Taste Bavarian beer and food, tour Munich’s Oktoberfest Museum, and share dinner in a historic beer hall for $84.
“Sara was so much fun, the tour was informative and enjoyed the experience of a beer hall and beer garden.”
Tour the Estrella Galicia brewery museum in A Coruña, learn how beer is made, enjoy six tastings, and take home a Galician gift pack.
“Honestly it was a lot better than the tour I went on for anheuser busch in st louis a few years back. The tour was in spanish and that would make it difficult for non spanish speakers. However they're are plenty of signs in English, Spanish and Gallego.”
Explore Prague’s Beer Museum, taste three Czech beers, learn brewing history, and bottle a custom beer souvenir for $25.
“Good experience to do whilst in Prague if you can afford the time and money. You learn about beer making processes and how different types of beers have been created over the ages. You can pay a little extra to bottle your own beer to take away with you”
Review of Broome’s four-hour museum, brewery and crocodile park tour, with practical advice on value, timing, guides and who should book.
“Jane was friendly helpful and made the experience more fun! She was particularly good with the young boys on the tour. Fun afternoon for everyone. Croc feeding was informative as well.”
Explore Bruges Beer Experience with an interactive audio tour, Belgian brewing stories, city views, family activities, and optional tasting.
“tutto ottimo, soprattutto per la presenza di un'audioguida in italiano non così scontata in Belgio. Per il resto se nel reparto bar ci fosse una più ampia scelta di cibo sarebbe molto apprezzato da chi predilige bere a stomaco pieno”
Explore Plzeň’s Brewery Museum, medieval cellars, Gothic malt house, and Czech beer traditions, with a 0.3-liter Pilsner Urquell tasting.
“Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, kein großes Museum in der Gegend. Keller. Ein kostenloser Becher natürliches böhmisches Bier für Feinschmecker wie mich. Einen Besuch wert. Ich empfehle es. Ich habe es ohne einen Führer getan.”

Review of Sapporo’s seasonal tour covering the Hill of Buddha, beer museum, seafood market, shrine, chocolate park, and Jozankei Onsen.
