Full description

See historic Berlin on a walking tour through the city's most significant places. Take an informative, thought-provoking journey that brings the history of Berlin alive. Cover all of Berlin's main sights, from the Berlin Wall to the site of Hitler's bunker. Visit the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin Cathedral, Palace Square, and much more. Choose to take either a shorter or longer tour with a private guide to fit your schedule. Your guide’s superb story-telling skills will weave the themes of Prussian, Imperial, Nazi, Cold War and 21st-Century Berlin into a detailed narrative, stretching from Berlin’s swampy origins in medieval times, to the controversies over the design of the memorial, to the tragic story of the murdered Jews of Europe. Along the way, meet characters who have left their imprint on the city, including Albert Einstein, Marlene Dietrich, and JFK. Stand above the spot where Hitler took his life in April 1945, and see where daring escapes took place across the Berlin Wall before its momentous fall in 1989.

We just loved this guided tour as it points out the most visted locations in Berlin. Xavier our guide, a French guy who speaks beautifully english and lives in Berlin for years. What would you want for more? Really knowledgeable, energetic, and impartial when he talks about facts of history. Our guided tour took more than 4 hours, but we didn’t even realized how time flew by as there was always something new and interesting to learn and hear about. Overall, I strongly recommend this tour for visitors in Berlin.

Campbell was an amazing guide. He showed us all around the city and had so much knowledge. He showed us spots i would have walked passed without knowing they were even there. It was so worth the money. Great tour would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Berlin for the first time!

The guide, Chris, was great and very interesting. We had some issues getting there and mixed the first stop and there was no way to contact the guide to find out where to catch up with them. We wandered around until we found them, but we almost missed the whole tour - even though we pre-booked and paid.
