Hard Rock Cafe Berlin skip-the-line lunch or dinner with priority seating, rock memorabilia, and a Gold or Diamond set menu for $33.
“Everything was very straightforward and enjoyable. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and very hospitality. We settled for 2 course set meun and i think it was worth the price.”
Munich beer and food night with reserved tastings, a private Oktoberfest Museum visit, and Bavarian dinner, plus classic beer-hall stops.
“Worth every penny! Our tour guide Mike was absolutely fantastic!”
Hard Rock Cafe Cologne set menu for lunch or dinner: BBQ ribs, burgers, salads, desserts, music memorabilia, priority seating.
“It is my very first time in a hard rock cafe and I have very high expectations. When me and my boyfriend arrived in the venue the staff assigned us to a table for two which by the way is not a very good and comfortable spot. It is by the corner and the wall was like a storage door with poor lighting and the chair is very compressed to the table which doesn’t give us enough space. I didn’t feel like I’m going to enjoy my dinner that time and so I approached the guy who assigned us the seat and asked him to kindly look for a more…”
Priority seating and a fixed 2- or 3-course Hard Rock Cafe Munich meal near Hofbräuhaus, with Rock Shop browsing and set desserts.
“tutto ok non posso lamentarmi, anche perché Hard Rock, è una realtà degna di nota quella di Monaco di Baviera rispecchia perfettamente.”
Rooftop 4-course dinner at Käfer in Berlin’s Reichstag dome, with an aperitif and coffee. Watch Berlin lights, skip ticket line.

150-minute Spree dinner cruise in Berlin with Prosecco, 3 or 4-course menus, and classic landmarks from Reichstag to Schloss Bellevue.
“The location to get the boat was a little out of the way and in a weird area, but the experience itself was fantastic. The staff was very professional and attentive. The ride was beautiful with the scenery. The food was really good. Very enjoyable time and worth the money. Would recommend.”
Sunset on the Spree with a 4-course Berlin dinner, free-flow beer and wine, and illuminated landmarks from an intimate 12-table ship.
“Good experience and scenery commentary sound and content could do with a review to enhance the experience. Service and food both good.”
Berlin Spree River 3-course dinner cruise with a prosecco welcome, limited tables, and sunset views of Reichstag and Fernsehturm.
“We have used Viator many times in several cities and this was the only one to disappoint. The food was basic (cold potato salad for starter, pork with carrots and mash for main, apples and cold custard for pud, with another group having a different (better) menu and top up drinks. We were offered coffee, not told we’d have to pay for it and then they would only take cash - we didn’t have any. Made us feel very uncomfortable. The tour was recorded and we couldn’t hear it most of the time. Please check this one out Viator before signing up again with them.”
Day trip from Frankfurt to Heidelberg and the Rhine with Schloss ruins, UNESCO Rhine cruise, dinner, and wine tasting.
“The boat ride was fine, but the “wine tasting” was a joke. Following dinner, we were each given shot glasses with three different white wines. We were expecting much more including some kind of commentary/instruction from an expert.”
