If you've experienced this holiday first hand, why not write a review?
We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip Beyond the Iron Curtain. We found it more relaxing to have additional nights in Berlin and Prague. The hotels were all in great locations and were full of local character.
We really enjoyed our trip "Beyond the Iron Curtain" and particuallry like the concept of independent travel but with bookings done for us and walking notes and guidance provided. All four hotels we stayed in were very nice, although being in a convenient city centre location (Prague) can be noisy. Good to be in interesting, boutique type hotels rather than big chains.
Plenty to do in each city. The weather was glorious and we chose to be outside so didn't visit any museums but we did enjoy the hop on - hop off sightseeing bus rides in each place. Two of those (Leipzig and Prague) also included boat trips. Caution when buying the tickets though - not all trips have english commentary. Check first if that's an issue.
A personal highlight for us was dinner in the rotating restaurant high up in the Fernsehturm in Berlin. Get there early (7pm) to see Berlin in daylight, then by the time you finish dinner you see it lit up at night. Magical!
We felt that, for us, the visitor cards were a waste of money - in Berlin we only used the welcome card to get from the airport to the central station. In Leipzig we could only use it for a 2 euro reduction on the bus trip. In Dresden we didn't use it at all. Maybe if we visted every possible museum it might have been worthwhile but Inntravel might like to rethink these cards as most restaurants, cafes and attractions didn't accept them.
Tips for Berlin: We recommend a vegan restaurant, 'Vegan 87', at Elisabeth-Schwarzhaupt-Platz 5,10115, about 1-2 mins from Nordbahnof S-Bahn station and just a few mins walk from Hotel Honigmond. It was very popular on the evening we ate there. It's a vegan Asian restaurant offering noodles, sushi, broths, salads, desserts etc., and a range of alcoholic and soft drinks. The staff are very friendly and service is very good. We very much enjoyed the Berlin walking tour. We covered about a third of it on our first day, stopping off at places of interest as we went. It helped us get our bearings in the City and we returned to it later during our four day stay. Some of our highlights - an evening tour of the Reichstag - culminating in a view of the City from the glass dome. Booking slots become available two months in advance and one needs to book then as it's very popular; the Olympic Stadium built for the 1936 games; the Stasi Museum; and the Tranenpalast (site of German division) at Friedrichstrase station.

I had some difficulty following the walking directioins this time, especially the ones around Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. The directions approaching and leaving were ambiguous. Offering N-S-E-W is not very helpful to a stranger and the direction to Stresemannstrasse was not clear. I thought the street you were referencing is now called Potzdamer Platz Strasse but that would not be the first time I was in error. It would be helpful if when you make reference to various museums (very helpful) you would also list the address not just the website. It would be helpful if the walking directions included distances especially when it is longer than a five minute walk in any one direction. I love all the suggestions for things to do. Apply as early possible for ticket to the Saturday Bach motet sings at St. Thomas as they sell out early, especially in December. Directions out of the Dresden-Neustadt HB are very hard to follow/orient. Both doors out of the HB have a "city' label above and it is a "hard" right to the closest crossing. You may want to revisit the use of the Dresden City Card for free entry as this is not always the case. In the Frauenkirche, use of cameras is permitted. Transport museum/Dresden is closed on Mondays as is the Albertinum. An alert that Czechoslovokia does not use the Euro would be appreciated. Again, your suggestions are many and so appreciated. It is just a bit dicy to be trying to decipher directions when -3 or -4 and snowing and once again, one's Google Map cuts out and you are literally left out in the cold; ordinarily, I would not mind a few missteps and retracing but in winter not very pleasant. Any help you can provide to locating the proper place to stand on the train platform for your wagon would be great; however, as I discovered, DB is not always very good at this one, even from a human being! Overall, your ideas are many and so thorough. You always offer a way to get to know a city in a minimum of time, especially the historical/social background.
There are so many reasons that we would have no hesitation in recommending Inntravel for walks in Europe:
1. Inntravel's customer service, from pre-sale to post-sale, was exemplary in every respect: friendly, responsive, timely .... and thoroughly professional. (Will, with whom we made initial contact, was especially helpful and responsive.)
2. Pre- and post-walking travel arrangements proceeded far more smoothly and easily than we had expected.
3. The location and quality of hotels also exceeded our expectations.
4. The walking routes and terrain were in total accord with out expectations (and abilities) and provided a range and variety of experiences.
5. Luggage and taxi transfers proceeded flawlessly.
6. The institution of WhatsApp-enabled communication and App-based maps and walking guides will only enhance what is already an excellent set of services
