Over 10 years of Düsseldorf stories with guests from all over the world

About us

We are locals from Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf is our home. For over 10 years, we have been showing people the city the way we love it ourselves: with authentic stories, traditional breweries, and that signature Rhenish zest for life.

Düsseldorfer Kompass

What started as a small idea among friends during university has grown into one of Düsseldorf’s most popular guided tours.

Since then, we have guided thousands of guests through Düsseldorf, served countless Altbiers, and discovered one thing: the best stories come from the Köbes in the brewery and from guests from all over the world who bring their own unique connection to Düsseldorf with them.

What drives us?

We love sharing our passion for Düsseldorf. Through authentic stories, honest recommendations, and the warm, Rhenish hospitality that makes this open and tolerant city so special.

FAQs

Who is the Brewery Tour in Düsseldorf suitable for?

Our Düsseldorf Brewery Tour is suitable for anyone who wants to experience the traditional Altbier, the Old Town and local stories in an entertaining and relaxed way.

The tour is popular with travellers, couples, groups of friends, birthday groups, bachelor and bachelorette parties, companies, team events, clubs and solo travellers. It is suitable both for first-time visitors and for people who would like to rediscover Düsseldorf and its beer culture.

What is the difference between a public and a private Brewery Tour?

The public Brewery Tour is ideal for solo travellers, couples, smaller groups and spontaneous bookings. Three glasses of Altbier are included, the route follows a set format and you join other guests.

The private Brewery Tour is exclusively for your group. You have your own guide and can arrange the time, meeting point and finishing point more flexibly. The route and drink arrangements can also be adapted on request.

How does a Brewery Tour work?

Our Brewery Tours normally start in the square in front of the Löwenhaus at Liefergasse 9 and last approximately two hours. During the tour, you visit several traditional brewhouses in Düsseldorf’s Old Town, taste different Altbiers and learn about the city’s brewing traditions and local culture. Some of the brewhouses operate their own brewery on site. Between stops, your guide shares historical stories, local humour and interesting facts about Düsseldorf.

Are you a local operator from Düsseldorf?

Yes, we are a local operator and, thanks to many tours, we are familiar with Düsseldorf's Old Town, its breweries, and the typical questions our guests have. This provides you with authentic insights and practical tips for your stay in Düsseldorf.
