Great overview of Christmas markets - We had a great time at 3 markets. Our guide, Sarah, told us a lot of history behind the places we visited. She took us to out of the way places that most tourists never see. It was an unforgettable time.

Worth every penny! - Such a great introduction to Berlin's Christmas markets! Our tour guide Kathinka was lovely and very knowledgeable about both Berlin and the markets. Some quaint markets were included in the tour which we would not have gone to on our own, and were worth the visit!

Excellent tour! ***** - Our tour guide Sarah was excellent. She was helpful and fun. She had so many stories and historical information. We toured a great mix of traditional and more modern Christmas markets, utilizing public transportation on the trip. Our favorite excursion in Berlin!

Long walk through Berlin going to the Christmas markets. - I enjoyed walking to the different markets. In England I live near Manchester and visited the German market but these are far better in Berlin. Much better choice of German food.

Nice selection of Markets - Our group (3) joined the aft. tour on Sat 30. Good historical info -3 Markets visited- would have given 5 stars if directions given better when travelling. Large crowds and difficult to see guide - a recognisable cap should be worn for easy visibility

Was nice and informative - Our guide was lovely and very knowledgeable but was a little disappointed with the selection of markets. One of the ones we were taken to had only 2 or 3 stalls. I know it is difficult getting everyone around but surely when you have between 60 and 80 markets to choose from the selection could be more interesting.

Good representation - We saw four markets across a range of types. (Unfortunately, the Spandau and the Holy S**t markets were too far for the time we had. They were both worth the trip if you have the time.) . An excellent choice if you are in Berlin during December. Good, convenient start and end locations. Kyle was a great guide, btw.

Dashing through the Berlin Christmas Market - My guide was well informed but it was a whirlwind. Not enough time to take all in. Sarah did give some interesting facts as we were going to each place.

Potentially best for first time travelers - This is a hard tour to review. The tour itself delivered everything as was stated in the description. The guide was helpful, on time and informative. From that perspective was great. Its just that we didn't get much out of it that we largely hadn't already worked out by ourselves. Essentially the tour was a guide to navigate the public transport (which is relatively easy to use in Berlin) and to point us at the better Xmas markets (which we had researched so was aware of). Summary: If you are a reasonably confident traveler and can figure out public transport just use a google search, google maps and go on your own. If you are less confident or do not have the time to research the best markets on the internet then it is probably worth it. For us, not a bad tour, just not enough value.
