If you’re looking for an unusual way to experience Düsseldorf, this girls-only tour promises a lively blend of local beer tastings, party games, and playful anecdotes—no boring historical facts here. It’s designed for groups wanting to celebrate, relax, and laugh together, making it ideal for bachelorette parties, birthdays, or simply friends seeking a fun night.
Two things we love about this experience: First, the authentic focus on Düsseldorf’s party culture, especially the chance to sample Altbier, a dark beer unique to the region. Second, the interactive nature, with games and shots that encourage mingling and creating memories. However, one consideration is that this tour is strictly for women and involves walking on cobblestones in the rain, so dress accordingly and be prepared for some outdoor fun. This lively tour suits groups of friends who want a spirited, social evening and don’t mind a bit of a boisterous atmosphere.

A Unique Way to Experience Düsseldorf’s Old Town
This girls-only tour is designed to give participants an energetic, memorable taste of Düsseldorf’s vibrant nightlife and party scene. Unlike traditional sightseeing where you learn about architecture or history, this experience focuses on celebratory fun, local flavors, and group bonding. It’s a great way to flip the usual sightseeing script and dive into the city’s lively social culture.
Starting at Carlsplatz with a refreshing can of Hugo, the tour sets a chic, relaxed tone. Hugo is a popular German cocktail made with sparkling wine and herbs—a fitting way to kick off a fun night. From there, the guide takes you through Düsseldorf’s Old Town, renowned for its “longest bar in the world” nickname—a nickname earned because of the concentration of bars and pubs lining the streets.

The Itinerary: A Playful Tour of Düsseldorf’s Nightlife
The tour’s pace is lively but manageable. Expect to walk about 2 kilometers on cobblestone streets, so comfortable shoes are a must. The route is carefully curated to maximize fun: you’ll visit several bars, sample local Altbier, and participate in drinking games that keep energy high.
Exploring the Old Town
The Old Town, or Altstadt, is often called the heartbeat of Düsseldorf’s social scene. As you stroll through this historic yet lively district, your guide will share entertaining anecdotes about its reputation as “the longest bar in the world.” It’s not just a catchy phrase—this reflects how the concentration of bars and pubs creates a uniquely festive atmosphere.
Beer Tasting and Snacks
One of the tour highlights is tasting Altbier, a dark, smooth local brew served in every bar. We loved the way this beer embodies Düsseldorf’s beer culture—a perfect accompaniment to the party mood. The included snack of currywurst or fries gives you some sustenance amid the drinks and games, which is thoughtful given the alcohol consumption.

The tour’s interactive element is what sets it apart. Expect fun games like quizzes and Radschlag contests, which involve some friendly competition and lots of laughs. You’ll also enjoy at least five party shots, including pink shots and other themed drinks, which help loosen everyone up. The guide’s role is to keep the energy high, and from the reviews, we hear that many find their guides friendly and engaging, adding to the overall enjoyment.
Final Bar Stop
The tour culminates at a popular three-floor bar on Bolker Straße, famous for its party music and lively atmosphere. Here, you’ll have one last shot to toast your friends, take photos, and soak in the vibrant scene. Seating isn’t guaranteed, so be prepared for standing or mingling.
What’s Included & What’s Not
For $56 per person, you get a personal guide, one Altbier, a snack, minimum five party shots, and a drink of your choice (like Hugo). This package offers great value, considering the drinks, snacks, and entertainment packed into three hours.
However, hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so you’ll need to make your own way to the meeting point at Carlsplatz. The tour is rain or shine, so dress accordingly, especially as you’ll be walking on cobblestones outside. The tour is wheelchair accessible and suitable for private groups seeking a dynamic, female-focused night.
Authenticity and Atmosphere
From the reviews, we see that guides are friendly and knowledgeable, though some wish for a bit more context about Düsseldorf beyond the party scene. The overall vibe is lighthearted and lively, perfect if your group wants to let loose and enjoy each other’s company.
One reviewer mentioned, “Had a very nice lady as a guide… A little more input about Düsseldorf would have been desirable.” This hints that if you’re looking for an educational experience, this isn’t it. But if your aim is fun, drinks, and laughs, this tour hits the mark.
