Annie was a great guide. Our tour was impacted by the marathon but it was still worth going. Annie was very knowledgeable and recommend this tour highly.
We had a great tour with Anne. She had to work our tour around the Berlin Marathon and did a great job. We appreciated her knowledge of history that she shared with us.
It was a great day!
We were lucky enough to have a fabulous East German guide who really helped us understand the history and culture. It was a great tour!
Great experience. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Saw everything i wanted to see. Would have liked more time at the Berlin Wall/Checkpoint charlie. Would definitely recommend
Had a fabulous day with our guide Ann who was on the bus all the way and gave us lots of info about Germany. We saw all the sights on the itinerary. The bus was extremely comfortable and we had wifi all the way which was great to catch up. We are still on our way back but all has gone to plan and we should be there two hours before ship leaves. I would highly recommend this tour and Ann did an amazing job.
Excellent guide and tour. It was very easy to find the tour at the cruise terminal. Highly recommend.
Our guide was very knowledgeable. She was very easy to understand having no accent. The places of interest were explained well.
Campbell was an excellent guide. His knowledge and expertise made our tour enjoyable and interesting.
Tour guide Campbell was excellent. Full of knowledge and history!
Would definitely recommend this tour, especially if you get Campbell!!
Campbell was our tour guide and as a historian, he provided an in depth look at life in Berlin from the time of World War II, through the Cold War years, including the separation of East and West Berlin up until today. His knowledge really open our eyes to events that we, here in the United States have never had to experience, and hopefully never will! If you take this tour and are fortunate to have Campbell as your guide, you will have an amazing experience!
We had a wonderful experience on our Berlin tour. our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and very informative. we truly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend our guide Campbell.

Fairly long drive from port to Berlin, but along the way many interesting and pertinent facts shared by the guide Anna, who was very pleasant and informative all through the day. Saw many important sights and we were amazed at how much detail we could see in a day. Would definitely recommend.
Long trip in bus, but worth it. Our guide Daniel was so knowledgeable and friendly it made our day. Berlin was great!
Gives a wonderful overview of Berlin. It’s a long drive to Berlin, but our guide was on the bus with us and made them pass by so quickly. Daniel was so knowledgeable and really added to the experience.
Excellent tour and tour guide, thank you for a great tour. Lots of stories about Germany history and today's life in and around Berlin.
Although it was a gloomy rainy day, our tour guide Anna, kept the tour interesting with her vast knowledge of the area.
We got to see all the sites on our list.
Our guide spoke perfect English. He was very knowledgeable and communicated clearly and confidently, without using fillers like “um” or “ah,” which made the tour even more enjoyable.
Daniel was very knowledgeable and was a great guide. Enjoyed the tour quite a bit. Bus ride was long (as advertised), but comfortable.
It’s a busy day with not a lot of time at each spot but it’s a good, quick fly through of Berlin. Our guide had an encyclopedic of Berlin and Germany and she was happy to answer questions throughout the day. She was enthusiastic and her English was excellent.

Dear Kathleen,
Thank you so much for your kind review!
We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day in Berlin and that your guide's knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable.
As you mentioned, this tour is specially designed for cruise passengers who have limited time in port, so our goal is to showcase as many of Berlin's highlights as possible while keeping everything on schedule. We're glad you found it to be a great overview of the city.
We hope to welcome you on another adventure in the future!
Kind regards,

Seamless excursion to Berlin. Our tour guide Glen was amazing and full of knowledge. Had plenty of time at each stop along the way.
It's a long ride but a great way to visit Berlin for the first time from a cruise ship. Guides are very knowledgeable.
The bus ride to Berlin was great!!! We appreciated the air conditioning. Our driver was very nice!!! Our guide took good care with us while we were in Berlin. He was very knowledgeable I am a WWII buff and enjoyed hearing about history.
Guide was very knowledgeable. Share good information but maybe too much on buildings like current government buildings. We really enjoyed the history of government and history of government and facilities. But not the current stuff unless there’s a point to the history of Berlin. Otherwise very good tour. Wish we had more time to eat a lunch.
Berlin is a must-see, even if it's a long journey from the cruise port! So many incredible sights await. 🤩 #Berlin

