Ah, Berlin! From humble village beginnings to the capital of the mighty kingdom, then empire, through darkness and division of the Nazi and Communist eras and back to its glory as the defining capital of European culture, trends and fanciness – what a place to tell stories about!
On our tour we will journey from the east to the west, crossing times, rivers and stories that, especially in the last 200 years, have shaped not only the city but the entire world. Let us tell you who that Alexander on the Platz was, is there really any medieval Berlin and what are the connections between American and German Martin Luthers. Add to that the Humboldt University, Checkpoint Charlie and our finishing point, the Brandenburg Gate with its memories from the time of the Wall and you will have learned the basics of Berlin’s identity.
We will also revisit the stories connected with the darkest moments of the city, nation and Europe: Adolf Hitler’s rise to power and the resulting war and the Holocaust – the Jewish Memorial will remind us of the fragility of the world around us.
On the upper note feel free to ask us about the local hip and party scene, many calling it the defining nightlife scene of Europe and the beginning of the world trends. Berlin has learned its lesson – let the feeling of inclusiveness, hundreds of cultures coexisting and shaping the world for better take you!
On the tour we will see and discuss:

I joined the Welcome To Berlin tour with guide Jules who was a really informative and fun guide. The tour visited all the main places I wanted to see in Berlin and Jules had great historical knowledge and stories to share along the way. Length of tour was perfect. Definitely recommend.
Canadian Chris was extremely entertaining throughout the tour and made it so engaging even though the weather was atrocious. He was serious and respectful during the appropriate parts of the tour, leaving an impactful impression on us about the importance of those events. Chris has set a high bar for what a tour should be, and I would absolutely encourage everyone to sign up for one of these tours.
A fantastic tour with Tina, the most amazing guide! Have done several of this tours now and she was absolutely incredible and really enlighted us on the amazing city of Berlin! Thank you Tina!
