Although there was a lot of walking for someone with mobility issues, it was very interesting. Our guide Matt was so personable and informative. I do wish he had used a microphone as I was usually in the back of group due to slow walking with rollator. Was hard to hear him. The driver was excellent and got us back in plenty of time for all aboard at 9:30 pm...and safely!

We visited all the main historic sites and received valuable onsite from our Tour guide Matt. He is very experienced and knowledgeable and provided us with some detailed outlines of historic events that impacted each area we visited. We were picked up at the Cruise Terminal on time at 7.30am and arrived back at 8pm, well before Onboard time of 9.30pm. Our biggest fear booking this long day tour to see Berlin was making sure that an independent tour operator would get us back in time . The Viator/ Experio team were very experienced and well organised . Our bus driver Uli, kept us safe and got us through some heavy traffic delays we left the City. A long but wonderful day. Thanks Viator 👍

Campbell did a fantastic job. He really went all out his his history, stories and photos. He seemed a little rushed and we didn’t really have time for questions. He gave us some free time but didn’t really explain to us where we were. He also forgot his umbrella and seemed a little miffed when people couldn’t find him.

It's a long bus ride from the port, but our guide made it fun and informative. We stopped for bathroom breaks. The tour of Berlin was very interesting. I feel like we had a good overview considering we only had one day there. Highly recommend.

What a great time with Matt in Berlin. He was an encyclopedia of knowledge of Berlin’s history and gave good insights of Germany during World War II and the aftermath. Loved seeing what was left of the Berlin Wall and checkpoint Charlie.

We had a great day exploring Berlin with our tour guide Scott. The tour left promptly at 730. The tour was a good mix of walking a breaks on the bus. We saw most of the major sites of Berlin and learned a great deal of history. I would highly recommend this tout.

The tour was great, our tour guide, Matt, was very knowledgeable and humorous. The only negative was the flat tire on the bus on the way back to Rostock port. We waited over an hour for replacement bus and just made it back to ship in time. The tour company was very concerned. Nd kept in touch with us throughout the ordeal and even gave us a partial refund. Highly recommend!
