“We booked Berlin Christmas Magic and Holiday Tour for four and had to change our reservation to meet an hour earlier. Which we were advised would be no problem. However the lovely tour guide Natalie was advised we were a party of two and wanted a city tour. We got a city tour. The Christmas markets don’t open until 12:00 noon. Not happy!!”
