11. Top 11? Don't most people do 10? Exactly!Dave doesn't do what "everyone" does. He is unique!
10. Dave is an American who has lived in Germany for over 13 years.He uses his language, history & cultural knowledge, as well as his vasttravel experience to create super port experiences. Most of his Germanfriends are impressed that he has seen & discovered more of Germany thanthey have!
9. As an "auslander" he has a unique perspective to offer on differences ofevery day life in Germany...from health care, politics and schooling toworking conditions, the economy and grocery shopping!
8. Dave is pretty damn funny. Hope you like to laugh!
7. He is also kind of fat which means he isn't too athletic. Hope you don't walk faster than him ortry to steal any "pommes" from his lunch plate! He might make you the butt of hisjokes for the rest of the day!
6. Dave is a cruiser, too! He's been on over 75 cruises so far and knows whatcruisers like, what they hate, what they are afraid of (missing the ship) and howto make sure they see a lot and make the most of their port time!
5. When you get back to the ship and all your cruise mates are complaining about howtired they are, how hot it was on the train for 3 hours each way, and how rushed theywere - yet didn't really see much in depth, you will be able to brag that you feel invigoratedfrom your day, saw so much you will need to look at your pictures again to remember it all, and you had the best food of the entire cruise!
4. Dave only accepts 16 people per tour group! You get personal attention. So therearen't any chances for "that one couple who can't tell time" to mess you up, youget to meet your tour mates and make great friends along the way!
3. Dave knows the pitfalls to avoid while travelling in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in thesummer (and the height of the German school vacation). You won't be stuck intraffic jams on 2 lane roads, left behind because the train ticket machines were out of orderor Deutsche Bahn changed tracks last minute and only makesannouncements in German!
2. Dave's tour and cruise style are simple... he doesn't try and rush you to 4 or 5cities in one day just so you can say you were there. He thoughtfully chooses sitesbased on their beauty, interest level, connection to the rest of your Baltic cruiseitinerary, and the quality of each establishment. He also makes sure you have timeto stop and smell the roses; after all...you are on vacation!
1. Everyone loves Dave. He rocks!
