Itinerary
Your hosts will greet you in front of your cruise ship as soon as it docks and show you to a comfortable, air-conditioned bus. You will share the bus with other passengers from your cruise ship. After a relaxing 3-hour journey through the picturesque flatlands of East Germany, you will arrive in Berlin. Here, a private vehicle with a driver and a professional tour guide will be waiting for you. After a 6-hour private tour, you will return to the bus and travel back to the port. Your private tour of the city can be fully customized to your preferences. You decide what to visit, where to stop, and how to spend your time.
Upon arriving in Berlin, your professional guide will join the tour. You will then enjoy a drive-by view of Charlottenburg Palace, Berlin’s largest and most magnificent royal residence.
From here we will continue to the Kurfürstendamm shopping boulevard passing the Kaiser William Memorial Church and the famous KaDeWe Department Store.
We will then head through the central park of Berlin, the Tiergarten, past the Presidential Palace Bellevue and on to the new Government Quarter to see the impressive German Parliament, the Reichstag.
We will then stroll through the Brandenburg Gate and Paris Square to the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.
Next we will visit to the adjacent Führer Bunker where Hitler committed suicide in March of 1945. Our last stop before lunch will be Potsdamer Platz, the new “Times Square” of Berlin.
After some free time for lunch it is on to the former Jewish Quarter and the New Synagogue which has become the fashion and art district of the city.
We will visit the Scheunen Quarter, see the oldest Jewish cemetery, the Otto Weidt workshop, as well as the former Jewish boys’ and girls school along with many other monuments commemorating the once thriving Jewish community.
From here we make our way to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Museum Island as well as the Neue Wache War Memorial. A drive along Unter den Linden will bring us past the Book Burning Square and on to Berlin's most beautiful square Gendarmenmarkt.
The next stop will be the Cold War Icon Checkpoint Charlie.
Finally it is on to the Berlin Wall and the former SS and Gestapo HQ now known as the Topography of Terror.

About Rostock
Rostock is an old Hanseatic port on Germany's Baltic coast, with brick Gothic churches, a historic university and the beach resort of Warnemünde.
Rostock grew rich as a Hanseatic trading port on the Warnow river, and its university, founded in 1419, is among the oldest in northern Europe. The brick Gothic Marienkirche holds an astronomical clock from 1472 that still keeps time. The Neuer Markt is dominated by the town hall, whose seven slender turrets rise above a baroque front, and the Kröpeliner Tor is a medieval gate at the end of the pedestrian street.
