1.All-in-One Berlin Shore Excursion from Warnemunde

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 293 reviews · 10 to 11 hours (approx.) · from $83Our pick

Review of the Berlin shore excursion from Warnemünde, covering major sights, costs, timing, transport, guides, and practical cruise-day advice.

“This was a fun, educational, and comprehensive tour for half the price that the cruise ship charged. The tour left promptly and returned with two-and-a-half hours to spare before our departure, leaving us a bit behind f time to explore Warnemünde. Our guide, Anna, was very helpful and knowledgeable. I feel we got to see a good representation of Berlin even though we didn’t have a lot of time in each place. But with a 3-hour drive in each direction you have to make the most of it. I would definitely recommend!”
