What a fun night! Walking through the city and stopping to taste the beer was very relaxing and enjoyable. Our guide Sandra was extremely knowledgeable and we had a wonderful time with her. This is a great way to start off or end a vacation in Zurich.
I can only recommend this tour I have never drunk so many different beers and learned a lot about beer
This tour was really worth it! Our guide, Corvin, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We got a great historical perspective of beer making with lots of cool technical info on how it's done. He walked us to three completely different pubs, all with a great vibe and tasty samples of a wide variety of beers. He was super personable and fun. If you have a free evening and the weather is good for walking around some, sign up for this!
Great tour if you enjoy beer and learning about it in different countries! We knew nothing about the Swiss beer scene but thought this would be a fun way to start our trip (as we took the tour the afternoon after we arrived on a flight that morning). Simona was our guide and it was just my husband and I on the tour. We went to three great places and tried really interesting beers, and we had an excellent time chatting with Simona about breweries in Switzerland and the differences and similarities in beer/drinking culture compared to the US. By the end of the tour it felt like we were just out drinking beers with a friend. We highly recommend this tour and would do it again next time we are in country!
A very good experience on this tour. Brilliant attention and explanations from our guide. Impeccable cordiality and professionalism on their part allowed us to know and enjoy more about the world of beer. Congratulations
Sandra was great! Very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable! Definitely learned so much on the tour while enjoying tasty beers! It ended up just being two of us on the tour so she was able to curate the tour towards our preferences while also giving up new things to taste!
The tour wasn’t all that well planned and the guide although knowledgeable about beer excessively talked and didn’t listen well
Thank you for your feedback, we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the tour did not fully meet your expectations. Our tours are designed as guided tasting experiences where we share in-depth knowledge about beer styles, brewing, and the Swiss craft beer scene. Many of our guests specifically book the tour because they’re looking for exactly that kind of insight. That said, the balance between explaining and interacting is very important to us, and we’re always working to adapt to each group’s dynamic. Regarding the planning: the route and reservations are normally carefully coordinated with our partner bars. On this particular afternoon there was a timing mix-up, which we addressed on the spot and resolved with the venues. We apologize again if this affected your experience. We take feedback seriously and will use it to continue improving. Our goal is always to create a relaxed, engaging, and well-organised experience for every guest. If you’d like to share more details directly with us, feel free to reach out anytime.
We went last night: we had a great guide, super enthusiastic about beer and extremely knowledgeable. Although we live in Zurich, we discovered new places and found out about very interesting beers, local and international.
Amazing beer tour in Zurich. We went to three locations with short walks in between. Learned a lot about beer. Good for beer lovers and those willing to try new beers. Sandra was very knowledgeable and friendly.
This local beer tour is awesome! It was great to see a few local bars and breweries that I otherwise would have never found. The tour guide was very professional and courteous. She knew a lot about the local brewery scene and was a great host. Highly recommend!!
