The best 4 hours in Berlin: Indulge in local delicacies, savor artisanal beers, and immerse yourself in the city's rich history.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
Explore Berlin's rich history and vibrant culinary scene with my "Berlin in 4: Savor, Sip, and Soak in History!" experience. Led by a knowledgeable local host, you’ll discover iconic sites and hidden gems while indulging in local flavors from traditional bratwurst to craft beers. This experience is a fantastic mix of culture and food that really shows off Berlin's lively spirit and welcoming hospitality.
I’ve set you to start with a visit to the iconic East Side Gallery, the longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall. The art and your host will simultaneously regale you with stories of Berlins tumultuous past. I was captivated by the true stories of division and reunification. Your host will not only bring the story to life but also its characters.
Holzmarkt is the next stop of your experience, even though getting there will feel like an experience of its own. Savor the flavors of authentic German cuisine in the traditional beer garden I loved. Schnitzel, bratwurst, and sauerkraut, paired perfectly with locally brewed beer along the banks of the Spree. You might not want to move on, but you have to.
I hope you’re not too full. I want you to enjoy some street food whilst you wander through the bustling markets and hidden alleys of Markthalle Neun. There is plenty of international fare on offer but I want you to try the more local offering, apfelstrudel was my love.
Osthafen is your new destination and you will enjoy some of the most beautiful views of the Spree river as you make your way there. Enjoy the waterfront or jump into some of the nearby cafes for a needed coffee fix. You’ll be shown the historical northern and southern harbor basins that are still in use today.
You’ll round off the experience with a visit to the iconic Oberbaum bridge over the River Spree. Here you will have amazing views of the city skyline and your host will show you the must see sights. This is a really popular spot for photography and i’d recommend you indulge. Share your pictures so we can enjoy it with you.
That's it, you’ve crammed in some amazing, not so usual Berlin things to see and do. I hope you are feeling great and fulfilled and keen to carry on exploring.

Show moreExcellent tour,very informative. Natasha was chuck full of details and historical facts and had an excellent knowledge of the city's neighborhoods.
Show moreWhat an amazing tour! Thank you for this tour that shows a side of the city that most people never get to see. The non-touristy spots gave me a real feel for the culture and daily life. I’ve got an excellent guide too (Luca), and I feel lucky to have had the chance to explore the city “unscripted.”
Show moreOur guide was Nick. I reached out by email early in the morning to ask if he could meet us at our hotel instead of a previous destination. He responded quickly and accommodated our request. Nick was very engaging, asked us what we would like to see and gave us several options along the way. When Nick realized we were very interested in street art, he revised our location and we went with him by train to a nearby town. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the region and the artists. We went to a large German market for some refreshment and great conversation. Then Nick made sure we got back to our hotel even though we ran over about 30 minutes because of the train ride the end of the tour. We were sad to part ways because he was so engaging and became like a friend. Would definitely recommend this experience to others.
Show moreFue muy interesante, y ya tuvo mucha paciencia para movernos con calma, donde íbamos ella conoce perfectamente los rincones y es muy agradable, pasear con alguien que sabe adonde llevarte. It was very interesting, and she was very patient in guiding us calmly where we were going. She knows the corners perfectly, and it's very pleasant to walk with someone who knows where to take you.
