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.
This was a fantastic tour. The guide met us at the port and all along the way into Berlin gave short talks to give historical and cultural context. It was a rainy day, but the guide and bus driver worked together to maximize opportunities to see things from the bus and off the bus as comfortably as possible. It was an orderly and enjoyable trip for our whole family. Highly recommend.
It's long, but worth it. The Berlin tour was good. Would have liked more free time and more stops to take photos, just 5 -10 minutes.
Berlin is full of memories. Our guide Ann was very knowledgeable and very patient with us. Excellent in the English language.
Ben Fisher was an outstanding guide and made this cruise-port excursion to Berlin both informative and enjoyable. His historical knowledge and engaging storytelling brought each landmark to life. The tour was very well organized from the moment we arrived at the port, and the local staff coordinating guests and transportation did an excellent job keeping everything running smoothly. Despite temperatures reaching around 30°C, the experience was comfortable, and having only about 30 guests on a large coach made for a relaxed and enjoyable day. Ben struck the perfect balance between providing historical context and allowing free time to explore, making this one of the best shore excursions we’ve taken and an excellent way to experience Berlin in a single day.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your day in Berlin and that Ben made the experience both meaningful and memorable. He will be thrilled to read your kind words. We’re also very happy that the organization from port to Berlin felt smooth and well‑coordinated for you. Our team puts a lot of care into making the day comfortable, even on hot summer days. Ben’s balance of storytelling and free time is exactly what we aim for on our shore excursions, and hearing that this was one of the best you’ve taken truly means a lot to us. Thank you for choosing to explore Berlin with us. We would love to welcome you again on a future cruise.
Glenn was our tour guide on this trip to Berlin. He brought a personal touch to the trip. He gave personal experiences and stores, along with showing historical pictures to compare to the modern spots we visited. We knew the tour would drive by many locations, rather than stopping, but he made sure to give full details and stories to connect the site to current and past highlights. The city is more modern now since the rebuild after WWII, but the tour brings to life the history of the German capitol. We would recommend this trip compared to the cruise trip that is twice the cost. With a family of 5, this was the best, and most comfortable, option for us. A big concern was making it back to the port in time. We have more than enough time to still walk into the port city of Warnemunde before getting back on the ship.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. Reading your words truly means a lot to us. This is exactly what we take pride in. We’re delighted to hear that Glenn made such a meaningful impression through his personal stories and historical photos. We are aware that time in port is limited for cruise guests, so it’s great to hear that you felt comfortable throughout the day and returned with plenty of time before ship's departure. Creating shore excursions that are both enriching and reliably timed is something we specialize in, and we’re happy this worked so well for your family. Thank you for choosing our tour. We would love to welcome you back to Berlin on one of your future cruises.
