This was a great experience! Alex showed us places we never would have found, showed us where locals eat, and shared lots of history of Berlin. He was aware that some in our group prefered nonalcoholic drinks and offered suggestions. He answered all of our questions while keeping us on schedule. We walked a lot but were stuffed with great food! I cannot recommend this highly enough!

Awesome experience! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn about Berlin, eat great food, with fantastic company.
What a great afternoon in Berlin! Margot took us to an area of Berlin out of the city center, and we went to local shops, restaurants, and even a “hole in the wall” under the train tracks for very good and interesting food and beer. In addition we learned how Berlin is changing and has changed over the years. Book this tour for a fun afternoon with a wonderful guide.
This tour was definitely a highlight of my trip to Berlin! Excellent tour and so thankful that they were able to accommodate my dietary preferences. I had no idea that there would be so many Vegan options! Blended the perfect amount of time learning history of Berlin while enjoying delicious bites. You will leave full!
We had a great experience with Alex, he's very approachable and very knowledgeable, and also sent us some other recommendations afterwards. The tour was a good balance of food stops and walking around, would happily recommend to others! I've been to Berlin before but not explored as much on the east side so this was perfect.
This tour was a great exploration of the different foods found throughout Berlin, and Alex was a wonderful guide, explaining not only the origins of these delicious treats (the pork schnitzel was excellent!), but also the history of the city itself. He also peppered the tour with fun facts and locations (the secret pack vending machine and the disco picture phone booth were so cool). This tour was a great combination of Berlin food and history, and Alex delivered this information with passion and professionalism.
Fun experience tasting local foods and learning about Berlin history.
It was even better than we expected. Alex not only took us to fantastic places to eat but also explained how the area has changed over the years. He was knowledgeable and entertaining!
We had a great time on our Berlin food tour with Alex! He took us on an informative journey with a superior and diverse selection of authentic foods. We highly recommend all who come to Berlin to go on this tour!
Margot was a great guide. She showed us some great places, some of which felt very local! All the food was fantastic, and she did an amazing job of accommodating the vegetarian in the group.
Alex is very knowledgeable and engaging and the food was delicious. We really felt like we got the insider's guide to Berlin! Highly recommend this tour!
The tour was great! The food was delicious with huge portions and beers. And the tour guide was so knowledgeable and fun! I saw beautiful street art. Went to restaurants with great vibes. And met cool people! 1000/10
All of the food and business owners were delightful and full of quality, but I was expecting Schnitzle, Spaetzle, sausage, kraut or dumplings. We did have incredible schnitzle, but the rest was all Turkish. A wrap, nuts, curry sausage, flatbread and apple cake. We also toured the graffitti district which attracts skateboarders, younger painters & music lovers. Everything was closed. She shared constant political views during the tour as well which were contrary to all of us in the tour based on the looks being shared and quiet whispers. She needs to recognize that all of us were in the groups she was speaking ill of. Know your audience and don’t cut off the hand that feeds you.
This is an amazing tour. The food was delicious, with little hidden food gems off the beaten path. Guide was so warm and knowledgeable of the area, food and history. I highly recommend this tour! My 12 year old joined me and loved all the food as well.
Margot was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. Took us through former East Berlin and showed sites we would not have otherwise found on our own. Food was outstanding, a diverse offering of local cuisine and variety of establishments. Don't plan a meal after the tour, you'll get plenty to eat. Highly recommend this tour.
Excellent tour. Alex was a great guide. He was very patient answering all of our questions. The food was great. Good history insight to some cool east Berlin spots.
When we visit new cities, we love to take food and cultural tours whenever we can. This particular tour led by Alex was everything we hoped such a tour would be. We had several food stops where we got to try local German and Turkish plates, complimented with local beers and various types of Spritz. The tour took place in the “Arty streets of old East Germany”. Alex did a really nice job of explaining our surroundings showing how the food culture had developed over time. We have taken many food tours around the world, and this tour was certainly in our top three. Thank you Alex for an enjoyable tour and sharing with us your obvious pride in the city.
This was an excellent tour. Alex knew so much and gave us a balanced perspective. The blend of food and history was very enjoyable. I loved trying all the popular meals and drinks.
Took a food tour with Alex in Aug of 2026. It was a fantastic tour. The food was enough for a full meal. We stopped at 4 different places to get food. As we wondered though the East Berlin neighborhood with beers Alex told us about both the history of the area and about what was happing in the area today. The tour felt more like hanging out with a really knowledgeable friend rather than just a tour guide. I would definitely recommend if you are in Berlin.
This is a great tour!! Our guide, Alex, is so personable and knowledgeable! He took us to places we never would have seen or known about on our own. The food and restaurants were incredible!! Our group thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this tour! Highly recommend!!!

Absolutely amazing food tour in Berlin! Such a great experience from start to finish. We visited some fantastic locations, tasted a wonderful variety of food, and learned so much about Berlin’s culture and history along the way. Our host was excellent … knowledgeable, engaging and made the whole experience really enjoyable. It was everything you could want from a food and cultural tour and a brilliant way to experience a different side of Berlin. Definitely worth doing and one of the highlights of our time in Berlin. Highly recommended… loved it!
We booked the tour directly with Margot. She was very good in communicating with us and assured us good vegetarian options. Alex did the tour. He was very informative and kept the whole group informed and interested in the tour. Did not rush us at all. All the food stops were good and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend using them for tours in Berlin.
This tour was great! One of the best I’ve been on! Alex was very knowledgeable - we learned so much about East Berlin as well as experiencing the culture through food and drinks! Come hungry because the food is more than plentiful! I would highly recommend this walking food tour with Alex’s company.
