Excellent in all respects. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had the best time on this tour with Chef Karl. We love cooking and had booked this tour on the night of our arrival to have something we were excited enough about to help us stay up and get on a new schedule. The tour made this easy. Chef Karl was wonderful. It was so interesting to hear his personal stories about divided Germany when he was a little boy. The food was interesting and diverse with his home made charcuterie an absolute highlight. Also a special mention to his ever...read more

The best food tour in Berlin

This has to be the best food tour in Berlin! Chef Karl takes you on a tour of his locality, brimming with stories of his family as well as local and national history. Then he serves a delicious meal in the intimate setting of his apartment, including home-cured meats and lovingly prepared German-inspired dishes. He's a fascinating host, with many tales, travels and experiences to relate, and you'll leave very satisfied on all counts!

Don't hestitate - this is the best food tour in Berlin!

Okay, WOW. You really can't go wrong with Chef Karl! By far the best food tour in Berlin I've been on (as a local who regularly takes visiting friends and family on food tours). Karl is friendly, entertaining and made us such an incredible meal, my parents and I are still talking about it! It was definitely the highlight of their visit to Berlin. The tour starts with a small tour of Karl's local neighbourhood then you go to his apartment for a 4-course home-cooked meal that was truly amazing. I ...read more

A unique experience in Berlin with delicious (non-German) food

Chef Karl took us on an interesting tour of East Berlin, areas that we would have never seen in typical tours. He was an excellent story-teller, some of which were true! The food was excellent, but don't make the mistake of arriving too hungry--we walked for over an hour before eating, so plan for eating late. The wine was excellent. Also, most of the food he prepared was not German, ie a fantastic chicken mole, but this was fine by me since I do not like most German food. :)

Authentic Food in a Comfortable Home Setting

We really loved how personal this culinary journey felt. Chef Karl explained the background of the area and his life in Berlin in a very engaging way. The dinner was outstanding, with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors. Each course felt special and thoughtfully prepared. The relaxed home atmosphere made it easy to enjoy the food and talk with other guests. This is a must-do for anyone who enjoys good food and meaningful experiences.
