Hi, my name is Martin, and I'm a trained and certified Berlin Tour Guide with an MA from Bath...

The tour starts at Brandenburg Gate, located on Pariser Platz, lined with buildings known the world over: the Adlon Hotel, Max Liebermann's "townhouse", the Academy of Arts, Frank Gehry's Convention Center, etc. From there, we walk down, past the GDR's Ministry of Education, the Russian Embassy, . . . until we hit Friedrich Strasse. Next, we'll turn right into Gendarmenmarkt. As is our next stop, Bebelplatz - formerly known as Opera Square - known for the infamous book burnings that took place here in May 1933 as much as for the fabulous buildings it is surrounded by, among them the State Opera and the Hotel de Rome. Schinkel's Neue Wache and the Maxim Gorki Theatre are next before our tour ends on Museum Island. As an experienced and trained tour guide and as someone with an innate interest in art, history, and architecture, I'll not only fill you in about the significance of each and every building, but also about how they changed over time, and the many stories and anecdotes connected to them!
-Starting at the fabled Brandenburg Gate, we walk along Berlin's most prestigious Boulevard while I'll explain every building to you in detail. - After a brief diversion onto Gendarmenmarkt, we'll be back on Unter den Linden, on Bebelplatz, where I'll elaborate on the book burnings that took place on the 10th of May 1933 right here while also pointing out the buildings surrounding the square, some of which survived the war, some of which didn't. - Continuing our walk on Unter den Linden, we'll reach the renovated Opera Palais, now called "Palais Populaire", where a stop for a coffee in trendy surroundings is optional. - Next, well visit the Neue Wache where I'll be telling you all about the history of this iconic building. The Zeughaus and the Berlin Cathedral are next before we end our tour with a detailed explanation regarding one of Berlin's most famous landmarks - Museum Island - and its new future addition: the Humboldt Forum. I am more than willing to customize this tour according to your preferences.
