“Had the best time at the vagabund braureri. We arrived 15 minutes early and were given a welcome beer, they were waiting on two other groups. We ended up starting a little late due to one of the groups being slightly delayed but that was fine cause it meant more time for another beer which was complintary. It ended up being a group of English, Irish (us) and Scottish which I thought was funny, as the joke goes. Joe our guide was great! Super easy going and fun and great at explaining the 7 different processes into craft beer. He also introduced us to Josh one of the brewers! We…”

“We had an incredible food tour with Clara, our tour guide with Eating Europe. My husband and I were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary and thought this would add a great experience to our quick stop in Berlin. The food was fun, with several tastes of food and beer that Berlin is known for. Clara was very knowledgeable about the food and the areas of the city we visited. We met some new people in our group, shared some great food and beer, and had an amazing afternoon. I would heartily recommend.”
