This food tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Berlin. We met us with Holger, the tour guide, outside Industrie-platz hostel, the location was easy to find. There were about 9 of us including me - we were from the USA, Ireland, Singapore and India/England. It was a great group and we had easy and lively banter. Holger has great knowledge of Berlin. and local food, history and culture. He brought us doughnuts to kick off the tour. We walked by the East side gallery, then tried local shnitzel (really good) and local beer. (Berlin beer is awesome by the way) and some really strong herbal concoction that knocked my brains out. Then walked more. A Turkish sweet shop then some tasty Asian tapas then walked more to get specialty fries. We walked into Kreuzberg finally and tried some local Turkish cuisine. The tour took about 4-5 hours in all. (Which is just as well as you need to burn off all the calories walking about!) Holger is a warm, friendly, funny and lively host. He has great knowledge of Berlin. The group itself was fun and it was a lovely, memorable day. Thank you Holger for the lovely tour! And thank you to the people in my group for making it fun!
