  • 5Great tour of a fascinating city

    It was a perfect overview of Berlin on our first full day of the city. Our guide, Giles, was very knowledgeable and personable. He gave us recommendations for other things to see and do in the city and was able to answer all of our questions. It was a great experience and would highly recommend.

  • 5Berlin Loaded with History.

    There is a lot of walking so wear comfortable clothes. Our guide Dylan was fantastic and so knowledgeable. He provided heaps of information in a really good manner and kept the tour really interesting with little anecdotes that were like bid reveals. There is a break part way through at a cafe so take some money for a coffee and cake. Do this tour the day you arrive.

    Very first time doing a walking tour and we was very impressed with the information and knowledge that Beny our guide told us. We are so glad we did it otherwise we would have missed out on things that we wouldn’t have spotted like Hitlers bunker underneath a sandpit. We will definitely be looking at booking a tour next year in Krakow

About Berlin

Berlin is Germany's creative, open-minded capital, where landmarks of a turbulent history stand among art, green parks and legendary nightlife.

The Brandenburg Gate is the city's symbol, close to the glass-domed Reichstag and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Fragments of the Berlin Wall survive, most strikingly at the East Side Gallery, a long stretch covered in murals, and at the Bernauer Strasse memorial, while Checkpoint Charlie marks the most famous former crossing point.

Top-ranked sights in Berlin: Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor), Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (Holocaust Memorial), Checkpoint Charlie.
