Overview

The mayor himself memorably labelled the city 'poor but sexy'. This tour explains how the unification of the communist East with the capitalist West has produced a diverse, vibrant and exciting new German capital. If you want to get a sense of the true face of the city today, beyond the tourist trail, then come along on a tour of four very different Berlin neighborhoods. You will discover a city where gentrification is rife, alternative culture is thriving, immigration and assimilation are adding diversity and corporate culture is continually transforming the urban landscape.

We did two private tours in two days with the wonderful Nickolai. On day one we did the Cold War tour and followed it the next day with the Berlin Today tour. Both were informative and kept two adults and two teenage boys thoroughly engrossed, interested and entertained for the entire time. Nicolai was charming and friendly and of course highly knowledgeable. We hit it off straight away and it certainly helped that we shared many world views and opinions. Highly recommended!

My study abroad group and I were lucky enough to do a walking tour of Berlin with Pip. She was absolutely amazing; she knew pretty much everything about the entire city. She’s very smart and very funny and she made the tour go by too fast! Highly recommend this tour and Pip as your tour guide.

Stop searching already....book with INSIDER TOURS. Go PRIVATE if you can. This company has incredible tours but beyond that - their guides are PAR NONE. Ask for Brian Bell - he will make your tour memorable. He has an enthusiastic passion about Germany - in particular Berlin. His historical knowledgeable is captivating. You will enjoy listening to his presentation about past and present Germany - in particular Berlin. You will yearn for more time - for sure. Don’t miss this opportunity.

Me pareció muy pintoresco conocer los patios de Mitte y recorrer la avenida principal de Berlin del Este. El Barrio turco de Kreusberg muy variopinto y con una parada obligatoria por el lugar donde se creo el kebab; Hasir. Nustro guia Juan Montiel excelente y abierto a nuestras inquietudes.

Visite très intéressante avec une excellente guide Maria. Plus de quatre heures de marche dans différents endroits insolites de Berlin. Maria nous partage son expérience de Berlinoise d'adoption et se montre attentive aux besoins de chacun des membres du groupe.
