This tour was just super!!! We requested that our tour guide have a knowledge of World War II and the Cold War. Glen our tour guide was perfect! He exceeded all our expectations, and his knowledge was excellent. For myself, I learned a lot from Glen and I am very grateful! Again, this was a super tour and it is worth every penny and more!!!

Communication with the company was very easy. Our guide Cian, did an amazing job not only showing us around, but enhancing the stories as he is a student at the local university. Cian is fluent in English and German, which was extremely useful. Also, having a private vehicle was great! We would walk and meet the vehicle when needed. Cian took us to many spots and explained the history of them, recommended a delicious bier garden for lunch, and ended the tour at a convenient spot to meet the vehicle. Our drive was only 2.5 hours from port and we got to experience being on the Autobaun! This was by far the best excursion of our trip, best price, and best experience of the vacation!

The service was on time and met the expectations of the group. The only hiccup was that the driver that was sent for us only speaked German so the 3hr drive from Warnemunde to Berlin was “lost” as we could not either plan or start hearing some history on the way, once we got to Berlin and the guide met us, at that point the tour was great.

Totally worth the drive to see Berlin! We were met, as promised, by our driver Olaf, and taken to Berlin. Olaf was gracious answering all of our questions and had a great sense of humor! Heiko was extremely knowledgeable about Berlin and able to keep our 10 & 12 year old boys interested and engaged! You could tell Heiko was passionate about sharing good beautiful city with others! Thank you for memories that will last a lifetime!

We booked a private tour for the five of us. All day Tour picked up at the cruise dock in Warnemunde. Making the reservation was very simple and responsive to my e mail requests. I really appreciated them accepting PayPal for the deposit. We started at 9am. Our driver Juergen was waiting with a sign on time at the port easy to locate. His car was clean and plenty of room. We had requested to stop at Sachsenhausen to visit a concentration camp before going to Berlin and I highly recommend that as part of your day. We met our guide Alicia there. Alicia was fantastic. Her knowledge base was tremendous. She was kind, thorough, and detailed. We learned so much and to be right where it all happened was really moving. We stopped for lunch at a Biergarten recommended by Juergen and sat outside food and beer was great. We had an exceptional tour of Berlin and I can’t recommend it enough. The drive goes quickly albeit around 2.5 hours it’s totally worth it. Thank you John for arranging such an incredible day and making it easy for us. To our guide Alicia and Driver Juergen thank you for a very memorable day!

A long but excellent day in Berlin. I arranged this tour long before the cruise as I like to do own private tour not a ship excursion. Our family of 5, ages ranging from 15 to 82 all enjoyed this event. Our tour guide Nigel was very knowledgeable and most amusing.

<p>This tour was a highlight of our Viking Baltic cruise. We enjoyed a personalized tour of historic Berlin and prompt pickup and return to the cruise ship. I think we saw more than those who chose the ship's tour. Will definitely book through Viator again.</p>

<p>I had mentioned that I am in a wheelchair on the Viator website when signing up for the tour, and it never got mentioned to the guide. Even after seeing me in a wheelchair he brought us to a restaurant where the bathroom was down a flight of stairs. There should be more mention and importance of accessibility on the Viator website. The guide was energetic and charismatic, but spoke too much and did not listen to our needs. However, being provided the opportunity to visit Berlin when the port is so far away was a great experience. Fascinating city.</p>
