Itinerary
Start with exploring the area’s layered past: a façade scarred by WWII bullets, an East Berlin church where Martin Luther King Jr. preached secretly, and a historic Jewish cemetery holding grave.
No Berlin food tour is complete without currywurst: juicy pork sausage topped with hot ketchup and curry powder. Here, the sausages come from a Brandenburg butcher and the sauce is mixed fresh daily.
Pause from busy central Berlin for a Berliner Weisse, a refreshing pale ale mixed with raspberry or woodruff syrup. Enjoy it at Café Cinema in Dead Chicken Alley, a tiny lane filled with vibrant street art and creative energy.
Once a vibrant Jewish cultural hub, Hackesche Höfe survived war, neglect, and division. Restored after reunification, its historic tiled courtyards now showcase Berlin’s art, craft, and creative spirit once again.
Over 400,000 Döner Kebabs are eaten every single day in Berlin. You get skip-the-line access to one of the city’s most popular spots to see why!
In the 1800s, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Prussia transformed Berlin’s Museum Island into a centre for art and science. Today its historic museums display treasures from ancient civilizations to classical and modern art.
End the tour beneath Hackescher Markt’s railway arches at Lemke Brewery, relaxing with house-brewed beer and crisp flammkuchen. Sample six tasting pours in the beer garden while discovering Berlin’s brewing traditions.

It was an intriguing tour of quirky eating and drinking spots in Berlin that we wouldn’t have found otherwise.
We had a wonderful time on this food tour with Clara. Really enjoyed the food and walk around the neighborhood. You can never go wrong with Eating Europe!
Anna was enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. She has a great sense of humor and she kept us laughing while we learned. Great experience.
Rodolfo gave the most in depth, warm and lovely tour. He kept us all engaged and interested while we learned, ate and drank and shared moments together. His knowledge was unsurpassed and the long term historical context and modern history was all explained thoroughly and efficiently. He is a master story teller and was so generous and kind with all of the people on our tour. Do not miss this opportunity. I was with my 17 year old son who loved every moment of the tour too even with some jet lag. Top experience in Berlin. So glad we booked this tour.
Canceled at the last minute! the tour operator cancelled the booking 24 hours before the date of the tour leaving me no time to find an alternate tour. i had booked two months in advance on Viator and paid in advance. this is extremely inappropriate. viator should not be promoting this tour..please publish my complaint regarding how irresponsible this tour operator has been with my reservation on your website.
Dear Girish, I would like to sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused to your travel plans. We had hoped to accommodate your booking but no one else ended up booking alongside you and we unfortunately had to cancel as we are unable to run a tour with only one guest (something we mention during the booking process). I'm sorry you weren't given more notice in order to rearrange your plans, we'll look into adjusting this on our side in future.
It was a cold afternoon in Berlin, but we met our knowledgeable and personable guide, Rodolfo, at a nice warm coffee shop and picked up Berliners to save for the end. I guess that others chose not to come out on a cold day, but they missed out, and my wife and I had a delightful personal tour. This is not just a food tour - it is a fascinating lesson about the food, culture and history of Berlin. We saw a cemetary split between Nazis and Jews. We saw walls pockmarked by bullet holes. We learned about the wall coming down and the sense of freedom that brings - and the lack of judgmental attitudes that exists through much of Berlin society. We even learned about Herta Heuwer's inspired invention and beer that comes red and green. Our guide, Rodolfo, is enthusiastic and energetic, and we spent lots of time laughing and learning. We tasted Doner Kebab (so good!) and some great local beers. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn a lot about Berlin and its food, while having a GREAT time.
Wonderful tour of Berlin! Clara was such a great tour guide. I learned so much while eating great food and trying good beer. I would highly recommend!
Thank you for your review and recommendation! I'm pleased you had a brilliant time!
We really enjoyed the food and beer tour. Our guide, Clara was excellent. Very knowledgeable and did the right amount of talking and walking. Food was great and the locations we visited were excellent.
Thank you, Susan, for this great review! I'm happy you enjoyed all of the spots and snacks on offer!
Our tour guide was excellent. Her name was Clara and she was knowledgeable, interesting, full of facts and did the right amount of talking and walking. I would really recommend the tour. The food, drinks and locations we visited were great. Hats off to Clara! Thanks so much and looking forward to using this company when we visit Rome next fall. Thanks.
Aw, thank you so much! I had a wonderful time showing you around and, if you're going to Rome, I highly recommend our 15th Anniversary Taste of Testaccio food tour! (And our Slice of Naples tour if you head south to explore Pompeii)!
In addition to great food, we also got a great history lesson. Clara was fabulous and very informative! Loved the tour and the food. I would highly recommend and ask for Clara!!
Thank you, Paula, I'm blushing! I had a fantastic tour with you and I hope to see you again on our East Berlin tour next time you're here!
