Amazing tour with Clara! - This was an awesome way to see a portion of East Berlin on our first day here. We saw more in 4 hours that we could have seen on our own in a couple of days. And we definitely left the tour FULL!

Unique Berlin experince.Great for families with teens. - We had a really fun family day out on this tour. It gave us an oppoutunity to explore aspects of Berlins history and identity that we otherwise would not have seen. We found it to be a engaging activity to do with teeangers as having a young guide made it interesting and culturally relevant to them. Our guide was friendly and knowledgable and accomodating. Food was delicious and interesting and we loved the stories about the restuarants and food history.

Phenomenal food tour with Jed! Very friendly, very knowledgeable. Couldn't have asked for a better guide. - Great tour with an even greater guide. Very thankful for Jed being our guide. Did not think of food when it came to Berlin, definitely changing that opinion of mine.

Taste of Berlin Germany - We really enjoyed ourselves my wife and I. Jed did a great job with teaching us the history of Berlin Germany alone with the history of the foods we tried. I highly recommend this experience to taste food and learn history.

The food that has shaped Berlin - Such an interesting tour that focused not just on the recent history of Berlin but the people who have shaped the food and culture. Clara is incredibly knowledgeable, fun and answers every question. Clearly knows her stuff and loves Berlin.

Take this tour to see and eat real Berlin - Such a fun way to experience Berlin - I am not really a foodie but I love history and this tour is an awesome, in-depth exploration of Berlin’s past and present through the common dishes here. I also loved that the tour was in east Berlin and the areas we walked through seemed primarily residential and not touristy, felt like a glimpse of authentic Berlin. Jed is a terrific host on this journey, so personable and informative. Highly recommend.

Great food and history - We had such an amazing time on our Berlin Food Tour! Our guide, Jed, was absolutely fantastic — knowledgeable, engaging, and full of personality. He didn’t just take us to incredible spots for authentic and unique food; he tied each stop to Berlin’s rich and complex history, which made the experience so much more meaningful. From traditional German bites (with a street food flare) to hidden local favorites, every stop offered something delicious and unexpected. We loved learning how food, culture, and history intertwine in Berlin — and Jed’s storytelling really brought it all to life. If you’re visiting Berlin and want to experience the city through its flavors and past, this tour is a must-do. Come hungry and ready to be amazed!