Dear Tony,
Thank you for your wonderful feedback.
We are delighted to hear that you had a great experience on our All-in-One Berlin Shore Excursion and that you found Berlin to be a must-see destination. It is indeed a city full of incredible sights, history, and unforgettable places.
As you mentioned, Berlin is a longer journey from the Warnemünde/Rostock cruise port, with the transfer taking approximately 3 hours each way due to the distance. Unfortunately, this is something beyond our control, although we truly wish we could make the distance shorter for our guests.
We appreciate your understanding and are happy that you felt the journey was worthwhile. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you again in the future.
Warm regards,
Natalia

First time using non-cruise experience and husband was worried about getting back in time. Leave the doubts behind. Anne was our guide andthe bus met us directly outside cruise terminal. Gave everyone a bathroom break halfway to Berlin. Previous reviews gave mixed experiences about bus ride but Anne gave useful and revelant commentary during the ride. Once in the city we were able to see everything listed and much more!! Again our guide was like a walking encyclopedia for Berlin. Was able to get great photos and enough time for lunch around Monument of Murdered Jews. We were back two hours early and could have spent more time looking at points of interest. However, totally understand them ensuring everyone making it back to the ship. I would definitely recommend this tour.
It was very well organized with respect to logistics and actual site visits. We were doing the excursion while on a cruise with the Carnival Legend. We were able to go to all the stops and have travel and break times within the time allowed. Our guide was well- prepared with knowledge at the sites and additional pictures and informational booklets while we traveled.
Took this tour from our Princess cruise ship independently. We were slightly anxious about the travel and needing to return to the ship on time- we needn’t have worried! We were met directly from the ship and our outstanding guide was already with us. A really nice coach was provided and we set off very quickly. The guide gave us an amazing commentary as we headed for Berlin and we were given a good comfort stop on the way. We soon reached Berlin and for the next few hours we were taken to the main tourist spots with great information and with easy walking. We had 45 minutes for lunch and then we continued into the amazing east side with the UNESCO heritage sites. After visiting Checkpoint Charlie we headed back to the ship, again with a comfort break. The guide was truly wonderful full of great information but also knowing when we needed some quiet! We arrived back at the ship with over 2 hours to spare but not really feeling having been rushed. Others who used the train/s were definitely not so well off. Fully recommend this trip and if you are anxious about missing the ship don’t be they guaranteed to get you back.

Dear Andrew, thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! It means a lot to hear how reassured you felt from the very start. This is exactly the kind of experience we want our cruise guests to have. We’re delighted that the commentary on the way to Berlin, the comfort stops, and the balance between sightseeing and quiet moments made the long day feel smooth and enjoyable.
We’re especially happy you arrived back at the ship with plenty of time to spare — this is something we take great pride in for all our shore excursions.
Thank you for recommending us so warmly. We hope to welcome you back in Europe one day!
Great way to see the city with limited time. Great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about subject matter.
It was a good tour. The guide was funny but didn’t give us a lot of information except for his life. We saw his home, where his theater was, where his daughter was, etc. Wish we had more information on the sites. He did show us a good restaurant that his friend owned. Food was great but expensive. He had a smoke and beer while we ate. Wasn’t what I expected.

Dear Jennifer,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are sorry to hear that your experience.
However, after reviewing your comments, we would like to kindly double-check something with you, as your mention of a seated lunch does not match the structure of our tour. Our Berlin shore excursion does not include a seated lunch stop or an arranged restaurant meal, so we would like to confirm that this was indeed our tour you participated in.
Could you please confirm this for us?
Thank you again for your time and clarification.
Kind regards,
Vexperio
