We didn’t know what to expect, so we just went for it and we’re pleasantly surprised! Besides just learning about the non touristy side of Bremen we learned a lot more about how places in Bremen came to be. Our guide was great, he was relaxed put a lot off effort into knowing about what we were looking at and answered every question. He kept the tour interesting. For those reading this, for your planning, there is a lot of walking and you don’t return to the place you started.

The guide was knowledgeable about the city and its history. The places visited were amazing and the guide was able to keep the the interest of the people taking the tour.

One of my best brewery tours to date. The tour was full of information that was given in such a fun manner. It kept my interested the whole time.

It was 30 of December, so tour in english was only with three people, si it was excellent :)

Kind and smart guide. Beautiful locations, even in the rain!
