Itinerary

  • Berlin

    Meet your private guide on Oranienburger Strasse in West Berlin and start exploring the city at your own tempo. Pass by the New Synagogue, pausing to admire and take a picture of striking Moorish architecture, after that walk to the nearby Palace of Tears, a former border point between East and West Berlin. Uncover all the secrets about the divided city during the Cold War years as you explore the exhibition and hear the harrowing tales of how residents attempted to flee from Russian occupied East Berlin into Allied occupied West Berlin. At any time you will be able to take photos of the sights like grand Brandenburg Gate, one of the city’s most significant historic monuments, and wander around the moving Holocaust Memorial, a reminder of the city’s dark past. A visit to Hitler’s bunker will give you more information about Berlin’s WWII history and the rise of the Nazi party.

At the end of your tour explore the urban quarter of Mitte, where your guide will show you little-known attractions like the Missing House on Große Hamburger Strasse and the picturesque Heckmann Höfe.

5* Experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Dimitrios was our private tour guide and has definitely become a core memory of our recent trip! We were only in Berlin for a very short time and booked this guide as a way to see most of the sights and learn about the History in one round experience. Dimitrios gave us all of this and more, he was very knowledgeable and kept us engaged the whole time. Despite the miserable, wet weather, we were never cold and when it began raining heavily, he adapted and took us into a coffee shop and continued for a bit there - much appreciated! We learnt so much and b he tailored the information around what were were particularly interested in and were even treated to a currywurst lunch in a local café. He took the time to take pictures of us which have made great keep sakes. Thanks you Dimitrios for a thoroughly enjoyable and educational experience.
