The tour showcases the Gothic-style St Michael's Cathedral, the 120-year-old Protestant Church and the Bavarian-style Old Governors Mansion, with a lunch stop at a local food market.
After lunch, it’s time to learn about the Tsingtao Beer Brewery, which is the perfect place to sample one of the most popular and best-selling beers in the world.

5.00Will was an excellent tour guide, who listened to our particular interests and steered the tour and the conversation in those directions. His English is excellent, and his knowledge of Qingdao's Germany history was extensive. I would highly recommend taking this tour, and engaging Will as your tour guide.
