What to Expect
-In Bamberg, the meeting point will be in front of one of the town's breweries in the center of town. This will be determined depending on the day of the week and what you want to do. Starting time is flexible but I suggest at 10:00 to get in as much as possible.
-Tours go rain or shine and and we'll always have a pub to tuck into if the weather gets bad. Please wear comfortable weather appropriate walking shoes.
-Please bring enough cash for beer and food as some of the breweries do not accept credit or bank cards.
