We learnt so much and this is the best way to see Berlin. Highly recommend this tour, the lunch stop was great too. we hired bikes the next day at a discounted rate is really the only way to see Berlin. Don’t hesitate book this tour!”

A small-group craft beer tour in Berlin’s Friedrichshain with pizza, 6 to 9 tastings, and a guide who knows Berlin beer culture.
“We very much enjoyed the fellow participants on our tour:) Sadly, we did not have Mr. Cliff the rockstar beer tour guide:( Our guide was new, arrived late for the tour, and ended our tour early. She was very unorganized and did not seem to deliver the material about craft beer very well. She had us wait to taste the beer offerings until she was done speaking and then rushed us to finish the samples once allowed to consume them as we needed to move on to the next stop. Lastly, she placed a collection bin on the table for gratuities making the group feel uncomfortable and awkward. Disappointing:( Thank…”
A 3.5-hour Munich beer evening with a Paulaner brewery visit, Hofbräuhaus beer hall stop, two 0.5L pours, and easy city transit.
“Really fun and interesting experience! Is less of a brewery tour through Munich and more of a visit to 2 beer halls and more learning about the beer history in the country/city--but looking at it more that way, it was a good introduction/educational session on beer-making and history and a fun way to meet people and have a few drinks for a night!”
