Overview

Explore the Berlin highlights on this scenic walking tour with an expert private guide. You will discover Berlin's beautiful architecture, its rich cultural heritage as well as its extraordinary role in major 20th-century events. From the dark days of the Holocaust to the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Germany's capital city also has a long and proud medieval history. Founded in 1200, it became a leading powerhouse of Medieval Europe. You will see the prestigious Humboldt University at Bebelplatz, the Brandenburg Gate, the Old Quarter, and the most beautiful square in the city, the Gendarmenmarkt. Your guide will explain their symbolism and contribution to the fabric of the city’s identity. Today Berlin is a modern and successful leader in business, politics, media, art, food, and music. People visit as much for the high-brow opera as for the lively nightclubs like the infamous Kit Kat Club! Simultaneously historic and modern, Berlin is a truly captivating city with a vibrant atmosphere.
