Explore Altstadt-Nord, Cologne on a Guided Brewhouse Walking Tour
Join our passionate crew for a tailored brewhouse walk through Cologne-starting in the heart of Altstadt-Nord-where you’ll visit four traditional brewhouses in the old town, taste several distinct Kölsch brands and hear entertaining stories about Kölsch, Cologne and the local mentality; our guides adapt every tour spontaneously to your group so you truly get Our Cologne - Your tour. You’ll sample different Kölsch at each stop, learn what makes this beer special, and enjoy an authentic, small-group experience in Altstadt-Nord’s lively streets. Tours are offered without included drinks because we pay the same price as everyone else in the brewhouses and including drinks would require added administrative costs; please bring enough cash (expect around €2.50 per beer).
