Overview of your Berlin tour

This walking tour is ideal for first timers in Berlin or those who would like to rediscover the main sights from another point of view. The visit encompasses 300 years of history, from the Prussian Kingdom and Empire to the Third Reich and the Cold War through the modern day. You will not only get a good overview of the historical background of Berlin but also receive a wealth of information on today's modern metropole. Find out what is left from the Prussian empire. Why is the Brandenburg Gate the symbol of modern-day Germany? What was Hitler's megalomaniac plan and where was his last hiding place? Discover where the Wall stood and the events which occurred along the border between East and West Berlin. You will learn how the Wall has reshaped the city. This outdoor tour is a good alternative to a museum visit and a great introduction to both modern and historic Berlin. It can be tailored to your wishes and even customized to an entire day by combining it with the tour #41672:"Historical Berlin's Center"

Nicole was an amazing tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Berlin, Nicole was extremely accommodating. We felt very welcomed. She adapted her schedule to ours. She was engaging and a delightful person. I highly recommend tours by locals. This is my second time using this site (once in Kyoto and once in Berlin). They know how to select the best guides. Thank you again Nicole for a delightful time with you.

Nicole was great and my wife and I learned so much about Berlin walking around with her. We never would have been able to see so much if she hadn't taken us around the city. I would highly recommend using her for a walking tour if you ever get to Berlin
