“the trip was good as they usually are with the hop on off busses , this trip was a bit short and there was only one bus working at this time of year so timing to get on and off was a bit of a issue ,”
Join a German- or English-speaking guide such as Asli, Miguel, Sean, or Luisa for a two-hour walk through Düsseldorf’s old breweries and beer halls. Visit three tasting stops, sample Altbier, hear odd local legends, and meet an international group. Breweries can change, so expect a lively look at the city’s beer culture rather than a fixed production tour.
“An awesome way to learn about beer in Düsseldorf! Our guide, Lina, was super friendly and knowledgeable, and the beers were delicious!”
Spend two hours walking Düsseldorf’s old town with an English- or German-speaking guide such as Chris, Angela, Dan, or Karen. Taste five Altbiers, visit five breweries, learn how the beer is made at Brauerei Kürzer, and finish with advice on local food and brewery dining.
“Fun way to see a bit of Dusseldorf. Our guide was so kind and knowledgeable! The beers were fun to try and it was nice to meet some folks—we even ran into people later in the evening, which was so fun!”
Follow a German-speaking night watchman through Düsseldorf’s Altstadt for 90 minutes, seeing St. Lambert’s Church, Burgplatz, and Schlossturm by lantern light. The route includes Stadtmuseum Düsseldorf. Recent guides have kept even tiny groups lively, but choose the private English option if you do not understand German.
Use your voucher at the Rhine Tower entrance and ride up to the viewing platform for wide views over Düsseldorf, the Rhine, Media Harbour, Königsallee, and the historic center. Visit by day or late at night, then stop at the tower’s cafe or snack bar for a drink and a view. Clear weather may reveal Cologne Cathedral.
“Great place to enjoy a quick bite to eat with friends surrounded by a beautiful view”
Walk Düsseldorf’s Old Town with an English or German-speaking guide, stopping at landmarks, breweries, historic squares, and the Rhine. You’ll hear local stories, learn a few words of Düsseldorf Platt, discover the city’s rivalry with Cologne, and finish with one Altbier in a traditional brewery.
“Britta ist einfach toll ☺️ so viel Wissen und so viel Charme wie diese Frau hat - einfach unglaublich ☺️”
Walk Düsseldorf’s Immermannstraße with a German-speaking guide and see the city’s Japanese bookshops, bakeries, manga stores, and food spots. You’ll taste four vegetarian-friendly Japanese samples, receive a special souvenir, and learn how this compact district blends daily life, cuisine, and tradition. Groups are limited to 10.
“Organisatorisch verlief die Tour planmäßig, und Patrizia war freundlich, doch der Informationsgehalt reichte nicht aus, um einen fundierten Einblick in die japanische Kultur Düsseldorfs zu vermitteln. Viele wichtige Details wurden ausgelassen oder unzutreffend dargestellt, wodurch die Tour leider enttäuschend wirkte. Es gab zudem falsche Aussagen. Ich selbst war bereits im Nagya essen und kann bestätigen, dass die Behauptung, man zahle dort 700 € pro Person, nicht stimmt. Themen wie japanische Friseure, Schneidereien und Wäschereien wurden oder gar nicht behandelt. Beim Matcha Café Wakaba, dem ersten reinen Matcha-Café der Stadt (gegründet ca. 2017/2018), fehlten Hintergrundinformationen. St...”
Walk Düsseldorf’s Altstadt with an English- or German-speaking guide and hear the stories behind St. Lambertus, Jan Wellem, Heinrich Heine, and Tailor Wibbel. Visit the Maritime Museum at Schlossturm, then reach the Rhine Promenade for views of Oberkassel. Choose a shared or private tour lasting 1.5 to 2 hours.
Spend two hours walking Düsseldorf’s former warehouse district with a German or English-speaking guide. See the Gehry buildings, Landtag, and Rhine Tower, then visit the City Museum. The private group option suits families and friends who want a closer look at how MedienHafen changed from working harbor to architectural showcase.
Spend two hours on the Rhine as Düsseldorf’s Old Town, riverfront, ruins, and modern buildings shift into evening light. A live DJ supplies chilled music, while the onboard bar sells beer, cocktails, and snacks. The large, wheelchair-accessible KD ship offers indoor and outdoor seating, though dark windows can reflect city lights.
“Vielleicht lag es am Donnerstag, den wir gebucht hatten + am schlechten Wetter, aber es war leider absolut lahm. Keinerlei Stimmung, niemand getanzt in- oder Outdoor alle saßen Spießig unter sich an ihren Tischen und haben gegessen und gesittet getrunken. Null Stimmung. Alles sehr sehr groß daher verläuft es sich auch sehr. Und wenn man indoor sitzt kann man sobald es dunkel ist nicht mehr wirklich rausgucken da sich alles von innen in den Scheiben spiegelt, man muss also raus. Aber das ist eben nur bei gutem Wetter möglich. Ich würde es nicht nochmal machen.”
Meet your English- or German-speaking guide at Rathausufer 20 for a two-hour Segway ride through Düsseldorf. After safety instruction and helmet fitting, follow the Rhine promenade to Burgplatz, Uerige brewery, Rhine Park, the Theodor Heuss Bridge, Rhine Tower, marina, and state parliament. An Altbier is included.
“super lustig und vor allem ein sehenswerter Ausflug mit vielen tollen Tips und Informationen! hat uns richtig gut gefallen!”
Meet at the German Opera or another assigned point, collect your wristband, and join a four-hour group night out. Guide ISO has earned special praise for a friendly approach.
