“We were on a NCL cruise and stopped in the port of Warnemunde Germany. It was about a 3 hour bus ride to Berlin. You do get a short bathroom/snack break along the way. If you need to use the restroom, you will have to have euros. However, I noticed the person that was sitting collecting the euros packed up and left while we were still there. So I kind of think it is a scam. It looks like someone just shows up at the the bathroom location and sets up a table to collect money. And when they think all the tour buses are done, they leave. I wouldn’t…”

“the tour was a delightful intro to Berlin that gave USA broad history from centuries before or Germany.

“The tour was great. Our driver met us as expected and took us to Berlin where we met Lorna. She was an excellent tour guide. We let her suggest the best locations to view. Her knowledge of the city was good and she was very personable. This trip with 5 others was much better that a tour on a large bus and I would highly recommend it.”
