Overview

If you are interested in a succinct overview of the incredible history of Berlin and would like to see the key-sights, then this is the tour for you.

Visiting the major sites with your expert-guide we will leave no stone unturned, as we touch upon the many Berlins that have been and gone in the past 800 years.

We will walk through the Brandenburg Gate, stand in front of the majestic Reichstag, stroll down Wilhelmstrasse (the nerve-centre of the Third Reich) and see one of the surviving fragments of the Berlin Wall. You will here hear tales of tragedy and triumph from across the ages and eventually head into what remains of the grand Imperial Capital.

Activity name

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
