Fascinating, Fabulous Food Tour. - Rich in recent history and culture, this was a fascinating tour with some amazing culinary delights. Edan, our guide, brought a very human dimension to the tour, explaining what it meant to be in East Berlin through recent turbulent times. Reflecting the ethnicity of recent immigrant populations to East Berlin, we experienced some superb cuisines from Iraq, Vietnam, Syrian as well as authentic German street foods, beers and other drinks. Food as a common thread with some great street art thrown in too brought a very human dimension to the tour. So, in summary, a very enjoyable and hugely informative, fascinating and enriching experience.

Our guide, Clara, was fantastic — knowledgeable, engaging, and full of interesting stories that brought the city's colourful multicultural past to life. Her passion for Berlin was infectious. We explored an incredible mix of cuisines, all while learning how these communities became part of Berlin’s rich history. The blend of food and storytelling made for an unforgettable experience. Thanks, Clara, for making it fun and insightful!

Excellent food tour experience in chilly Berlin - Fantastic afternoon with our excellent guide, Jed. The whole experience was fun but also thought-provoking. Jed was really kind, warm and had extensive knowledge of the theme of the tour, and many other subjects as well. Really enjoyed listening to him. We went to places and restaurants which we otherwise wouldn't have gone to, and that was one of the best parts of the tour. The food was delicious (except for the currywurst!) and vegetarian / vegan options were available. Highly recommend this tour as part of your visit to Berlin!

Fantastic tour with Jed.... - Fantastic tour with Jed. Learned a lot and tasted a few different types of very nice typical food while discovering the eastern side of Berlin. We would have never known about these places on our own. Highly recommend
