4.9 / 5 · 4,651 traveler reviews
Discover Berlin’s extraordinary and vibrant present on an engaging, stress-free, award winning walking tour, led by an expert local guide. Explore the city through unique perspectives and fascinating stories while visiting Berlin’s most iconic landmarks, including the Berlin Wall, Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Checkpoint Charlie, Museum Island, and Bebelplatz. Stand above the site of Hitler’s bunker, where the Third Reich spent its final days, and learn how Berlin transformed from the centre of Nazi power into a divided Cold War city and eventually into the dynamic capital it is today. Along the way, your guide will bring history vividly to life through stories of resistance, survival, division, and reunification — from WWII and the Nazi era to daring Cold War escape attempts and the fall of the Berlin Wall. More than just sightseeing, this tour offers a deeper understanding of Berlin, its people, and the events that shaped the modern city, all at a relaxed, easy walking pace.
