FAQ
Who can join our Best Beers of Munich Walking Tour?
Is there an age limit for joining this tour?
Guests should note that the legal drinking age applying to beer in Germany is 16. While guests younger than sixteen can in principle join us on this tour, it’s not something that we would encourage. Any guest below the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legally responsible adult.
Are "Stag/Bucks Groups" welcome on the tour?
Unfortunately the answer is strictly no. Due to the strictness of the unwritten rules surrounding beerhall culture in Munich, bucks/stag groups are not welcome in many establishments and we cannot there for invite such groups on our tour. Guests arriving in costume or displaying any other outwardly obvious sign of being part of a bachelor or spinsters party will be uninvited from the tour without refund.
What happens if someone in our party arrives for the tour visibly under the influence of alcohol?
Our Six Best Beers of Munich Walking Tour is an activity centered on Munich culture and the civilised appreciation of excellent beer. Unfortunately guests arriving in a state where earlier beer consumption is obvious will be uninvited from the tour without refund.
Is the walking tour suitable for people with mobility issues?
