Germany · BERLIN TOURS
Berlin is flat, enormous and layered, so the day is decided by what you book first. Build a first visit out of these 15: the Reichstag and the government quarter, the Wall line, the museum island and the boats that connect all three.
Meet by Bundestag station for a 2 to 2.5 hour English or German tour of Berlin’s government district and Reichstag. Guides such as Stefan, Andy, and Eva explain the building’s past, German democracy, Foster’s design, and the dome’s sweeping views. Plenary access can vary.
“Our guide Stefan was brilliant. His knowledge was amazing.”
Cruise the Spree for one hour from Friedrichstraße or Nikolaiviertel, passing the Reichstag, Bellevue Palace, Victory Column, Hauptbahnhof, Berlin Cathedral, and Museum Island. Comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, onboard drinks, and multilingual audio commentary make this a handy city overview.
“The boat trip was very pleasant, it wasn't very crowded and I was actually allowed to join earlier - my ticket was for 15:30 but I was there at 14:30, so the crew allowed me to join this group. Berlin is very beautiful being seen from the boat. Don't think twice, especially if you are there for a short amount of time and want to see as much of the city as possible.”
See central Berlin from the River Spree on a 135-minute round trip from Friedrichstrasse. You’ll pass the Chancellery, Bellevue Palace, Victory Column, Central Station, Charlottenburg Palace, and several canals. German commentary plays onboard, with audio guides in 12 languages.
“A great way to spend a couple of hours, very interesting and informative”
Walk from Hackescher Markt through Museum Island, Unter den Linden, Brandenburg Gate, the Holocaust Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie, and the Berlin Wall. Your English-speaking guide, such as Tobi, Georgia, or Rebecca, connects Berlin’s difficult past with its modern city life. Expect a brisk, story-filled route with no entry fees included.
“Absolutely brilliant! Worth every penny and so informative. Pitched and paced perfectly. I would definitely recommend doing it on the first day so that you can orientate yourself to the city and return to visit the spots most interesting to you later. Georgia was an excellent guide! Highly recommended.”
Spend a day touring Berlin by hop-on hop-off bus with live German and English commentary. Guides such as Otti, Dimitri, Steffi, Simon, and Thilo bring humor and local stories to sights from Potsdamer Platz and Checkpoint Charlie to the Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, and Tiergarten.

Join an English or German guide for a 75 to 90-minute walk from the Futurium through Berlin’s government quarter. See the Chancellery, Paul-Löbe-House, Wall memorials, Spree, and Reichstag exterior. The tour ends outside the Reichstag and does not include entry to the building or dome.
“First a multi langual guide that, even on his birthday, would lead the group of 14 in an enthousiatic way around the reichstag buildings. Gave a lot of background information on the surroundings. Second the professional german guide of reichstag explained in a detailed but still humoristic way the proceedings of reichstag employees. Lastly a walk around the rooftop and dome with splendid view over Berlin. Explanation with free audioguide multiple (also dutch) language. Good value for maney, to skip the line when free tours are already sold out.Read more”
