Our flight into Berlin was diverted and the company very kindly changed our tour time to accommodate us which we really appreciated. It was our guide Felix’s first solo tour and he did fantastic and was very knowledgeable. Thanks again”

Spend about three hours walking through Friedrichshain with guides such as Alex, Chris, Mike, or Rafael. Visit three beer venues, taste up to nine local brews, share vegetarian or vegan snacks, and learn how East Berlin shaped Berlin’s beer and street culture.

“This was a great tour! It is a good introduction to Berlin and craft beer and, in case you're worried, you definitely don't have to be an aficionado of craft beer. Chris, our guide for the evening, was hugely knowledgeable, poetic even, and imparted his knowledge in an interesting and clear manner with the all important samples to illustrate the points! The tour is well planned and paced, we visited three breweries, but never felt rushed and there is plenty of time for chatting and munching on the very nice snacks!”
