“We were a group of 4 from US and had a super fun time on the pub crawl. From the start Dustin and Erin were down to earth and funny, I accidentally overbooked by one ticket and they called their boss right away to get it refunded and then went on to explain the pubs/clubs on the crawl. I’ve done crawls in Berlin, Budapest, Vienna and Dublin and this one in Cologne was the most fun I’ve been on. Music was good, drinks were cheap, the guides Dustin and Erin were invested in everyone having a good time, and everyone just naturally socialized moreso than on other crawls. Would highly…”
