This 6-hour tour is our flagship experience. It covers all the main points of interest in the German capital and is perfect for daytrippers, weekenders, or long-stayers alike. Let one of our professional, local guides give you a crash course in Berlin’s history and the inside track on one of the most exciting cities on the planet. Predominantly focusing on Berlin’s historical city center, Mitte, thematically the tour covers Prussia, Imperial Germany, Nazism, and the Cold War – painting the bigger picture to help you understand how different periods of Berlin’s past fit together, and how they affect the city today. In short, it’s all you need to know. See the Reichstag, burned down after Hitler’s rise to power, and now a bold symbol of modern German democracy and pass through the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin’s most iconic landmark.

You will also delve into the former Jewish Quarter, to marvel at the Moorish splendor of the New Synagogue and explore some of Berlin’s coolest backstreets, as well as walking through the old Nazi government quarter to see some remaining examples of Nazi architecture, the former SS and Gestapo Headquarters, and the site of Hitler’s Bunker. You will also visit Gendarmenmarkt and Bebelplatz, two of Berlin’s most beautiful squares, and much, much more... At the end of the tour, your guide will accompany you back to your hotel, or to a drop-off point of your choosing.
