East Side Gallery alone was worth the trip, but combined with TV Tower (Fernsehturm) observation deck this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Brandenburg Gate and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Berlin is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Reichstag Dome. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.
