Fantastic food and history tour. Our Guide Jed was great, it’s a 4 hour tour but the time goes by quickly because it’s interesting, enjoyable and delicious.
Our guide spoke excellent English, was very clear and very happy to answer questions.
We enjoyed walking through neighbourhoods and learning the development of the street food culture and the social shifts that brought about the vibrant environment of this area that is evident today.
Highly recommended

Had a fabulous afternoon of eating and learning about East Berlin. Clara was great at sharing the history, the neighborhood dynamics and the delicious foods, not only ingredients, but how and why these restaurants and owners came to be successful in the East Berlin community - highly recommend! We’ve already got our Prague one booked (we love these that much :-)
