We offer you a splendid day trip to Berlin.

Our guide will join you upon your arrival in Berlin. Furthermore, although the emphasis of the tour will be on Jewish sights, general sights can also be included if you so wish. The bus will then return you to your cruise ship in Warnemuende.
Our special package includes:
1. the transfer to Berlin in the morning and back
to Warnemuende in the evening in a non-smoking private mini bus / bus with air
conditioning.
2. a guided city tour of the most important contemporary and historical places
of Jewish Berlin as well as other major sights in the city. All our trained
German, English or Hebrew speaking guides are local residents and well
acquainted with the city, its history and the Jewish Community of today.
3. a guided tour of the Jewish Museum, uniquely designed by Daniel Libeskind,

Peter was fabulous. Had a lot of info about Jews in the area, including all
