Overview

In this private tour, you will discover how Berlin went from a provincial capital to one of the world's first metropolises. We'll trace the city's fate through a historical whirlwind of imperialism, democracy, dictatorship and division.

As well as an in-depth look at all the Berlin sights that you *need* to see, I'll leave your group with an abundance of tips and recommendations to make the best of your visit.

Prepare yourself for an exhilarating deep dive into the history of one of Europe’s great cities!
