The excursion was a good...

melodicrhapsody7, Oct 2025

The excursion was a good overview of the historical points of German history. Our guide was an English gent who had been living in Berlin for over 20 years. He was very knowledgeable, affable with a wry sense of humor. Certainly good excursion. However the ride to Berlin was close to 2.5 to 3 hours back to the cruise port at Warmunde. The excursion in Berlin was great but not the trip back.

Good time in Berlin

Be ready to learn some history. Glen was very knowledgeable. It was a very nice experience. Would recommend.

Berlin in a rush.

expertisepasi, Sept 2025

Jonathon, tour guide, wasted precious time talking too much. History books exist. We ran out of time at the end when we could have seen checkpoint Charlie, the Berlin Wall, and the terror museum. Jonathon needs to be told that people are there to see Berlin not to hear him. The only thing we saw at the terror museum was the bathroom, we did not see checkpoint Charlie at all, and had ten minutes at the Berlin Wall.

Response from Host, Sept 2025

Dear Customer, Thank you for sharing your feedback. Please note that you booked a guided tour, and our guides are there to provide more than just quick facts. Their role is to bring Berlin’s complex history to life, offering insights and stories that go far beyond what can be found in a quick search. We want our guests to both see the sights and hear the real history of Berlin. For travelers who prefer to explore independently, we also offer a “Berlin on Your Own” option. Unfortunately, the day of your tour was heavily affected by traffic. As we communicate in advance, the itinerary may be adjusted when necessary to ensure all guests return safely to the ship on time. While this meant less time at certain sites, guest safety and timely return are always our top priorities. We are sorry that you were disappointed with the timing and hope that, despite these challenges, you were still able to enjoy experiencing Berlin with us. Warm regards, Natalia Vexperio

Great trip to Berlin!

Matthew_P, Sept 2025

Great trip to Berlin! The busses were right outside the terminal where we docked. Departed on time and it was a smooth, comfortable ride to Berlin. Plenty of bathroom breaks. We arrived back to port an hour before departure. Anne was an amazing guide and made the long journey fun and engaging. Great history lesson! Plenty of time for lunch on your own and shopping.
