Tour guide was very informative and funny. He was able to converse fluently in English and went over and above. He gave recommendations for food which we really appreciated also.

Nice guide!

QUYEN_P, May 2024

Very nice guide, could handle english and German with no problem. Good knowledge of everything on the tour.

Bit of an issue with the...

Mel_B, Apr 2024

Bit of an issue with the numbers and got asked to move to a later slot, which was ok for us. Was quite a big group and the guide had to say everything twice in German and in English! We had fun though

Finest examples of Altbier

Joshua_P, Mar 2024

Outstanding selection of altbier producers. The 4 commercial examples cited by the Cicerone Training Program are included on this tour! Uerige (iconic), Schlüssel, Füchschen, and Shumacher (personal fave).

Not worth the money.

Katelyn_A, Dec 2023

This was an okay tour. Apparently all the brewhouses are closed on Monday, which they fail to tell you until you meet for the tour. If you attend on another day outside of Monday, I think you would get a much better experience. I feel compared to others I was more cheated in getting a lesser experience for the same price. If I had known, I wouldn't have booked it at all.

Outstanding Tour, Highly Recommend!

Jared_B, Oct 2023

Wonderful tour! Moritz was a fantastic guide who was both informative and fun. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who is looking to learn about the history of Altbier in Düsseldorf. It was a great way to try a variety of different Altbier to find a favorite. Definitely well worth the price.

Mark_S, Sep 2023

Great fun visiting different 4 different Albier breweries in the heart of Dusseldorf and tasting their produce.

Great tour in Dusseldorf

Brent_C, May 2023

Great tour. Would highly recommend. Tour guide was fun and knowledgeable. 5 different Altbier and pubs was a good night out.

Great tour of Düsseldorf ideal for a better understanding of the city too

Elizabeth_E, Mar 2023

Brilliant fun and very informative. We had a great night with Horst who looked after us. The tour covered some of the history of Düsseldorf too, which added to the experience. Great for families, friends, couples and groups.

If you like dark beer…

Ginny_W, Dec 2022

Andreas (“Andy”) was punctual and friendly. We had to wait a few minutes for the last guests to arrive, but then the tour went smoothly. We moved quickly from brewery to brewery sampling various dunkel (dark) beers. We learned about the brewing process (they use roasted barley) to achieve the dark beer look and taste). Overall, we enjoyed going to the various beer halls and even returned to one of them (Zum Schlüssel) the next day for a meal and more beer.

Great evening!

Emma_A, Jun 2022

Our guide was great! He gave us lots of great historical info in-between stops. He was knowledgeable and fun to be around! We loved the beers and the culture around it in this town. We would definitely do it again!

Interesting and fun, and beer drinking at the same time

Daniel_U, Jan 2022

The experience was great, the guide was really good. Friendly, telling all the stories and funny jokes about the area and their cultural particularity. Even thought it was raining the whole time we had a great time walking to each brewery and getting to know the Altbier culture

Wonderful flavors of Düsseldorf

paul, Dec 2021

The weather was frightful but our guide Kim was delightful. We learned about the different ‘house’ breweries and tasted beer from all of them. The breweries were all within easy walking distances from each other. We also learned about the history of Düsseldorf. If we had to do this tour again, I would recommend doing it at the beginning of our visit so that we could have a better knowledge of Düsseldorf for the remainder of our stay.

Fantastic

Michael_B, Nov 2021

Lisa was extremely knowledgeable with such an air of enthusiasm for all things Dusseldorf beer, history, history of beer Extremely welcoming and engaging... we appreciated the English very much! Would highly recommend Michael & Rosie

Thx for your feedback, I fwd. it to Liza

Best beer your ever

Ben_M, Sep 2021

What can I say this was one of the best drinking tours we have been to. Our guide Kristoph (apologies for the spelling) was amazing, he was soooo knowledgeable and introduced us to Getman drinking culture and etiquette which is a must if you’ve never been before. Due to corona we were the only English guests but he was very accommodating and we didn’t feel left out at all, intact we spoke to all the German guests who were lovely, one lady even bought us a German beer snack which we had at the last bar called Mettbrötchen (raw pork sandwich) I know it sounds vile but it was AMAZING!. Don’t miss out on this fantastic tour or you will regret it

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Hi Ben, thanks for your feedback and I'll forward it to Kris Cheers from Düsseldorf Eberhard

Good tour

Claire_A, Sep 2020

Friendly, informative tour guide. We both (myself and my son - 20) really enjoyed it and I thought it was worth the money.

Nice beers

kevin_m, Feb 2020

This is a really good tour to learn about the Düsseldorf beer culture and taste 5 great beers Are guide was extremely friendly and helpful ( I was on my own , with around another 10 who were together) The guide ( unfortunately I can’t remember her name ) Spoke to the group first in German , then to me in English Apart from the 5 beers , we were told about the history of the brewery’s we went to , how to order , and when are finished to place beer mat on top of glass!! It was just a pity , it was cold and raining during the tour If you like German beer and would like to learn about the Düsseldorf beer culture and history , then you will enjoy this tour

Fun tour with a great guide

samvandenplas, Oct 2019

You pass along all the small bars in Düsseldorf and get a view you won't get if you just went to the touristic scene. The tour was made by the fantastic guide we had, with great story's and good beer.

Response from Host, Nov 2019

Hiltrud_P, Mar 2024

Alex war super sympatisch . Hat alles gepasst. Informationen waren top. Es war auch eine schöne Gruppe.

Sehr toll

Denise_R, Nov 2021

Wir hatten unsere Altbier-Safari bei Kristoffer. Definitiv weiter zu empfehlen. Er hat alles super erklärt und das auch mit ein paar lustigen Anekdoten. Also, wenn ihr bucht dann versucht ihn zu bekommen mehr Spaß an dem Abend kann man nicht bekommen.
