Discover Berlin Half-Day Walking Tour

Really interesting tour and well worth doing to get to know the city. It's a half-day tour so bring supplies but there is also a stop at a cafe for bathroom and refreshments.

This leisurely walking tour is the perfect introduction to historic Berlin. Our knowledgeable guide Sebastian told Berlin’s story with verve and humor, making the morning thoroughly enjoyable. When choosing a walking tour in Berlin, choose this one and ask for Sebastian.

We had a bit of a stroke of luck in that having opted for the German tour we found we were the only people on it and it turned out to have been a great decision. Tom was a fantastic guide. Speaking mainly in German nice and clearly and switching to English from time to time when needed so we got a German lesson thrown in as well! he is very knowledgeable and a very nice guy. We learnt a great deal about Berlin which is a truly fascinating city.

We had a very enjoyable morning exploring Berlin In the sunshine and learning about its history. Our guide Sarah was very knowledgable and made it all very interesting and brought it all to life. Would highly recommend.

Very informative and enjoyable tour, however would be nicer just to slow it down a little bit . Well worth going on this trip

Sam Z was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, interesting and able to discuss challenging aspects of Berlin’s history in a very neutral and careful way. He was outstanding and we’d be happy to take other tours with him again. The tour itself covered all the ‘must sees’ and was not too strenuous. A great intro to Berlin.

Even though is was hot (96F), Alex was great finding shaded areas. He was a wealth of historical knowledge about Berlin. We enjoyed the tour and my 12 year-old learned something. :)

I Have taken this tour twice and would suggest it to anyone coming to berlin for the first time to see the city. The tour guide was great and tailored the tour to our group with small children.

The tour my husband and I took with Jess with excellent. He was very knowledgeable and had a great way of explaining things. My only suggestion is for him to be careful with how he spoke to the group individually. On the tour, he was very professional and did not swear. However when we asked him individual questions, he would swear in his answers. I understand this is common today, but it's much more professional when one avoids profanity in their speech.

Since Berlin is a big city full of history, we chose to go on a walking tour to get the most out of the 2 days we were there. Johnny was our tour guide (it’s classified lol) and he led us through the city with knowledge and ease. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and you will too!

This tour is a must do!!! We learned SO much about Berlin from this tour that it just made our whole experience better! Because of this tour, we were able to navigate where things were a lot easier so for this reason, I would recommend to do this tour on day 1 or 2 of your stay in Berlin. We did it on our second day and honestly I wish we did it as soon as we got there because it was THAT helpful! :) Also, I want to compliment our tour guide Johnny! He was phenomenal and had a vast knowledge of German history! He was very understanding as we were a group with young children in tow (ages 1 and 3)! I highly, highly recommend this tour!

Fabulous tour. Great introduction to Berlin ... all the major sites included. The tour guide was wonderful. If you do nothing else whilst visiting Berlin -- take this tour!!

Wouter was my families guide, two adults and 11 and 13 yo kids. He was amazing and a virtual fountain of knowledge. He was able to give a fantastic summary of the history of Berlin and kept everyone interested and entertained. The only question we had, was why two fishing poles Wouter??

Our tour guide was Rob from Manchester, and he was honestly one of the best tour guides I've had, and I always do walking tours of cities as it's by far the best way to see it properly. I do enjoy history but I don't always get why things happened. Rob has a wonderful way of explaining things to make them very human and relateable. He didn't list out boring facts and dates but instead told interesting stories that really drew us in. He is obviously a real history buff and truly loves Berlin. This walking tour is long but so interesting and the time flies. Just a tip, make sure and go to the loo when you get a pitstop in the middle of the tour!!!

An excellent 4 hours, Jess was so knowledgable and gave a very good insight into German history. You visit the main sights within Mitte and it gives you a fantastic grounding.

Very pleasant tour with Nathan
Lots of details and many interesting stories about the history of Berlin

James was a knowledgeable, interesting guide and he added intelligent questions and commentary to challenge us to think about the history he was describing. I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the wet afternoon of walking!

Awesome and informative tour of Berlin! It was great for both my parents and I who had totally different interests. I was able to learn a lot about Berlin’s history and they got to take tons of pics. Our tour guide was Nathan and he was beyond amazing. If possible, definitely request him!

We had the tour with Heidi. She was fantastic! This is my favorite city tour I’ve done out of four. Heidi gave a wealth of information, kept the walk at a good pace, and when it was over, I still wished there was more! I had an eight year old with me who also thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was very informative, thank you.

Heidi was brilliant, very knowledgable and helpful. It was a great way to see the city and get orientated.

Superb tour. Jonathan, our guide was very informative and knowledgeable. We had two young children with us and Jonathan made an effort to engage with them which was appreciated. Just the right amount of time to give enough information to decide what you want to explore in more detail. Covered most of the major sites too.

James was very good. Very informative, and elaborated a lot on history and events associated with each monument quite well. Our 9 year old son who joined us on the tour really had a great time walking with James

This is so worth the money. We had canadian chris take us on the.tour. he was very funny and informative. We learnt such a lot.in the time.we were with him. Thank you

Our tour guide Jonathan was excellent. He put an interesting perspective on how Berlin’s complicated history has evolved into the city it is today

This tour was a great overview of all the historical sites you can visit in Berlin in 4 hours. Since it is time-bound, dont expect to explore each place in detail. It starts with the Berlin Cathedral, moves on to Museum Island, Humboldt University, Checkpoint Charlie, the remains of the Berlin Wall and ends at the beautifully lit Brandenburg Gate. Chris (the Canadian) was our tour guide, and he was really good at explaining the history and culture of these places. Definitely recommend.

Jonathan was an excellent guide. The 4 hour walking tour was interesting and reflective. Rather than just telling us the history of the sites in Berlin he encouraged us in a respectful way to think and learn from it. We thoroughly would recommend it.

First solo city break and went on this tour on my first full day in Berlin. Sam Z was incredibly knowledgeable, showed us the sights in a logical historical sequence. Great tour to know the background - helps when you have a fab tour guide!

The tour with Scott was absolutely amazing. From the start until the end, he kept us entertained and the stories he told were really interesting. He managed to retell many years of history in only a few minutes with some jokes here and there to to keep the attention. The time management was on point and Scott really knows what he is doing and he is very good at it. All in all, we recommend this tour if you would like to learn everything important and interesting about the history of Berlin and visit all famous sites. This was, without exaggerating, the best tour we've ever been on!

Scott was incredible. Super knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. Learned a ton. Been on a lot of city tours and this was definitely one of the best!

We had a brilliant tour guide, Scott,for our tour who was well informed and made it really interesting. We saw lots on great sights and learned so much
