This tour was offered by MSC for when its ship 'Poesia' was berthed in Warnemunde, and we booked it through MSC - a good choice as it turned out. Our guide - born and bred in Warnemunden - spoke German and English fluently, even English with a slight American accent to appeal to the American guests present. He was also very knowledgeable and well-prepared with ilustrative material. We travelled from the ship at Warnemunde to Rostock by bus and then went on a walking tour over mainly historic parts of Rostock, a very attractive city with many opportunities for good photos. At a pre-arranged local hotel booking, we then experienced a delightful tasting of German beer with sausage and prezels before continuing to walk (via the interesting astronomical clock in the cathedral) to the Warnow River, where we boarded a ferry to travel the scenic route back to Warnemunde. Here we disembarked and walked beside the inlet where, on this Sunday, the shops and cafes were open in a bright festival-like setting. All very enjoyable..
