An interesting tour where your motivated guide Mirko (or something else starting with "M") informed us about Kölsch breweries, cathedral, Carnival and the Brauhaus type restaurants. We visited three restaurants and while drinking, Mirko told us about the background of the brewery who made the beer right before us.

The guide showed us around the city and took us to three breweries that served Kölsch, but it was also very busy that weekend, and some breweries were already full. The tour guide also told us stories about the city, and told us about the history of kölsch.

It was a very fun mixed group that day from completely different areas. The guide Felix was very good. Informative, friendly, fun and well organized and connected. It was really fun.

The time flew by. We were a group of 20 people and about half continued to sit together afterwards. It had been really nice.

Pina was great! The tour was well organized and the guide shared many interesting facts. Gladly again!
