Was a private walking tour of one of the Christmas markets in Berlin with a view of other Christmas lights and markets around the city. Was very cold but fortunately Cesar our guide kept us entertained with many stories of Berlin and of his experiences in the city. Mulled wine and entry to the markets was included!
Tour covers several Christmas markets with amply time at each. Commuting was easy too! Would definitely recommend this tour.
Thank you for your feedback! It’s great to hear you enjoyed exploring the Christmas markets and found commuting easy. Glad it was a festive and seamless experience—highly recommend indeed!
