Many languages to choose from. Would highly recommend if you need a nice break to rest your feet while learning about Berlin. The guides were great. Great table side service no matter where you sat.”

“Great tour. We had a very enjoyable local tour guide with deep knowledge of history and all the anecdotes you only can get from people living there a long time. Proceedings through the Reichstag were seamless, he was able to resolve a small problem stemming from a little snafu that happens because the event had to re-scheduled by a few hours.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 6,759 reviews · 1 day · from $21

Walk through WWII Berlin in a real bunker setting with audio in 11+ languages and a full Führerbunker replica.

“Fantastic and I am not a history fan. I went with my husband and he loved it. There are plenty of chairs for me to sit and read the boards and also listen to the dialogue all the way through. Just outside the station. Definitely worth more than the price paid. You can move as slow or fast as you like. I didn't find it claustrophobic at all as some people have said, it had fans and the rooms were mainly very big. The displays were set out so that anyone could read them in German and English as well as listen in whichever language you choose. If you like…”

“Joel was absolutely one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. Even with freezing temperatures and snow, he gave us an incredible Berlin tour that was thoughtful, engaging, and well paced. He stopped in warmer/sheltered areas to give more detailed stories and answer questions, which made the tour feel both informative and enjoyable given the extreme temps. And he offered my friend a hat since she had forgotten hers and was freezing! Overall a really nice person who wanted to make sure we all felt comfortable and welcomed to the city. Beyond this all, he gave great explanations to our questions to help us understand the city’s history better,…”
