Thanks to him, we saw all the key landmarks, and at each location, Paul shared fascinating details and context that brought the city’s rich history to life.

“Awesome tour! Alex was a very attentive guide with a thorough knowledge of beer, how it’s made and its history, particularly within Germany.

The tour takes place on the east side of Berlin, a bit away from central Berlin, but was great to explore east side. If you have a taste for beer while in Berlin, definitely take this tour!”
