Berlin is a city full of history and culture. Learn the secrets of its dark past as you explore sites related to World War I and II, the Cold War, and the city's founding. Since many sites have been torn down to erase the negative correlation, this is the perfect city to have a private guide.

Meeting you at your hotel, your guide starts the day with a brief overview of Berlin’s 800-year history, from Berlin’s humble beginnings to the creative world city it is today. As you are driven through Berlin's historic center you have the opportunity to walk through the Brandenburg Gate, explore the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, stand above the remains of Hitler’s bunker, and touch the Berlin Wall.

Then, see how the von Hohenzollerns, Prussia's royal family, turned Berlin into a world city when you visit Museum Island, the Berlin Cathedral, and Babelplatz, where Frederick the Great planned to bring the Enlightenment to the people of Prussia.

Your guide also takes you through the dark years of the Nazis, visiting sites such as the Neue Wache, the book burning memorial, and the former headquarters of the SS and the Gestapo.

Drive through the old Cold War border crossing point, Checkpoint Charlie, as your guide explains how, when, and why Berlin was divided by the Wall, and how the East Germans brought it down with a peaceful revolution in 1989. The tour finishes with you being dropped off at your hotel, or at a central location of your choice.
