Itinerary
Meeting your Tour Manager at London Heathrow, you fly to the German capital's new airport, Berlin Brandenburg, which opened in 2020, before transferring to your hotel on Alexanderplatz. Considered the heart of Berlin since the Middle Ages, this large square became the nerve centre of East Berlin during the Cold War. Today, it is a lively and ideal location from where to explore this fascinating and friendly city.
You have your dinner at your 4-Star hotel. This hotel is considered to be the city's tallest and has two atmospheric bars, a beer garden and a roof terrace from which to enjoy the fabulous views over Berlin.
It is possible to fly from regional airports and meet your Tour Manager in Germany

This is a packed and informative trip. I learnt a lot about all four countries but it’s not for people with mobility issues due to all the travelling and walking.

This tour was very well planned and organised. The tour manager, David, was superb, going out if his way to ensure that we all enjoyed our holiday and made the most of our time in the cities. The organised tours in each city were excellent, with informative guides. There was plenty of free time to explore these beautiful cities and there were suggestions for visits if wanted. The hotels were good and very conveniently located for transport and sight seeing. Local maps were available from reception desks. The factors which prevent me from awarding five stars are (a) the size of the group, 42, was larger than expected, (b) the single supplement of almost £500 was in my view disproportionate and unjustifiable, the accommodation being a very small part of the overall holiday and (c) the rail journeys, far from being an enjoyable feature of the tour were quite a trial. I had not anticipated having to manhandle my heavy suitcase together with my hand luggage up and down the narrow, steep 3 steps on and off the high trains and then to have to lift it on and off overhead luggage racks. This took quite a long time with 42 of us using the one door into the carriage. These were normal scheduled services and very busy trains. We had to rely on the assistance of other passengers. However, train journeys apart, it was a wonderful holiday.

An excellent way to see 4 cities but need to bear in mind the need to have a suitcase That you can lift onto a luggage rack on a train. The racks will take a medium size case But not a huge one. Ideal for the traveller who likes a guide led tour of a place then free time to Explore at will
