  • New Berlin Pub Crawl: Berlin has an eccentric nightlife, with a mix of alternative, grunge bars, and posh lounges. The New Berlin Pub Crawl gives you unlimited beer at the first bar, a shot with every drink after, and a chance to see just what makes Berlin’s nightlife one of the top and strangest in Europe.
  • Ultimate Party Pub Crawls: Our affiliate pub crawl in Amsterdam offers two different tours that highlight the Red Light Districts Bars and those near Leidseplein for those looking to pull themselves away from the coffe shops. Bus2alps receives a discount.
