“Guide on trip and driver were excellent . Jacqueline was very informative about Bavarian history and customs she pointed out many interesting sites and facts to and from the castles and towns. One of the best tours we have taken over all Europe . Could use a little more time after Neuschwanstein tour to go to gift shop, balcony, and walk down to bus, we don’t walk fast anymore and the carriage stopped running late in the day.”
1.5-hour Hamburg harbor cruise through Speicherstadt and HafenCity, with German live commentary and a stop at Elbphilharmonie pier.
“All in German, so a bit tough for language learners or English speaking passengers. Audio guide is good but can’t really listen while on tour. Too difficult to hear with the live narration. Recommend listening to audio guide before or after the tour. Bring your camera. Get to the boat a bit early for better seats. Have fun!”
Semperoper tour in Dresden with skip-the-line tickets, guided visit of rebuilt Renaissance rooms and the theater auditorium, plus a €3 photo license.
“Although the tour was 45 minutes, I think it was worth attending to learn more and see the beautiful architecture within this unique building. FYI... They only conduct 2 tours a week, so make sure you plan accordingly.”
A 2.25-hour River Spree cruise in Berlin with audio in 12 languages, major sights from the water, and onboard drinks for purchase.
“It was exactly as we had hoped for. A two hour tour along the river Spree, and even though the weather was... cold, and wet, we stayed on the upper deck where we could see everything. Absolutely recommendable.”
A 3.5-hour Berlin guided walk through four eras, from Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag to Checkpoint Charlie and Topography of Terror.

Jewish Museum Berlin: symbolic Libeskind architecture, powerful Jewish history exhibits, free entry, and a useful audio app. Plan about 2 hours.
“Very interesting, though quite depressive. However, it is not the fault of the Museum but of the scary ideology and politics of the Nazi Germany.”
Berlin WelcomeCard gives you ABC-zone public transport in Berlin, incl. BER Airport, plus discounts up to 50% for sights and museums.
“The sites I wanted to visit om my short break were spread around the city so the use of public transport was anticipated. The 72hour Welcome card which I bought on line in advance was a great value for money option for me. I set the start time for my arrival at the airport and from that point I was able to just walk onto all the transport I needed. I used both the U Bahn and S Bahn services and it was efficient and effortless. Combined with the 25% savings on some of the locations I visited it was certainly good value for money without thinking of buying further…”
