Rostock Travel Guides (Updated October 2026)

We had a fabulous day in our shore excursion to Berlin. It was a long drive from our port, however our guide Annie was a wealth of information and kept us interested with a great insight into the history of the city. We visited many major sights - Berlin Wall, Brandenburg gate, Checkpoint Charlie etc. I would thoroughly recommend the trip, particularly if you are time limited.

We could not have asked for a more perfect guide than Walid! He led us calmly and confidently through the snafus caused by the Berlin Marathon. His knowledge of German history is exceptional and only added to a wonderful, but too short, day in Berlin.The bus ride was comfortable and the meeting point very convenient to the cruise terminal.This is an excellent tour for those with limited time to explore Berlin.

Great I have a good time. I learned a lot from him.

Excellent Tour! We had two drivers, Lukasz going to the camp and Berlin and Jakub returning and provided safe, comfortable transportation. Paul T. was our tour guide. Excellent tour! He provided a history of how the Nazis rose to power, and what led ip to the establishment of the camps. As much detail as you wanted to hear about how prisoners were treated in the camps, the function of the various buildings, and how the camps changed after the Nazis invaded Russia in 1942. We then went to Berlin, where he joined us for a nice lunch - a good break after the sadness of the camp, and then took us to the sights we wanted to see in Berlin, like Checkpoint Charlie, Hitler’s bunker, and the Brandenburg Gate. This was an excellent tour where we (a small group of 4) got a personalized tour of the camp & Berlin with answers to our questions. Highly recommended!

We were very fortunate to have Olvera as our guide. Not only was she well informed about the history of the city, but informed us about current trends happening in this region of Germany. We were blessed to be with her.

We had a group of 17 of friends from our. Cruise that went on this trip. We all enjoyed the sights and sounds of Berlin. We had plenty of time to wander on our own and do some shopping or get something to eat. They got us back in plenty of time to the ship! We would all recommend this tour of Berlin.

Our tour guide, Paul, was extremely knowledgeable about the major Berlin WW2 and Cold War sites and did a great job on our full day tour. His company also seamlessly organized our transportation throughout the day.

Visiting berlin with family is totally recommended. Everything was scheduled on time without creating any hassle, me and kids were all relaxed during our tour. Guide humble beginnings help us a lot to maintain our pace.

Our guide was a gem, he expertly linked Prussian era at Schloss Charlottenburg with Third Reich history, Cold war division, and post unification architecture, offering excellent context on the city's 20th century changes. We gained alot from this tour, and hope you guys will too.

All the major I see and other stuff they were really great stopped for washroom breaks. We had a 2 Hour Dr. into the city very friendly and patient.

Natalie was amazing!! Our family of 4 enjoyed our private tour of Berlin so much. We hit all of the big things we wanted to see and saw much more! Natalie gave us a great overview of history that was informative and entertaining.

Tal was extremely knowledgeable on all things Berlin!!! She was also very pleasant to spend the day with and we thoroughly enjoyed time together with she and our driver, Marcus.

Mikhail was a great tour guide. Knowledge and friendly. Got our group to all the sites we wanted. Thank you Mikhail!

Our tour guide was excellent! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we saw all of the major highlights despite the limited time. He even stayed with us beyond the scheduled tour to show us one additional site, which we really appreciated. His passion for Berlin’s history made the experience even more meaningful. We highly recommend this tour and especially our guide to anyone visiting from a cruise ship.

Might be the spontaneous decision we have ever made. Did this tour on our first full day and it set the tone for the whole trip perfectly. It is true that Berlin gets under your skin in a way no other city does and this tour is huge part of why.

Ania B. has an absolutely remarkable knowledge of Berlin. Far beyond the city’s iconic landmarks, she truly masters its soul: its complex history, its fractures, its rebirths, and its cultural subtleties. Each explanation is precise, vivid, and makes you feel as if you are traveling through time with rare clarity. Thanks to her, Berlin is not just visited — it is understood. An impressive level of expertise, shared with passion, intelligence, and a sense of accuracy that commands genuine respect.