Alex was a wonderful guide who went out of his way to engage and share his experience in Berlin. Highly recommend.
Our Berlin tour with Alex was a highlight of our trip! He was so knowledgable about the city, the history, and the food that tied it together. He was enthusiastic and approachable, highest recommendation!
Alex was wonderful - very informative . Kind, and fun. We really enjoyed the tour and learned a ton about Berlin and the influences on the food scene .
We had so much fun! It's crazy how much he knows about Berlin and the history. We were in a part of town that we would have never gone to on our own. It was interesting to go to local spots where we were the only tourists. Highly recommend this tour!!
Alex was phenomenal! Great providing history along our walk and then getting us to the food. I was stuffed after 2 stops but there was more, a lot more. And beer. Currywurst is a local favorite for a reason but it might not be for everyone, and that's okay. Try it for yourself. The final stop was a total banger. Two thumbs up.
Very informative and interesting walking tour by Alex. Great choice of food - 6 ‘samples’ and visits to areas we wouldn’t just ‘walk into to’. Great to eat like a local . Would recommend for anyone wanting to appreciate the history of east Berlin and try local food.
Alex was extremely informative and had so many interesting stories to tell, about the food and. Berlin’s history. The food we sampled was thoughtfully curated and delicious across the board.
Favorite Tour in Berlin! Tasted many Germany classics and Alex gave us an awesome historical breakdowns of the neighborhoods we ventured through. My first food tour but now it will definitely no lt be my last!
Alex brought a great mix of history, modern-day knowledge, and a vast array of food/restaurants to the tour. He was very personable and we learned about everything we were eating plus info on our surroundings. The food was AWESOME and we would happily return to any of those places for more grub. Well worth the time and price! Alex was wonderful!
Alex was a fantastic host! He is very knowledgeable about Berlin and he selected the best places to visit and the tastiest food to try. Highly recommend!!
Alex did a really great job! He had a lot of knowledge, and we ate at restaurant that only the locals know about. This was a really amazing tour with so much food. This tour is worth it!
What a wonderful way to explore some of the culinary and culture of Berlin. Alex our guide was truly wonderful. This tour is full of information and great food at the best local spots. I thought it would be small samples- it was generous portions served with pride and heritage.
Margo & Alex are the consummate professionals. Their insights and connection to the area provide a unique and entertaining afternoon. Margo’s passion and long term connection to the RAW district delivers a locals perspective rather than one derived from a book. Starve yourself before the tour because the food and beer/wine is plentiful. Tip, save some room for the final offering/desert because the picture you see here is waiting for you. As you can read we (family 4) thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend you select this tour.
Come hungry. Food was fabulous. Not just German food, also included Turkish food. Tour guide Alex was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed this immensely. Highly recommend. It was in Eastern Berlin.
This food tour was a highlight of our time in Berlin. Alex was a great guide and showed us areas of east Berlin we would not have known to visit! He taught us so much about the history of Berlin and the vast and rich food culture within the city. Definitely don’t skip this tour! Thank you, Alex!
We loved our food tour in Berlin! Alex was our guide and he was an excellent host. 1 or 2 of our group were insistent on asking him a million questions, and he was more than happy to answer them all - sorry Alex! The food we experienced was great but the craic we had was even better. We visited some food outlets that we would never had thought of visiting and were very glad we did. We would like to wish the 'German Alvarez Canelo' (Alex) and his wife all the best in the future with their tours. Thanks very much!!
Alex is a fantastic tour guide. All the food is great, the history he shares a lomg the way you'd never know unless you were dedicated to learning as much as him. You also get a lot of food so no need to eat before and maybe even after. Overall tge other reviews are spot on. Definitely worth yoir money and more
We always do a food/walking tour when we are travelling, and this tour was the highlight of our visit to Berlin. Margot was fantastic. Knowledgeable, personable & fun. The food was so good, and the neighborhoods we walked through, we likely would have never found on our own. Highly recommend.
Margot is amazing! Her knowledge of the area and enthusiasm for the culture, the food, and the community is delightful. She chooses a nice variety of eateries and food samples that represent this eclectic and cosmopolitan area. Margot made us feel like family. We loved her stories too. Her tour was the highlight of our Berlin adventure.
Margot was the most wonderful tour guide. I felt like we were meeting a family friend who wanted to take us to the very best and have wonderful conversations. The food was amazing and I would absolutely recommend it to anybody who comes to town.
Our walking food tour with Margot was fantastic! It was like meeting with your best friend who was excited to show you around town and give you only the best. We had such fun conversations with her and learned a lot of interesting things about Berlin along the way. And the food was fantastic! The schnitzel and the flammenkugle were our favorites. You will absolutely love this tour.
On our tour day it was a small group & met some lovely people. Alex, our guide arrived promptly & his knowledge made the tour really interesting taking us places we would not have found ourselves. Food sampled was plentiful & varied so go hungry ! Tour was taken at a reasonable pace. Would definitely recommend this tour !
Alex was absolutely amazing!! I went on this tour solo and met some great people as well. The amount of history that he was able to share with us while also taking us to some great food spots made it totally worth it. A friend recommended it to me, and I couldn’t help but recommend it to others. It’s a must in Berlin!
Our guide Alex was wonderful. He made the history of Berlin come alive. We had 6 different foods at 5 different places and everything we tried was delicious. The Turkish food and Sausage Curry were especially good.
Lots of great food, culture, and history by Alex. Very enjoyable and recommended.
My husband and I had a fantastic time on this food tour! Our guide Alex was brilliant, super knowledgeable about the city and took us to some really great spots with excellent food and good vibes. We got exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend!
