RJB Posted November 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Can anyone recommend a good Jewish Heritage Tour of Berlin? SPB is not a.ailable when we are in Berlin. There are 4 of us. try Alla tours or Milk and Honey tours. Both seem to get good marks. Used Alla in SPB and they were very good, but did not go to Berlin as it was too long a ride for me.

Paulchili Posted November 11, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) Also check out SPB tours. The owner (Viktoria) is from St Petersburg originally but now lives in Berlin with her husband and thus has good connections in Germany. I have used their tours in both places and we were very satisfied (but I have not done the one that you are specifically interested in). Alla is highly recommended as well.

easyboy Posted November 11, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 11, 2016 We also used SPB for Berlin and St. Petersburg 2day tour. They are very accommodating. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyal Roth was highly recommended by a friend. He is Jewish and you can find him on Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted November 11, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Did those of you who recommended SPB fail to notice that the OP said SPB isn't available the day they will be in Berlin? Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mura Posted November 12, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Paul, I must confess that I have often missed such factors as well! And I've even gotten in trouble once or twice because of my tendency to read posts too fast ... I also have a relative who has lived in Berlin for more than 20 years and gave us a wonderful tour of Jewish Berlin on our first visit there. But she is not a licensed guide and is kept very busy dealing with her business translating books from English to German and vice versa so I'm sure she wouldn't be available.

Rare pinotlover Posted November 13, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Just as a note. Several on my other tours, on our Baltic cruise, took the Berlin Jewish Heritage Tour. I don't remember a single person saying it was worth the long grueling bus ride to get there and back. I believe the consensus was that if one wanted to see and do Berlin, then fly in early and spend several days there before (or could be done after) the cruise. The tours were not worth the money, bus rides, and hassle. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our first visit to Berlin we were there a week and didn't begin to see it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulchili Posted November 13, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Agree with both above posts in general. That said, if one feels they may have no opportunity to visit the area again - for any number of reasons - then visiting Berlin for a day may not be such a bad decision (IMO, better than walking around in Warnemunde) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand my BW did it once and loved it. The second time we both stayed in Warnemunde and had a wonderful day. Little streets nice shops a small port area and the beach makes for good time without the hassle of over 6 hours sitting on a bus or in a car.
