Landmarks and stories that shaped the city.
Duration2–6 hrs
First time in Berlin, or only got a day or two? This is the tour to start with. We'll walk the city center together and hit the landmarks that make Berlin, Berlin — starting at the Reichstag, then the Brandenburg Gate, the Holocaust Memorial, and the site where Hitler's bunker once stood. From there we head to Potsdamer Platz and Checkpoint Charlie for the Cold War story, past what's left of the Berlin Wall.
We won't skip the old heart of the city either: the Gendarmenmarkt, a stroll down Unter den Linden, Bebelplatz, and Museum Island round things out.
This is the most flexible tour I offer — there's always more to see in Berlin, so tell me what you're after and I'll build the route around it, or just follow my recommended path. Combining it with another tour? I'll make sure nothing overlaps.

I am angry with myself for not doing this immediately. Dennis was one of the best tour guides we have ever used. We have done extensive traveling using guide's all over the world and Dennis was without question one of the very best. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable, agreeable, respectful and quite frankly easy to be with. He was our guide for three days. He listened to us with respect to our sightseeing goals and we really saw everything that we wanted to see. My husband and I were traveling with another couple and we all felt the same way. Thank you Dennis for making our Berlin experience unforgettable.
