“Sehr schöne Tour mit einem kompetenten Tourguide. Keine Frage blieb unbeantwortet. Man merkte ihm an, dass er für Bamberg und die Bierbrautradition brennt. Für die Tour sollte man einigermaßen fitt und gut zu Fuß sein, da es schon ziemlich bergauf ging und bei der Brauereibesichtigung etliche Treppenstufen zu meistern sind.”

Dresden: Guided Beer Tour of the Historic Old City

8.Guided Beer Tour of the Historic Old City

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 95 reviews · 4 hours · from $82

Review of Dresden’s four-hour beer tour, with old-city sights, Saxon food, Zwickel and Radeberger, guide tips, and honest value advice.

“Die Tour war interessant und mit Humor gestaltet. Die Zwischenstationen zum Bier trinken und essen waren an sich sehr schön und nett, um einen Eindruck zu bekommen, wo man vielleicht mal einkehren möchte. Etwas unglücklich war hier jedoch das Zeitmanagement. So musste man das Bier meist gefühlt "runterstürzen" und hatte teilweise nur wenige Minuten in den Locations, der Weg dahin musste auch sehr zügig bestritten werden. Ich denke es wäre sinnvoller, insbesondere wenn man nur 6 Teilnehmende hat, zu erzählen, während man gemütlich weiterläuft. So müsste man nicht so hetzen und hätte mehr Zeit in den Locations.”

“Alberto was a fantastic tour guide. We spent most of our time at the BrewsLi brewery where he went over the brewing process and some of the local history. We tried several different beers and talked about how and why each one was different. We got to handle some malts and hops and see the different levels the malts can be toasted to create different flavors in the beer. It was both educational and entertaining, even to the people in our party who were not big beer drinkers. Shout out to BrewsLi who were great hosts. In an area steeped in brewing tradition, they are making great strides to bring…”
