We had a fantastic time exploring Berlin, Prague, and Munich, and experienced a diverse array of activities during our 10-day trip. Our local specialist, Lucie, secured excellent accommodations in Berlin and Munich, even though both cities were extremely busy due to the marathon and Oktoberfest, respectively.

We thoroughly enjoyed our food tours in Berlin and Prague, where we sampled local cuisine and learned fascinating facts about each city. Our time at Oktoberfest was unforgettable, and we had a blast celebrating one of the biggest parties in the world.

The trip offered a great balance of scheduled activities, including private and small group tours, along with plenty of free time. It never felt rushed or overpacked. On the final day, we were captivated by the beauty of the Bavarian Alps and Neuschwanstein Castle. It was a truly memorable way to end our journey.

The rooms were clean, though slightly dated, and the location was a bit removed from Berlin’s city center.
