“We booked the Beer Bike Berlin Tour as part of a group trip and it was honestly one of the highlights of our time in the city! From the moment we hopped on, the energy was brilliant, music playing, drinks flowing, and the whole group getting into the spirit. Our guide/driver was great too: funny, laid-back and made sure we saw some fab bits of Berlin while keeping the vibes high. It’s definitely more about fun than sightseeing, but pedalling through the streets with friends, music and beer is such a unique way to experience the city. We had so many laughs and it set the tone for the rest…”

Old Town Private Brewhouse Tour

6.Old Town Private Brewhouse Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 21 reviews · from $21Best value

Meet your private guide at Heumarkt and spend about two hours visiting up to four Cologne brewhouses. Guides such as Maria, Michael, Hannah, and Boze have led past tours, but stops can change. Drinks are not included, so you buy Kölsch as you go.

“Hannah hat sich bei der Führung Mühe gegeben, jedoch wenig historischen / geschichtlichen Hintergrund über Köln gegeben. Waren etwas enttäuscht, da hier Preis/Leistung nicht im Verhältnis stehen. Diese Infos bekommt man auch, wenn man einen kurz Text über Köln liest. Daher nicht geeignet, um mehr über Köln und Co zu erfahren.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $361

Join Rich for a private, English-language beer hike from Nuremberg into Franconia. You’ll walk about 6 miles between five small breweries, visit Thuisbrunn’s castle ruin and Gräfenberg, try a first beer included in the price, and buy later drinks and food as you go.

“Rich is a legend. The Fünf-Seidla-Steig with Beerwanderers is an outstanding way to experience Germany outside of the main cities. Not only does Rich guide you as you hike from brewery to brewery through the beautiful Franconian countryside, he also takes time to inform you about the area, the trail, the food and most importantly the breweries and beer! Rich has been exploring Franconia for years and knows the public transportation system well, which comes in handy after a day of hiking, eating and sampling local beers. It put me at ease knowing that Rich was keeping my group on schedule to catch our train home. I highly recommend Beerwanderers…”

I found Sepp on trip advisor and he was able to secure us a great tent the opening weekend of Octoberfest - which was no small feat this year. The best way I can explain our experience is it was like attending Octoberfest with a best friend who lived in Munich.Sepp was not only a great guide but he fit in so well it was like he was part of our group . Seeing Munich and attending Octoberfest with Sepp really enhanced our experience.…”
