★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 293 reviews · 10 to 11 hours (approx.) · from $83Our pick

All-in-One Berlin shore excursion from Warnemunde or Rostock with a guided highlights loop, WWII and Cold War stops, and timed return to your ship.

“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.”

Our guide came on board once we got to Berlin. Waleed, was very funny and informative. He made sure everyone was together each time we left or got back onto the bus. The bus ride to and from the ship is long with not much to see but it was worth it to see something of Berlin.”

“Bus picked us up from cruise terminal. Met up with 2 tour guides in Hamburg at City Hall square. We were supposed to split up into two groups but there was some issue with some participants not being able to walk so one guide wanted to make half of the group become a "hop on hop off" style tour. However, 90% of the group wanted to walk the city. Took a lot of time away from the tour. Tour description specifically says not wheelchair accessible.

Plus he took us to some others we were unaware of. He always explained what we were seeing and the significance of it. He suggested several options for lunch and let us decide. It was delicious! We could not have had a better day. While it was a whirlwind tour of Berlin, we did not feel pushed or rushed. Highly recommend Will!”
