What To Expect

Berlin (Pass By)

Begin your journey through Berlin with a host who lives and breathes the city. This experience is tailored entirely to your interests—whether you're drawn to its storied past, thriving art scene, or local cuisine. Before the tour, your host will reach out with a short questionnaire to shape the day around your preferences. Think beyond sightseeing—expect local stories, surprising discoveries, and a genuine connection with Berlin’s creative pulse.

Brandenburg Gate (Pass By)

Start at one of Berlin’s most iconic landmarks, a neoclassical symbol of unity and peace. Your host will share insights into the gate’s history—from its Prussian origins to Cold War division and its role in modern-day Germany. This is the perfect place to begin your Berlin story.

The Holocaust Memorial - Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (Pass By)

Walk through the hauntingly beautiful Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. As you explore the concrete slabs, your host will guide you through its symbolism and the stories it represents, creating space for thoughtful reflection and meaningful conversation.

Gendarmenmarkt (Pass By)

Wander into one of Berlin’s most elegant and atmospheric squares, framed by the twin cathedrals—the German and French Domes—and the majestic Konzerthaus. Your host will share the square’s layered history, from Prussian ceremonial grandeur to its post-war restoration. It’s a perfect pause to appreciate Berlin’s architectural contrasts and snap beautiful photos away from the busier tourist zones.

Promobo Hackesche Hofe (Pass By)

End your tour in Berlin’s creative core—a maze of hidden courtyards and vibrant murals in Mitte. Discover the city’s contemporary side as your host reveals stories of resistance, reinvention, and art. It's a chance to explore Berlin’s raw edge and the culture that thrives in its backstreets.
