Description

With our passion for Cologne and its local beer specialty Kölsch, we want to take you on a journey to our favorite brewhouses in town. Become part of the Crew and try different Kölsch brands and learn why we love Kölsch so much! We spontaneously adapt every single tour to the group, so we can truly say: Our Cologne - Your tour! On our brewhouse tour in Cologne's old town, our guides will bring you to four traditional brewhouses. In each brewhouse you will have the possibilty to try a different Kölsch and our entertaining guide will tell you everything you need to know about Kölsch, Cologne and the local mentality. Why are the tours offered without included drinks? In all the brewhouses, we pay the same price as everyone else. Including drinks would cause us administrative costs, we'd have to add to the tour price. Please make sure, you have enough cash with you. Expect around €2.50 per beer.

Marina is the best!

It ended up being just our group of 6 with our guide Marina. It was a crowded Saturday afternoon in town, but Marina got us right in each location and made us feel like VIP’s. Great history information, great beer, great time. Highly recommend Marina!

Proust!

Our group of four met our guide Marina at the designated spot at 3:30PM on a Friday afternoon in April, along with a spirited bachelor party group of eight from Northern England. Let the fun begin. Our tour took us through the Old Town visiting four traditional and historically interesting beer houses. Marina deftly managed to get us into each of these venues in spite of the growing number of guests celebrating the first signs of Spring; it was a beautiful day! Her depth and breadth of knowledge about Cologne and Kolsch was exceptional. She truly has a passion for her adopted city, as well as Kolsch. She nimbly kept our two groups together and on task as we wandered from one to the next in a very intentional, relaxed manner. The time ran a little longer than posted (not a bad thing!) but our group was never rushed and everyone was allowed to enjoy the tour time at each beer house. Would highly recommend this tour for a quick immersion in Kolsch culture, but perhaps would have liked to partake in the gastronomic experience if we had more time in Cologne.

Fantastic experience

We had a great time with Martin, a funny guy, great story teller, a true local that knows everything about Koln and kolsch beer. We did the 18h30 tour, that was supposed to end at 21h00, but ended at 23h00. I strongly advise that you eat before going to the tour. I definitly recommend the kolsch crew brauhaustour and i would do it again for sure.

Don’t Mess with the Köbes

Michael is an incredible guide — incredibly knowledgeable, intuitive, and adaptable — who will weave local histories into every part of your tour. You will enjoy him and everything he guides you to in Cologne Altstadt. Enjoy!
