Anne was a great guide and Matio was a great driver! We really enjoyed the trip. They picked us up promptly and had us back at the ship in plenty of time. The history was amazing! Anne was very knowledgeable. She was also very patient as we had a group on our tour that apparently didn't read the description and just thought this was a German beer tour (which it is clearly not!) and kept interrupting her asking for a beer stop. I definitely recommend!

Terrible, not organized, not knowledgeable guide. No headphones for such a big group. We spend most of the time trying to not to get lost. I definitely not going to recommend this excursion.

The tour you are referring to is one of our top-rated excursions, with over 70 five-star reviews and a Badge of Excellence.

Our tour guide, Anne, was excellent. Very informative and knowledgeable. We got to know Berlin very well with her. Answered all questions. Gave free time for personal exploring. Passengers on bus were respectful of time that Anne allotted. A very pleasant day. We got back to the ship in plenty of time before departure. Anne was very well aware of our ship departure time.
