Overview

One Island. A Thousand Years of History.

Step into the beating heart of Berlin’s past on this 2-hour walking tour through Museum Island — where emperors strolled, revolutions sparked, and world-changing events left their mark.

With your expert local guide leading the way, you’ll uncover the layers of history packed into this iconic square mile. Stand beneath the majestic Berlin Cathedral, trace the faded scars of WWII, and dive into stories of Prussian royalty, Nazi propaganda, and Cold War secrets — all woven into the very streets beneath your feet.

You’ll hear about the world-famous museums and the treasures they hold, but this tour is about more than just artifacts — it’s about the drama, resilience, and reinvention of Berlin itself.

Whether you're a history lover or just here for the vibes, this is your perfect intro to the epic saga that is Berlin.
