Overview

What do you have to see in Cologne? The cathedral, of course! But the breweries are also an essential part of a trip to Cologne.

We'll take you on an exciting, informative and fun journey through the breweries in Cologne's old town. Experience the typical atmosphere and enjoy the delicious Cologne beer: Kölsch! What does it have in common with champagne and what makes it so particularly digestible? You'll find out all this and lots of insider tips on a tour with Cologne Guide! We're really looking forward to seeing you!

The Amazing Chris

Published on Feb, 2025

What an absolute tour we had with Chris. His knowledge and sense of humour is fantastic. We didn’t want the 2hr tour to end. The tour being in English did help a lot. I highly recommend Chris for the tour. You’ll be in great company and appreciate the Kőlsh a lot more.

Enjoyable brauhaus Sunday evening

Published on Jan, 2025

Chris was an excellent guide who really knew his stuff! We went to four different brauhaus and each had a different history. It was important to understand the “rules” of a Cologne brauhaus before enjoying the local brew. Chris was an excellent host and made me feel very welcome.

Amazing!

Published on Dec, 2024

Our tour guide Chris was amazing. Chris had so much knowledge to share about Kölsch beer, and German beer house etiquette. We visited 4 local beer houses, all with in walking distance. My wife and I took this tour on our arrival day to Cologne, this was a great way to orient ourselves in the city, Chris also offered a lot of suggestions for our visit.

Great to go in the evenings

Published on Dec, 2024

My sisters and I booked this tour during the Christmas Markets this winter. Chris was exceptional. Fantastic storyteller and he’s able to get you past the queues at some of the most popular and best breweries. Chris was very LGBT friendly!

Fantastic tour

Published on Dec, 2024

We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Köln. Chris is friendly, welcoming and very informative about the city - and teaches you all about the fascinating beer culture. He really looked after us and gave us a lot more confidence about how to behave correctly in a Brauhaus!
