REDISCOVER COLOGNE WITH FRIENDS

I wanted to show my out-of-town friends the real Cologne. The Cologne Brewery Tour was the perfect choice. Great stories, a fantastic atmosphere, and even as a local, I picked up something new.

Cologne's most authentic
Brewery Tour

Over ten years ago, we had a simple idea: we wanted to show Cologne the way we'd show it to our friends.

Since then, we've guided individual guests, groups of friends, international visitors, and companies through Cologne's Old Town and its breweries.

No pre-recorded tours. Instead, our guides have heart, their own stories, their own favorite spots, their own favorite Kölsch, and a genuine connection to their city.

OUR GUIDES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

Our tours are lively, personal, and always a little different. Between Kölsch and culture, our guides share their favorite spots, personal recommendations, and stories you won't find in any guidebook.

More than just a brewery tour.

How does a

Brewery Tour

work?

1. Meet directly at the Cathedral

The tour starts at the Kreuzblume at Cologne Cathedral, just a few steps from the main train station. The meeting point is central, easy to find, and hard to miss. There you'll meet your guide and get a brief overview of the tour's itinerary.

2. Two Hours of Kölsch & Culture

During the tour, you'll typically visit three to four traditional breweries like Früh am Dom, Sion, Gilden, or Päffgen. You'll sample different Kölsch beers, learn more about the brewing culture, and discover Cologne's unique characteristics. Expect exciting stories, humor, and local insider knowledge.

3. Old Town Highlights Included

Between brewery stops, you'll also discover the most important highlights of Cologne's Old Town. Depending on the route, you'll see places like Alter Markt, the Historic City Hall, Tünnes and Schäl, and other well-known corners of Cologne. This way, you combine enjoying Kölsch with genuine city history. 

4. End in the Heart of the Old Town

The tour concludes at Heumarkt, right in the heart of the Old Town. From there, you can continue exploring Cologne directly. Your guide will gladly offer personal recommendations, whether for the next brewery, a good restaurant, bars, or other tips for your stay.
