Itinerary

  1. Your hosts will greet you in front of your cruise ship as soon as it docks and show you to a comfortable, air-conditioned bus. You will share the bus with other passengers from your cruise ship. After a relaxing 3-hour journey through the picturesque flatlands of East Germany, you will arrive in Berlin, where a private vehicle with a driver and a professional tour guide will be waiting for you. Your private tour of the city can be fully customized to your exact specifications. You decide what to visit, where to stop, and how to spend your time. It is hands down the most flexible way to explore the German capital.
  2. Typically the tour begins at the Charlottenburg Palace. Following an introduction to the city given by your private tour guide, you will drive through the former British sector along the Kurfürstendamm, past the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and the KaDeWe.
  3. You will then head to East Berlin, stopping for a photo opportunity at the Reichstag.
  4. Stroll through the famous Brandenburg Gate and nearby Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Admire the Tiergarten, the Victory Column, a Soviet memorial, as well as the Paris Square.
  5. Continue on to the site of Hitler’s bunker, through Potsdamer Platz to one of the few remaining pieces of the Berlin Wall before reaching the Topography of Terror.
  6. Next is your chance to pass through Checkpoint Charlie – the most famous crossing point between East and West Berlin during the Cold War - and visit the former US sector.
  7. After some free time for lunch (not included in the tour price), your tour will continue through the former Soviet sector of East Berlin to visit the spectacular Gendarmenmarkt and Bebelplatz – famous as the ‘Nazi Book Burning Square’. You will also have a chance to visit Berlin’s historic former Royal Quarter – the beautiful boulevard of Unter den Linden, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Museum Island, the Berlin Cathedral, and Alexanderplatz with its iconic TV Tower.
  8. Time permitting you might also drive past the longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall with its world-famous graffiti – the East Side Gallery or stop in the former Jewish Quarter. At the end of your Berlin tour, say goodbye to your tour guide, board the shared bus, and be whisked off in comfort back to your cruise ship.
  9. Arrive back at your cruise ship with plenty of time to spare before its departure. Our expert team has been organizing these tours for nearly a decade. We have never missed a cruise ship’s departure and imparted our knowledge and enthusiasm for our unique and beautiful city to thousands of satisfied passengers!
