We took this tour today with Lena and couldn't have asked for more. Lena was knowledgeable about the beer making process and the area. She was clear and a great communicator despite this being her second English lead tour. We really enjoyed experiencing the breweries with the group we went with and will definitely return to the places we went with Lena. We would 100% recommend the tour with Lena, the tour group is lucky to have her !

The guided tour was very worthwhile. The night watchman brought us closer to the history of Düsseldorf and there was something for everyone: for my husband, for me as a historian, for our 10-year-old boy. Highly recommended
