Overview

While docked at the Warnemünde cruise port, discover Berlin on this private, guided, full-day historical walking/riding tour. Enjoy personalized attention while visiting the city's highlights and hidden sites.

Begin this full-day tour with a Warnemünde pickup by our local driver. After a 2.5-hour ride south from the port meet your local Berlin guide in front of the impressive Schloss Charlottenburg.  This private tour can be customized to individual preferences. Drive around and walk through the city with an expert guide,who will provide a detailed account of Berlin’s fascinating and oftentimes troubled history.

Delve into the history of Berlin with a tour that charts the city's development from the time of the Teutonic Knights through to its key role in the major events of the twentieth century, as capital of the Nazi Third Reich, as the divided city of the Cold War, and as the modern capital of a unified Germany in the new Europe!

Stroll down Berlin's royal boulevard and retrace the city's evolution from a pagan fishing village into the capital of Prussia, a center of the Enlightenment under Frederick the Great, the scene of occupation by Napoleon, and the capital of Bismarck's German empire.Discover the brilliant memorial for the Nazi book burning close to where Marx studied and Albert Einstein taught.

Walk across the final battlefield of WWII and find out how the peculiar events surrounding the Reichstag fire led to the Nazis' rise to power in 1933. Stand at the site of Hitler's bunker: an in-depth account of the claustrophobic last days spent inside, Hitler’s suicide, the fate of his remains and what became of the bunker itself.

Explore the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and get the inside story behind the incredible controversy surrounding it. The Wall: the secret history of why it went up and how Berlin was divided overnight. Visit one of the longest remaining sections of the wall left standing close to the former SS & Gestapo HQ.See where President Reagan spoke the famous words: 'Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!' and where JFK was confronted with the Iron Curtain.

Pass through Checkpoint Charlie and discover the site where the Stasi and CIA spied on each other and heroic and tragic escape attempts were made - we'll share the amazing stories surrounding this Cold War crossing point. Visit Berlin's spectacular new government quarter and get a feel for the contemporary face of the city, its development since the fall of the Wall, and its future direction.When you are ready for a break the guide will suggest a variety of lunch options, such as a traditional German beer garden, or top notch Turkish or Vietnamese cuisine, two of Berlin's largest immigrant populations.  The tour concludes with a 2.5-hour drive north and a Warnemünde cruise port drop-off.

Maria D was wonderful as a guide. She was excellent and her background in history really provided a context for us to appreciate all the information she gave us for each of the highlights, We had a chance to reflect and had a very good discussion after one of our stops. I highly recommend MariA D as a guide for anyone who is interested in this tour. We covered a lot of ground and we learned so much in this tour.

We were met at the ship by a very nice driver who drove us to Berlin. He explained that the autobahn was undergoing repair and it would take us an extra approx. 30 mins....it took more like an extra hour. We arrived and met Rachel the tour guide. She said oh your late and rushed us thru the tour. We went to a memorial and i asked how many blocks were in the design....and I quote" I know but I won't tell you, because the artist doesn't want you to know" ergo....I dont know. When we got back to the ship we found out from all the others on the ships tours how many there were. She was cold, and we finished the tour at 3.30 and were packed off to the ship where we arrived just after 8, the driver took us thru the back roads and it it took nearly 4.40 hours to get back. At one point we were concerned that we were not going to make sail time, so the driver was driving at 160km in the rain. The kicker is we paid $1525.32 for this 4 hour tour of Berlin + a 1 hour lunch at a local restaurant. The ships tours were way more value, and none of the people eon the ships tour were in the bus for more that 3 hours and 40 minutes. I called La Vacanza Travel to complain, and was told the guide is very pleasant and we got our moneys worth. We have used La Vacanza Travel many times before but this shall be the last. DONT USE VIATOR FOR BERLIN. The ships tours are better for this. Too bad we had such a lousy experience!!!!

We have used La Vacanza Travel several years now. They are the best for showing you the sights and providing the history of the sights. We booked with them and they picked us up at the cruise ship dock and a driver drove us to Berlin. We then met our guide. The driver stayed with us. We returned to the ship in plenty of time. We love this company!

We were on a cruise and booked the Berlin shore excursion via La Vacanza Travel. Phil, who was our tour guide was by far one of the best tour guides i have ever had. My son is really interested World War II history and phil did a phenomenal job explaining everything to him and Germany involvment in the war and how it all started, I could not have asked for a better tour guide. He had pictures on his ipad to show and explain certain things. I would highly recommend booking this tour, definitely worth it!!
