East Berlin Excellent Experience I had to leave early from this tour but the rest of my party stayed and had a great time. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable about East Berlin current culture and historical events dating back to WWII. We had variety of foods and had a wonderful time on this walking food tour. The entire experience was about 4 hours and involved 7 food/beverage stops. I would highly recommend this tour.

Delicious food and well-paced Clara was amazing!! The tour was super engaging and interesting. I found the food/beer/walking combo to be well paced, so I felt like I was able to try a lot of food without feeling overly full too quickly. Definitely worth the price, all the food was amazing and they were very accommodating for dietary restrictions including non-alcoholic beer and vegan/vegetarian options. Will definitely be booking a tour in the future with them.

First class tour. Well worth it We went on this tour yesterday and it was fantastic. Clara our tour guide was a very knowledgeable lady who kept the whole tour involved with her depth of knowledge. We ate a variety of food from a wide range of cultures. During the tour Clara took time to explain how the culture started in Berlin and developed. We had probably 4 or 5 drinks and 5 or 6 dishes of food so no need for an evening meal ! Well done Clara this was a great tour.

Excellent food tour! This was one of the best, if not *the* best, food tours that I’ve done. Clara was fun and interesting, and the tour took us through neighborhoods I would not have found on my own, very different vibes from the main tourist areas. There was a good variety and quantity of food, both local and international, as well as several beers and a local caffeinated soft drink. Perfect combination of food and history, and I wasn’t even hungry for dinner. Well worth the price.

We had a great tour of East Berlin with Clara whose knowledge of the history of the area and its culture made it a hugely enjoyable experience. The food stops were a vibrant tour through the many and varied nationalities that have populated the area over time. The portions are generous so arrive hungry.
