We had a wonderful Berlin tour today with our guide Daniel and our very skillful driver. Daniel gave us one of the best experiences of our trip — he was professional, responsible, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about Berlin’s history.
What made the tour extra special was how he brought along his own binders/books filled with articles and old photos of Berlin, then showed them to us right at each historical site. It helped us truly understand how things looked and felt in the old days. Our driver was also excellent — very skillful, careful, and smooth throughout the day. We felt safe and comfortable the whole time. Thank you both for giving us such a meaningful and memorable experience in Berlin!

Our tour guide Tobi was excellent. He knows Berlin history at the back of his hand. He interacts very well and great personality. He knows the ins and outs of Berlin.
Caron_A, Oct 2025
Comfortable clean bus. On time. Our guide Ryan was kind courteous helpful and knowledgeable. He did a great job of tying everything together. A lot of history. Outstanding tour!!!
Daisy_B, Oct 2025
Tour was awesome, guide was spectacular and extremely knowledgeable. But the bus had no wi-fi or ability to charge phones. It was an 12 hour tour so I had no phone for most of the day…. :(
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Daisy,
Thank you so much for your kind words — we’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and that your guide made the day special!
Regarding the Wi-Fi, please note that our buses do not include Wi-Fi or charging ports, as this is not a standard feature on most vehicles in Europe. We always recommend that guests bring a fully charged phone or a power bank for long tours like this one.
We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again on another Vexperio experience!
Warm regards,

Our guide Philippa and driver Markus made this a fantastic excursion. So knowledgeable. Being a British speaking guide was so helpful. Her history education made all the difference in the world. Markus sharing his story for escaping East Germany really put this area in perspective. The 2 of them made sich a wonderful team. We definitely will recommend them to all of our traveling friends.
Dan_C, Sept 2025
Jonathan was our tour guide and was wonderful, he did a great job with managing approx 30 of us through the streets of Berlin. He was very informative and had extensive knowledge on the history of Berlin. The city was extremely crowded and noisy with tourists and traffic so at times it was difficult to hear Jonathan. Dont know if this is an option, but suggest starting the tour where it ended and finish where we started as it might be less crowded along the way. Either way, we highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Dear Dan,
Thank you so much for your kind words and for recommending our Berlin Shore Excursion! We’re thrilled to hear that Jonathan made your day special — he’s truly passionate about sharing Berlin’s rich history.
This time of year is indeed amazing to experience Berlin in all its beauty. Soon, the Festival of Lights will also begin, attracting visitors from all around the world and adding even more vibrancy to the city.
We also appreciate your thoughtful suggestions regarding the route — feedback like yours helps us continue improving the experience for future guests.
Warm regards,

