• Group: public tour with individual guests & small groups (max. 15 people)

How the tour works

1) Start at the Früh am Dom beer house

We start right in the heart of Cologne. You’ll learn the most important beer house rules (incl. Köbes training 😉) and get a direct introduction to Cologne’s culinary culture: Mett snack or Halver Hahn – plus a Kölsch/soft drink flat rate for approx. 45 minutes.

2) Continue through the Old Town – Beer House Culture & Stories

Afterward, we continue through one or two more beer houses. Along the way, you’ll get the mix our tours are known for: exciting background information, Cologne humor, history, and a genuine beer house feeling. This is where the special group dynamic emerges – strangers quickly become a group.

3) Highlight: Vaulted Cellar at Zims

A real “wow moment” of the tour: In the historic vaulted cellar, we delve even deeper into the city’s past – a perfect backdrop for powerful stories (and, of course, a great photo).

4) Finale at Haxenhaus – warm meal to conclude

To conclude, the culinary highlight awaits at Haxenhaus: the “Cologne delicacy” as a warm, hearty finale – exactly what goes well with Kölsch and beer house culture. For vegetarian guests, a vegetarian alternative is possible – please specify when booking.
