Private East Berlin Food and History Tour

Absolutely. East Berlin’s food scene is one of the most diverse in Europe — Syrian, Turkish, Vietnamese, and German classics all in a few blocks — but it’s hard to navigate without a local. A private booking gives your group exclusive access to a Syrian family-run supper club, a Vietnamese-German fusion taco specialist, and the city’s best currywurst, with a guide focused entirely on your interests.

All food and drink across 6 stops, including a Syrian supper club experience, Vietnamese-German tacos, currywurst at the train station, döner or shawarma, smoked aubergine metabal, and Turkish sweets. Club Mate, local craft beer, and water are all included. A donated meal via World Central Kitchen is included with every booking. No hidden charges, no upsells.

This private food tour runs 3 hours, with daily 11:00 am or 11:45 am departures. Custom timings available for corporate groups on request.

East Berlin — including the East Side Gallery (the longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall), a former Nazi and Soviet training space turned nightlife zone, and one of the last remaining Berlin Squat Houses. We meet at Neue Bahnhofstraße 28 in Friedrichshain.

Private bookings are available for 2 to 12 guests. For larger groups, we can arrange a custom experience — get in touch.

We recommend at least 2 weeks ahead. Corporate groups should book 4+ weeks in advance — and around IFA, ITB Berlin, and Berlin Wall anniversary dates, much earlier.
