My Most Impactful Experience While Visiting Berlin

Pip was an extraordinary guide, making this walking tour the most impactful experience of my three day visit to Berlin in July 2026. Her professionalism and expertise was highly visible with her manner of presentation and ability to listen carefully and provide answers to questions. I've done several tours that I accessed with Get Your Guide, including this one, and I give it a 5-star Google rating with hesitation.

Ended up at the wall!

Great tour. This was our 3rd tour with the same company, and all excellent. Different but fab guides. Xavier was informative, funny and very caring as a few older people in our group were struggling with the heat & walk.

Left wanting to learn more

Our guide Paul was delightful. He was well informed and shared his stories in a very thoughtful and educational way. The time spent in Friedrich museum set us up for the rest of the tour.

Incredible value - educational and fun

Incredible value! So interesting, educational, and fun. Our guide, Xavier, was excellent with his historical knowledge and storytelling. The tour, which lasted almost 4 hours, also included helping us purchase a train ticket and showing us how to use the tram, subway, and bus. That was a bonus for us on our first full day in Berlin. We used the train for the rest of our trip after that! Highly recommend this tour and Xavier!
