Very good value for the money compared to same excursion offered by cruise line. Guide Scott was very informative.
This is an excellent tour. The area we cover is vast. There is a lot of getting on and off the bus, so I think individuals in wheelchairs should be discouraged from participating. The guide Campbell was very nice and knowledgeable.
Our tour guide Ben was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately we did not get to see Hitlers bunker which was something that my husband wanted to see. We were lucky to be having lunch during a large rainstorm.a
Dear Bonnie, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day in Berlin and that Ben's knowledge made the tour informative and enjoyable. Regarding Hitler's Bunker, it is not included in the itinerary for this shared shore excursion. As this tour is designed for cruise passengers with limited time in port, we carefully select the sights that can be comfortably visited while ensuring a timely return to the ship. For guests who would like to visit specific locations or customize the itinerary based on their interests, we recommend booking one of our private tours, where the schedule can be tailored to your preferences. We're glad the timing of your lunch worked out well during the rainstorm, and we hope to welcome you on another tour in the future. Kind regards, Natalia Vexperio

Campbell was a fabulous guide in the city of Berlin. He was enthusiastic and full of interesting facts. As advertised, we were picked up at our ship in a luxury bus with the most comfortable seats for our three hour drive from the cruise port. Highly recommend this tour for cruisers.
Excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and explained in terms US could understand. We hit all the highlights.
Amazing guide Daniel and coach driver Dave Ensured we had a fabulous day in Berlin. We certainly were well informed at major points of interest, plenty of time for photos and a break for lunch. The travel to and from the cruise terminal was very comfortable and again lots of information about Germany and the sounding countryside was provided. Highly recommend to do this tour.
This was the perfect glimpse of Berlin. Our tour guide Ann was very knowledgeable and walked us through everything. We had enough time at each stop to take pictures, buy souvenirs, eat at a local spot (designated hour break), and use the restroom. I definitely recommend this tour to first time travelers to Berlin.
It was a great experience! Our tour guide took us to so many sites and was very detailed. We stopped for photos and the necessary breaks along the way. The drive time makes it a long day, but the convenience of having arranged transportation makes it worth it. I would recommend bringing snacks and a neck pillow for the drives.
