Christmas Trips · DRINKING TOURS
December has more evenings than a trip has room for. These 15 festive drinks tours justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
You’ll spend three hours aboard the Pacific cruise ship, leaving Doca da Marinha for music, drinks, city views, and midnight fireworks near Praça do Comércio. A live DJ plays all-night hits, while the open bar serves beer, wine, spirits, sparkling wine, and sangria. Hosts speak Portuguese, English, and French.
Start at Brauerei zur Malzmühle with an introduction to Cologne’s Kölsch culture, then visit Heinzels Wintermärchen, the Cathedral market, and Cologne’s main Christmas market. Guides such as Bernie, Kim, Chris, Heike, Michael, and Marina add local stories, while drinks and snacks are purchased separately.
“It was helpful having a guide, but all drinks are at your own expense. After visiting 1 pub and 3 Christmas Markets, plan on spending an additional $50 for drinks.”
Join an English-speaking guide for a six-hour New Year’s Eve crawl through Prague. You’ll visit Chapeau Rouge, Fu Club & Lounge, and ONYX Music Club, then skip the line into Karlovy Lazne. Guides including Darragh, Talel, Kailash, and Mosquito have been praised for their energy and help.
“Great experience. I love Pub Crawl and the guides, especially Tal. When i needed help, he was helping me. When i asked something, he always had answer. I apreciate his patience. To work with drunk people isnt easy.”
Board at Doca de Alcântara at 11 p.m. for a two-hour New Year’s Eve cruise on the Tagus. You’ll pass Praça do Comércio, the 25 de Abril Bridge, and views toward São Jorge Castle, with beer, wine, sangria, and sparkling wine at midnight. Expect a scenic celebration, not necessarily a full dance party.
“One of the best things we have ever done on vacation! It is up there with Christmas Eve Mass at the Vatican. The city of Lisbon goes all out with their New Years celebration. The vantage point on the water is second to none. There were only 10 passsengers on the boat. Highly recommend it.”
Ride a covered pedal trolley through Columbus’s Short North Pole, downtown landmarks, the Scioto Mile, Bicentennial Park, and Columbus Commons. A sober captain drives, music plays, and blankets are supplied. Zack and Devin, known as D-Dawg, have both led especially well-liked rides.
“Our group had a great time on the holiday lights trolley! We enjoyed going around Columbus and D Dog our driver was wonderful!”
Start at 6:30 pm near St. Wojciech Church for two hours of unlimited vodka, rum, gin, whiskey, and beer, plus games, magic, karaoke, and photos. Guides including Chris, Cristian, and Cami help lead the group through three Krakow clubs before midnight at La Bodega del Ron.

Board at Blue Skipper Snacks & Drinks in Alcântara for a two-hour New Year’s Eve cruise along the Tagus. You’ll see Lisbon’s illuminated monuments, enjoy beer, white wine, and sangria, then toast midnight with sparkling wine and raisins near Commerce Square. Hosts speak four languages.
“Highlight of our trip. They took us to the perfect up close viewing of the fireworks which lasted a solid 10 minutes. The staff was very welcoming, ensuring we had a good time - plenty of beer and wine plus snacks. The catamaran had inside and outside areas, which we tried to huddle where it was warm due to unusually cold night. Meet up location was easy to find and well organized. Champagne and raisins distributed at midnight. Checked in at 10, boarded 10:30, disembarked at 11, and returned at 1am.”
Meet guides in yellow at Camões Square around 9:30 PM for shots, two Lisbon bars, fireworks at Miradouro de Santa Catarina, midnight champagne, one hour of unlimited beer and sangria, and VIP entry to a club. The five-hour party runs in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
“I didn't thought it will be amazing. But it was. It is great for individuals who want to learn other cultures, to interact with strangers:-) , to build connections, confidence or friendships and to collect memories which will last for a lifetime. Thank you all .”
You’ll start at the Discover Prague Tours office with one hour of unlimited beer, wine, vodka cocktails, and champagne. Party guides then lead you to one or two more venues before VIP skip-the-line entry at Karlovy Lázně, Prague’s five-floor club beside Charles Bridge.
Meet your English, French, Italian, Arabic, Korean, or Spanish-speaking guide at Bull's Brothers Pub. Visit two Paris bars for a welcome shot, drinking games, and drink deals, then skip the club line and dance into the new year in the Latin Quarter.

“The pub crawl was very fun and we had a great time! Sam and Andrei, the bar hosts had a good vibe and we would definetly recommend this place to other people!”
Meet at Praça Luís de Camões at 9:30 pm for welcome shots, beer, sangria, and a champagne midnight toast. Your guide leads the group to Miradouro de Santa Catarina for fireworks, then on to a club with VIP entry. Expect a late, lively night with no private transport.
“Det började en och halv timme försenad som är kritiskt på nyårsafton, sedan tog de med sig en flock på 50-60 personer till en mörk, smutsig, efterbliven lokal som säkert skulle rivas snart. De gav ut små plastkopp och säger "Supa!" Öl hälls upp av 2 personer såå långsamt. Alla köar till sin öl i 10-15 min. Efter nästan 30 minuters kö stod jag inte ut och gick iväg. Och det här på nyårsafton! Det var för sent att leta efter ett bord någon annanstans. Förstört kväll. Tycker detta är ett stort bedrägeri och i mitt land sådant skulle förbjudas med rätts åtgärder därefter. Det här är ovärdigt och skamligt…”
Spend three hours aboard a 40-person boat on Lisbon’s Tagus River, with a live DJ, Portuguese buffet, unlimited drinks, and a Moët & Chandon toast at midnight. You’ll pass Praça do Comércio, Ponte 25 de Abril, Cristo Rei, and Torre de Belém while staying warm and dry inside the glass-enclosed boat.
Meet your English or Spanish-speaking guides at the Highlander Pub for a Rome NYE night out. You get one hour of long drinks, beer, wine, pizza, games, two more pubs, shots, and skip-the-line entry plus a drink at a city-center club.
Start New Year’s Eve with Music City Pub Crawl guides such as Alex, Lexi, Samantha, or Linley, visiting five or six downtown Nashville bars from 2:30 to 5:30pm.

“This was my first pub crawl ever and I will definitely be back to do another one! It was such a fun time!!
