Berlin, Germany
Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Get ready for a taste sensation! On this exciting food tour you’re going to be tasting everything from traditional classics to modern multicultural fare –whilst soaking up the atmosphere of one of the most diverse and lively neighbourhoods in Berlin. To work up an appetite we’ll admire the panoramic view of Berlin’s skyline from the famous Oberbaum Bridge. With some of the last leftovers of the Berlin Wall in sight, you‘ll hear stories about the quirky annual “Water and Vegetable Battle” before entering the buzzing streets of Kreuzberg.
As you walk, you’ll see where Old Berlin traditions meet new influences, discover what a “Späti” is and why Berliners love them so much and uncover the tasty hidden gems of the area!
In our opinion, there's only one way to start a Berlin food tour: we’ll invite you to try our all- time favourite: The Currywurst (we think it’s one of the best in Berlin) at an authentic little spot before wandering through the charming streets of the Wrangelkiez, full of character, with little shops, cafes and grocery stores. You’ll go on a sensory exploration; from discovering one of Berlin’s oldest fish shops to the exotic tastes of a traditional Turkish sweet shop and one of the finest kebaps you’ve ever tasted.
Delight in a unique sampling of locally brewed beer from one of Berlin’s first craft beer bars and dive with us into the wonders of Markthalle Neun. Built in the 1890s, to ensure that Berliners had access to fresh produce, this beautiful market hall has evolved to be at the heart of Berlin’s street food scene and appeals to Berliners for its array of exquisite delicacies on offer from far and wide…prepare to be amazed- you won’t want to leave!
Kreuzberg is the creative nucleus of Berlin's street art scene. Throughout the food tour we’ll pass by countless murals, tags, and bombings, including some pieces by world-famous artists. Admire Blu's Leviathan or the wicked Animals of ROA, or just discover your own personal favourite among the many anonymous pieces.
Discover what it is that makes this area so unique and learn how the neighbourhood has changed in the past decades. One thing is for certain: Between mosques and record shops, whole food stores and currywurst stands, artists and students, Kreuzberg is the place to breathe in some real Berlin air!
On your food tour you’ll discover Berlin’s multicultural mix, explore an exciting arts scene, hear stories of change and inspiration and sample some unforgettable food. Whatever the weather or day of the week, we’ll show you our favourite spots, then all that’s left is for you to decide where you want to indulge and how much you want to treat yourself!
For those who want to dive into Berlin's nightlife afterwards, you're in the right area! Our guide will have no problem pointing you in the right direction to continue your epic time in Berlin.
This tour is priced for a minimum group size of two travellers. A solo traveller may still book this private experience but will be charged the base rate for two travellers.
