Our Cologne brewery tour is perfect for anyone looking to experience Cologne, Kölsch beer, and the Old Town in a fun and relaxed way. It's particularly popular with groups of friends, travelers, birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, companies, team events, clubs, and solo adventurers. The tour is ideal for first-time visitors to Cologne, as well as for those who want to rediscover the city and its unique brewery culture.

The public brewery tour takes place daily and is ideal for individuals, couples, smaller groups, and spontaneous bookings. Three Kölsch are included, you don't need to worry about a thing, and you'll experience the tour together with other guests.

With the private brewery tour, you have your own guide exclusively for your group and are flexible regarding the time, starting point, ending point, and, if desired, also the route and the brewhouses.

Our brewery tour usually starts at Cologne Cathedral and lasts approximately two hours. During this time, you'll visit three to four brewhouses, sample various Kölsch brands, and get to know Cologne's brewery culture in a relaxed and entertaining way. Our guides will also share exciting, historical, and humorous stories from Cologne. Along the way, you'll also discover the highlights of the Old Town, such as Cologne Cathedral, Alter Markt, Tünnes and Schäl, Groß St. Martin, and Heumarkt.

‍

Our public brewery tours include everything you need for a relaxed Kölsch experience in Cologne's Old Town: a local guide and three Kölsch per person. You can order additional drinks at any time during the tour.

For private brewery tours, drinks are not included as standard; however, we design the tour to be particularly flexible and, upon request, are happy to arrange individual drink packages for your group.

Cologne's Old Town is home to nine traditional brewhouses, and you'll typically visit three to four of them on the tour. Which ones are visited can vary depending on the guide, daily schedule, and group dynamics. Well-known brewhouses include Früh, Sion, Gaffel, Peters, Pfaffen, Mühlen, Gilden, and Sünner. If you have a particular brewhouse you'd especially like to see, please let us know in advance or at the latest at the start of the tour.

The brewery tour lasts approximately two hours. Since the brewhouses in Cologne's Old Town are close to each other and there are several stops along the way, the walking distance is manageable. The Old Town can be crossed on foot in about 15 minutes, and our guides are happy to adjust the pace of the tour to your group.
