One tour, everything you need to know! Pioneered by historian and raconteur Terry Brewer, this full-day circuit is the city’s most comprehensive walking tour. There are no set routes, no scripts, and no limits. Our guides are given a licence to roam and a remit to show you the absolute best of Berlin – as much as is humanly possible in 6 hours. Join your expert guide and experience a city caught in the throes of Nazi megalomania, walk through a capital cut in two by the Cold War, marvel at the might of Prussia, explore hidden pathways in the former Jewish quarter, and learn how the traumatic legacy of the 20th century is written into the city’s fabric today.
