Walk Berlin’s top Christmas markets with a local guide, see landmarks from Brandenburg Gate to Alexanderplatz, and sample seasonal bites.
“It is a must as you get an overview of the city which you can then explore on your own.”
Small-group culinary tour through 3 Berlin Christmas markets with multiple food tastings, Glühwein, and local food stops in English.
“Nice experience with our travel guide, Simon. Meeting place was a tiny bit confusing but a quick text cleared it up - great communication. Small group so it was lovely chatting with others. Went to 3 markets and enjoyed food at all. Wish there was more time to spend at the first one as it was just a quick snack and drink. Overall a wonderful experience that I would recommend.”
A heated 90-minute Berlin Spree cruise in winter with major sights, cozy deck blankets, and festive holiday treats if you choose them onboard.

A 4-hour private walking tour of Berlin Christmas markets with a local guide, pickup option, and mobile ticket, from Alexanderplatz to the Zoo.
“Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area, and was able to give us some good information on Berlin. We enjoyed the second Christmas Market he took us to. The first was more like an American fair, so we asked to go to a traditional market, and he took us there. We had a really good time.”
A 90-minute Christmas boat ride along Berlin’s Spree past Reichstag and Museum Island, with heated comfort, mulled wine, and festive music.
“We had a fun time on the boat passing by Berlin’s too attractions. Great views from the rooftop, cushions and blankets were provided for additional comfort against the bitter cold. Christmas tunes, mulled wine and Stollen rounded out a great afternoon - nice one.”
