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.
