Germany · BERLIN TOURS
Berlin does not have a centre so much as several, and they are a long way apart. These 15 take the strain out of that: the government quarter and the dome, the Wall and what is left of it, the courtyards, the canals and the food. Prices, running times and how far each one walks you.
Reichstag dome and Plenarsaal guided tour in Berlin with free dome registration and rooftop skyline views, about 2.5 hours for $18.
“Andy is the best tour guide, by far. He shared so much information in a conversational way that kept all of us interested. Everyone on the tour hung on his every word, even in the pouring rain.”
Take a 1-hour Spree river cruise in central Berlin past the Reichstag and Berlin Cathedral, with multilingual audio and guaranteed seating.

A 2.25-hour River Spree cruise in Berlin with audio in 12 languages, major sights from the water, and onboard drinks for purchase.
“It was exactly as we had hoped for. A two hour tour along the river Spree, and even though the weather was... cold, and wet, we stayed on the upper deck where we could see everything. Absolutely recommendable.”
A 3.5-hour Berlin guided walk through four eras, from Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag to Checkpoint Charlie and Topography of Terror.

“We hadn't noticed the tour was all in German until we arrived. The tour guide was very pleasant and accommodated us by giving a summary in English after each part of the tour. His English was perfect and he was very informed.”
Jewish Museum Berlin: symbolic Libeskind architecture, powerful Jewish history exhibits, free entry, and a useful audio app. Plan about 2 hours.
“Very interesting, though quite depressive. However, it is not the fault of the Museum but of the scary ideology and politics of the Nazi Germany.”
Berlin WelcomeCard gives you ABC-zone public transport in Berlin, incl. BER Airport, plus discounts up to 50% for sights and museums.
“The sites I wanted to visit om my short break were spread around the city so the use of public transport was anticipated. The 72hour Welcome card which I bought on line in advance was a great value for money option for me. I set the start time for my arrival at the airport and from that point I was able to just walk onto all the transport I needed. I used both the U Bahn and S Bahn services and it was efficient and effortless. Combined with the 25% savings on some of the locations I visited it was certainly good value for money without thinking of buying further…”

“As somber as visiting a concentration camp is, Ariel made the experience deeply informative and meaningful during our visit to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. We learned so much throughout the tour, and he made sure to highlight the most significant areas of the site with care and respect. He was polite, patient, and attentive—answering every question, listening thoughtfully, and even helping us catch the correct train on the way back. He couldn’t have been more pleasant. Thank you, Ariel, for making this important visit both memorable and impactful.”

Walk through Berlin-Mitte courtyards with a guide, from Haus Schwarzenberg to Heckmann-Höfe, and learn how the Jewish quarter evolved.
“The tour was excellent, well documented, we got to discover a lot of hidden gems. I recommend it. 😍😍😍 My only surprise was that I was expecting a bilingual tour either with French or English, and it was only in German. For that reason, I unfortunately wasn't able to understand the history behind the gems.”
