It was a terrific intro to Berlin. Our guide, JJ, was great, clearly has an enthusiasm for history and delivers it in an interesting and engaging manner. the tour hits all the main points, which you can then go back and visit at your own pace. But, wow, I cannot recommend what the Famous tour covers and JJ enough!

Get to know the history of the city from the time of the Teutonic Knights to the present day

Description

Delve into the history of Berlin on a tour that charts the city’s development from the time of the Teutonic Knights through to its key role in the major events of the 20th century: as capital of the Third Reich, as the divided city of the Cold War and as the modern capital of a unified Germany.

Stroll down Berlin's royal boulevard and retrace the city's evolution from a pagan fishing village to the capital of Prussia, a centre of the Enlightenment under Frederick the Great, a scene of Napoleonic occupation and the capital of Bismarck's German Empire.

Walk across the final battlefield of WWII and find out how the peculiar events surrounding the Reichstag fire led to the Nazis' rise to power in 1933.

Stand at the site of Hitler's bunker.

Visit one of the longest remaining sections of the Berlin Wall left standing.

Discover the site where the Stasi and CIA spied on each other, and heroic and tragic escape attempts were made.

Explore Berlin's government quarter and get a feel for the contemporary face of the city, its development since the fall of the Wall and its future direction.

Famous Walk
As first time visitors in Berlin this tour is an absolute must! What a great introduction to the city, its main attractions, as well as its history. Our tour guide, Jared, was excellent. A very knowledgeable gent with a quirky sense of humour. He gave some great advice on his personal favourites, restaurants, and general things to do in the area. My hubby and I would highly recommend this city walk.

Our tour guide was John (JJ) and his love of Berlin is obvious. He was extremely knowledgeable, and his enthusiasm was contagious. His quirky sense of humor made the time fly by. I highly recommend beginning your trip to Berlin with this tour. JJ‘s mother Caroline should be proud!
