"My family and I have been on many Eating Europe food tours and we were excited to explore East Berlin with Clara as our guide today! We learned so much and tasted so many delicious foods and drinks at places we likely wouldn’t have found on our own! Highly recommend to anyone who’s excited to dive into Berlin’s local food, beer and culture.  "