We enjoyed this tour of Berlin. There is so much history in the city and Jonathan did a great job explaining so much to us. He is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour. While we covered a lot, there is obviously value in travelling again to Berlin to see things more in-depth. In particular, at the end of the tour our time was a bit rushed at the Berlin wall as they were very focused on making sure we made it back to our ship on time. Would have liked to have spent more time there, but do appreciate their attention to making sure we didn't miss our cruise ship. Overall highly recommend this tour to get an overview of Berlin in the time allowed.
Donna_O, Sept 2025
We had a really great time. Our guide, Ryan, was superb in his knowledge. Berlin is beautiful and he made it so much better. Highly recommend.
Thomas_D, Sept 2025
This was probably my favorite tour of the trip. We were a bit apprehensive about the long ride from Warnemünde, but it was WELL worth it. We got to see so many things. Guide Anne was a treasure, so full of information and so funny! The bus was clean and comfortable. Would not hesitate to recommend this your tour others.
Anya_P, Sept 2025
It is a long drive to Berlin. Our guide Anne explained the history of Germany on our way there. She gave a great tour with loads of information about all our stops. Highly recommend this tour.
Suzie_E, Jul 2025
A fantastic tour of the WWII history of Berlin and Germany. Our tour guide, Daniel was very knowledgeable of the detail of this history. He hails from Ireland, so it was a pleasure listening to him throughout the tour. He provided a great overview of things we drove past on our 3 hour drive from Rostock to Berlin and back. And he brought binders of newspaper articles and historic pictures to share with us along our ride and on the walking tours through the main attractions / memorials of the war years. It was a great educational experience that gave us a much better appreciation of Berlin and Germany during the war years and today. This was one of the best tour experiences I've ever had and I definitely recommend it.
Robert_F, Jul 2025
Long bus ride, but worth it. Tour guide very attentive and knowledgeable. Mant sights you would not experience trying to do it on your own.
Dave_M, Jul 2025
Our guide Daniel and driver Thomas were awesome! Take about knowledge….. wow. Although a bit of a drive ….. well worth it.
Ted_H, Jul 2025
Three hour bus ride. Our tour guide, Campbell, was very personable, knowledgeable, and enjoyable. Wish we could have seen more, for going so far, not sure if the weather played into that or not, it was raining/pouring. Lunch could have been a shorter time, (1.25 hr) so we could seen more of the city.
Lynda_C, Jul 2025
This was a very informative excursion. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Even the bus trip wasn't bad and the price was SO much better than the cruise ship and we saw probably more than they did
Helen_G, Jul 2025
Was very informative and everything worked out as planned. Ryan our tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional
James_L, Jul 2025
The communication was great. Received e-tickets after we booked (or could print them if you prefer a printed copy) and we received a text the day before our scheduled tour with what air conditioned bus we would be riding on to Berlin from the port. We could leave our things on the bus whenever we got off to walk to a historical site. Anne our tour guide told us some history of Germany and Berlin as we drove from the port to our first stop in Berlin. The bus does break for the bathroom and snacks on the way to and from Berlin. We ate lunch around 1:30 pm in a square that Anne recommended. Anne was very knowledgeable. We left the port at 8:30 am and returned at 8:05 pm with plenty of time before the ship left. I would recommend some euro currency for the bathrooms (1 euro at the first bathroom stop and some change at the bathroom stop on the way home) and lunch if you do not choose to sit at a restaurant to eat. For reference our lunch at the German restaurant was around $50 euro for 3 - .5 liter beers, a bowl of fries, 2 snack size schnitzels and tip. I would recommend this tour if you port at Warnemude.
Carla_K, Jul 2025
This was a fun, educational, and comprehensive tour for half the price that the cruise ship charged. The tour left promptly and returned with two-and-a-half hours to spare before our departure, leaving us a bit behind f time to explore Warnemünde. Our guide, Anna, was very helpful and knowledgeable. I feel we got to see a good representation of Berlin even though we didn’t have a lot of time in each place. But with a 3-hour drive in each direction you have to make the most of it. I would definitely recommend!
Karen_M, Jul 2025
Guide was very informative (Ann) and driver was very safe and professional. It was a rainy day but we still saw everything. My only disappointment was that we could have used more time at Checkpoint Charlie and the wall. We only had enough time to do one or the other. We could have removed the stop at museum square to allow more time at the later stop. My biggest worry was getting back to the ship on time. We made it back with 1.5hrs to spare! Overall great excursion.
steve_m, Jul 2025
very good guide explained everything thing about berlin would recommend this company for your tour would have liked to spend more time at wall and check point charlie
DORRIS_B, Jul 2025
Booking with Viator, it’s worth every penny. The professionalism from start to finish (one word) IMPRESSIVE. Campbell, my historian guide, is full of knowledge and was phenomenal. I really enjoyed using your service Viator; your bus driver was also incredible.
Latunia_R, Jul 2025
One of the best tours I've experienced. I decided to reserve a tour outside from my cruise line excursions. This tour was educational, engaging and fun. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We got back to the ship way before it departed which eased my nerves.
If you on the fence, please do not wait, go reserve this tour.
Kelly_T, Jul 2025
The tour was informative and perfect amount of time. The driver was no nonsense, amazing skills. Got us to rest area before other bases showed up so no lines for restrooms. Campbell was great, knowledgeable, friendly, and transparent with Germany history. Got back to ship with 1.5 hours to spare.
Tina_R, Jul 2025
Even though the bus ride was long the tour guide, Anna, gave us a lot of information and history about Germany and made the time go fast. Anna was very knowledgeable about berlin. The sites were great. We got back to the cruise ship by 8:30 p.m. plenty of time before the ship departure time.
Alyssa_C, Jul 2025
Nick was great. He’s no-nonsense. I loved it. This was easy and took the decision away from a big travel day. Matthias was a kind driver as well!
Jeannine_K, Jul 2025
Long day but an informative tour. Visited the highlights of Berlin. The tour guide insured that we had plenty of time to return to the ship.
Eric_E, Jul 2025
Excellent tour, very informative, well organized and hit all major areas we were interested in. We want to take our teen children next time.
William_B, Jul 2025
Our travel guide (Ann or Anna) was exceptional. A fountain of knowledge and pertinent information about Germany information.
William_W, Jul 2025
