What you'll do

You’ll dive head-first into the gritty yet glamorous city of Berlin with one of our friendly local Berlin hosts by your side. We understand that a city is more than a place, but a feeling, and that’s exactly what you’ll experience on your day out.

From the graffitied remnants of the Berlin Wall to the famous WW2 memorials, Berlin wears its history on its sleeve and your host will help you seek the true nature of this frank city. Perhaps you’d like to walk the length of the open-air East Side Gallery or witness the stunning architecture of Brandenburg Gate?

If you only have the day, your host will aim to open your eyes to the authentic nature of Berlin beyond the tourist hotspots; and soon you’ll understand just why they love their eclectic, vibrant city as much as they do!

Soak up the atmosphere of this hipster-hub as you wander the streets, enjoying local eats (no one’s saying no to food from our side), and maybe indulge in some German beer along the way.

    It was really lovely to meet Verena and Bruno and to show them around. We had a great connection and the museums they wanted to visit were lovely. They have very warm and big hearts and I hope they have a lovely onward journey and holiday.

    Absolut empfehlenswerte Tour!!! Wer das Berliner Leben absolut weg vom Mainstream Tourismus kennenlernen will, sollte unbedingt diese Tour mit Stephan buchen. Er und seine Tour sind BERLIN!

    Allessandra (City Tour - Berlin) Allessandra is the best! She took us on an expert tour of Berlin that balanced the deep history of the city with the food and culture of the people living there now. We were able to see most all of the expected historic and tourist sites as well as stop into local oriented cafes and shops for snacks and to sample the food and craft beer of Berlin. Allessandra is fun and personable and did an excellent job of guiding us though the day. She was able to give us a great understanding of the city with plenty of personal anecdotes and advice and was extremely helpful with providing suggestions and recommendations for further adventures in Berlin. Awesome tour and we can’t recommend Allessandra enough! Love her!

    We can highly recommend this tour. Darren was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable about his city. Because we were interested in the Cold War history of Berlin, he took us to not only the tourist spots but to places of interest that we would not have found on the map. It was fascinating. Because the weather was bad, we had some great coffee stops in quirky cafes. After lunch, we decided that we’d had enough history so Darren suggested that he show us a bit of “his Berlin '' - markets, fantastic street art and areas we probably wouldn’t have discovered. That was the advantage of doing a private tour. Despite the rain...fabulous!
