Tour description

More than 900 reviews on GuruWalk, 4500 on Google, and being in the top 5 on TripAdvisor back us up ;)

**Important: the tour does not include the cost of drinks and food consumed on the route**

To start your beer adventure in Cologne, we will meet departing from the Central Station, where your guide will be waiting with their green and white umbrella.

From there, we will delve on foot into the historic center, walking through alleys full of history and local life, while we discover together the true spirit of the Kölsch, the beer that has been a symbol of this city for centuries.

Throughout the walk, you will be able to:

  • Taste authentic Kölsch, served directly from the barrel in the iconic “Stange” glass.
  • Immerse yourself in centuries-old traditions, with explanations about the origin and the curious customs surrounding each sip, in breweries with decades, and even centuries of history, surrounded by an authentic and cozy atmosphere.
  • Enjoy the unique atmosphere of Cologne: with its medieval facades and lively squares.
  • Local stories and legends that connect the city with its beer legacy, revealing secrets about the brewing of this unique beer. 

 

This tour is not just a bar crawl: it is a journey through the memory and flavor of Cologne, where you will learn to appreciate the nuances of a light, fresh, and surprisingly complex beer.
Get ready to toast, share laughs, and discover why Kölsch is much more than a drink: it is part of the soul of the city!
