Great tour with a great guide. - We have just finished the East Berlin food and history tour. We highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Anastasia was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She made us feel comfortable and was happy to answer any questions we had. The food was incredible. I would suggest to come with an empty tummy. We had the best time.

Excellent tour with an excellent tour guide, Anastasia! - Anastasia was an excellent tour guide! She was knowledgeable not only about East Berlin, but the foods that we ate. Do not hesitate to take this tour. The food portions are large and you will certainly not go hungry. I highly recommend this tour and hopefully you will have Anastasia as your tour guide to make it even better!

Top Notch - Anastasia and Clara are amazing guides who went out of their way to treat us to an incredible experience, sharing the rich cultural history of Berlin through its diverse cuisine. My family and I have been on at least a dozen food tours throughout our many trips across Europe. This tour is in our top 5 from a food perspective while the overall experience is number 1. Well done ladies!

Amazing tour with Clara! - This was an awesome way to see a portion of East Berlin on our first day here. We saw more in 4 hours that we could have seen on our own in a couple of days. And we definitely left the tour FULL!

Unique Berlin experince.Great for families with teens. - We had a really fun family day out on this tour. It gave us an oppoutunity to explore aspects of Berlins history and identity that we otherwise would not have seen. We found it to be a engaging activity to do with teeangers as having a young guide made it interesting and culturally relevant to them. Our guide was friendly and knowledgable and accomodating. Food was delicious and interesting and we loved the stories about the restuarants and food history.

Phenomenal food tour with Jed! Very friendly, very knowledgeable. Couldn't have asked for a better guide. - Great tour with an even greater guide. Very thankful for Jed being our guide. Did not think of food when it came to Berlin, definitely changing that opinion of mine.
