Exploring Berlin’s Culinary Delights: A Must-Do Food Tour - I recently joined a food tour in Berlin, and it was an incredible experience. Our guide, Clara, was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what she does, which made the tour even more enjoyable. The food, drinks, and venues we visited were both diverse and interesting, offering a glimpse into Berlin’s vibrant cultural and culinary scene. It was a wonderful way to explore the city’s rich food landscape. The group dynamics added to the experience as well, with a mix of people of all ages, mostly families and friends, making it a fun and social activity. I would highly recommend this tour to any food enthusiast—it’s an excellent way to discover Berlin through its flavors.

Brilliant food and cultural experience that you can only get in person - We had a great time on the food tour of East Berlin. We learned so much about the difference cultures that have come together in the area. The different types of food we tried were all delicious and we loved the stories behind each experience. Our 18 and 16 year old boys really enjoyed the tour - it was a great family activity.

History, street art and of course fantastic food! - Laura was an excellent guide. She shared her passion for East Berlin, the diverse food scene and pertinent historical commentary. All of the food stops were absolutely delicious and chosen with purpose. The icing on the cake was the medieval Christmas market which was so very different than all the others. By the end of the tour we felt as if we made a new friend.

Amazing walking tour - much more than just food - Our tour today was one of the best things we have done in our visit to Berlin. The framework for the tour was food - walking to different establishments in East Berlin. We experienced a lot of different cuisines and dishes we'd never have thought of trying ourselves. But the tour was much more than just that. Edan our guide was absolutely full of great information about the history of Berlin and how it became so multicutural. He mixed this in with timelines of post War Berlin, reunification and also how people in Berlin today live. He even gave a great explanation about graffiti art in the city. We had been on bus tours before but this more personal experience was multiple levels better. Fully recommend!
