. Not only tourists, but also Cologne residents can learn something. Christian was a great guide. Highly recommended."

Roland Von Stockhausen

"A clear recommendation from me: Even as a Cologne native, I was able to learn a lot about my hometown and its brewery culture from Chris (who used to be a Köbes himself). Super informative and in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere.

Thank you for the great evening!"

It wasn't my first tour of this kind, but it was by far the best.

"Yesterday's brewery tour in Cologne was conducted by Christian Schüler in a charming manner and with a lot of knowledge about the breweries and Cologne's city history. It was not a run-of-the-mill program, he also answered questions and didn't let himself get upset. As an organizer, punctuality and accessibility were very important to me in advance, it was all wonderful."

"We had the best tour guide in the world! Chris had such a great sense of humor and wasn't at all annoyed by our chatting. We laughed a lot together and learned just as many interesting things about the delicious Kölsch. We'd be happy to go with Chris again any time!!
Christian (former waiter) knew the people in every brewery, which made the whole tour more personal. You felt welcome in every brewery.

The brewery tour is not only suitable for visitors who are visiting Cologne for the first time, but also for someone like me who has lived in Cologne for 18 years.

"Thank you Christian for a wonderful tour! 100% what we had hoped for - straight 10 out of 10 points. Visited 4 breweries and Christian got us a nice historical background to them and the history of Cologne. His impressive English skills made it easy to follow and we had a wonderful time of laughing while enjoying our Kölsch. Could do that every weekend 😁"

"Die Tour mit Chris war sehr unterhaltsam, es war eine kurzweilige Führung durch mehrere Brauhäuser Kölns. Wir haben einiges über die Geschichte erfahren. Ein großartiges Erlebnis, wir würden es definitiv noch mal buchen! :-)"

Stacey

"Absolutely fantastic time had by all. Our guide Chris was very knowledgable and very funny which made the experience worthwhile. And the Kolsch! This was so good and so easy to drink! All of the Brewhouses on the tour (lost count) were so welcoming and kept the drinks flowing as long as we wanted them. Would highly recommend!"

Sabine

"Die Tour war richtig toll! Chris ist zuverlässig, gut organisiert und mit Leidenschaft dabei. Er hat als ehemaliger Köbes viel Hintergrund- und Fachwissen, beantwortet alles Fragen mit viel Geduld und sehr ausführlich und nimmt sich mehr als ausreichend Zeit für die Tour. Auch wir als Kölnerinnen haben noch viel über die Geschichte und Traditionen von Köln gelernt. Wir werden die Tour auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!"

Stephan

"Wow! Einfach nur Wow! Eine so tolle Tour hatte ich nicht erwartet. Es war ein absolutes Top Erlebnis, welches meinen Urlaub in guter Erinnerung lässt.

"Chris was such a fun and informative host! He took us on a funny and historical trip through the ages of the brewhouse and evolution of Kolsch in Cologne. He is very passionate about his lively little city and we enjoyed every minute of our journey through the city's quirky Bauhaus's. Would definitely recommend this really brilliant tour to anyone visiting Cologne! Thank you Chris!"

"4 of us did this tour. Chris our tour guide was engaging, knowledgeable and fun. Visited 4
brew houses sampling the local kolsch and learned about the history behind Cologne's
beer culture. Great trip! "Highly recommend."

annahR...

"Fantastic walking brewery tour visiting four pubs with our excellent guide, Chris. Not only did we learn a lot about the local beer of Cologne but historical facts told with humour. Paid for
our drinks at each venue which suited the lighter drinkers in our group. "A fun afternoon."

Agasty...

"Loved this tour. It’s fairly new and I wanted to give it a try and boy was I glad. The tour guide is a super fun guy and is an expert on all things beer. He walked me through the origins of Kolch beers, brew house rules and stories of families and brew houses hundreds of years old. We visited about 6 brew houses and tasted the best Kolch beers in the world. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting cologne solo , as a couple , with friends or as a fun team activity at work."

Kate_W

"I had such a great tour! I learned so much not only about kolsch but also about the city of
Cologne. I would recommend this tour to anyone traveling through this area. It's a great
way to learn the city."

Carl_L

"What a wonderful tour. Chris was a gracious host and knew all of the best places to go with amazing beer, and knew all of the people there as well. He has years of experience in "Kolsch" and a knowledge as to how it fits in to the history and culture of Cologne. Most memorable."

Robyn A.

"We had a wonderful time on the brewery tour in Cologne! Chris was a knowledgeable and helpful guide, with an insider's understanding of the local beers and breweries in the city. The tour is also a great way to get to know more about the city and its stories, while trying a range of great beers. We would definitely recommend this for anyone visiting Cologne :)"

"We had a fantastic time touring some of the best brewhouses in Cologne! Chris was an incredible guide with a great sense of humour and fantastic stories about the history of Cologne! Definitely the highlight of our trip"

arunper...

"Chris was very knowledgable about the beers and history of cologne, he could answer all of our questions. All the breweries are close to eachother so you don't need to walk very far.
Chris was also very friendly and fun, felt more like having a beer with a friend then a tour.

If u have a few hours over in Cologne I would definitely take this tour it's well worth the money"

Rachel...

"We had a wonderful few hours with our guide Chris visiting a number of Brewhouses tasting a range of Kolsch. Chris was a wonderful guide and knew everything there was to know about the city, brewing techniques and beer! We would recommend this to anyone who wants to see more of these wonderful cosy brewhouses whilst picking up lots of fun facts and cologne knowledge along the way. Thank you Chris for making this such a great evening!"

Will_L

"We had a great evening with Chris learning about the history and traditions of drinking Kolsch in Cologne. He has alot of knowledge to share having worked in the industry for a number of years.
Really great evening to start our trip to Cologne!"

rohanc...

"Truly a one of a kind tour - Chris was extremely knowledgeable and witty, mixing in gut busting jokes with interesting facts and stories about kolsch and its history. He personally knew the Köbes at each of the Brauhaus’ we went to, providing an insider experience into the intriguing world of Kolsch. He tailored the experience perfectly to our group, and the 2.5 hours flew by as if we were just exploring the city with an old friend who happened to know anything and everything about Kolsch and Cologne. Cannot recommend this tour enough - a must-do for anyone visiting Cologne, certified by locals and tourists alike."

Jeremy...

"Our group consisted of two couples, my wife and I and our friends. We arrived at the meeting spot about 15 minutes early and Chris was there waiting for us. No one else was on the tour as it turned out so we just started right away.

The four of us agreed that Chris was extremely knowledgeable and very humorous. We learned a lot about Kolsch beer and beer culture. The beer is soooo good here!

I mean this in the best possible way when I say it did not even feel like a tour, it was just having beers in beautiful beer houses with a brand new friend in Chris. We had an absolutely wonderful time and would highly recommend Chris's tour service to anyone.

Thank you for the highlight of our time in Cologne, Chris! Prost!"

Emisch

"Chris was amazing and it felt like having a fun night out with a friend. We kept Chris out far longer than he had to be. I admit when my husband booked the beer tour I thought we didn't need to do a beer tour. I won't say he was right, but YOU NEED TO DO THIS BEER TOUR! Do it on the first day and Chris will teach you all you need to know and then the rest of your trip the köbis will be pleasantly surprised that you know what you're doing. We loved our time with Chris. You will not be disappointed."
